I was browsing some sites and I came upon the site of a photographer named Liao Yusheng. He has an architectural and travel photography site called Figure/Ground.
As I was browsing his site, I came upon a link to his flickr site and saw a ton of pictures taken with a Ricoh Caplio GX100. This camera came out in 2007 and is a 10 MP point and shoot camera that has 24mm wide angle zoom lens. Having a 24mm lens means it can take great landscape photos. But that's not why I'm writing about him. What interested me was I saw a lot of his photos in flickr taken with the Ricoh Caplio GX100.
He has press shots, travel photos, food photos or as they say food porn and various other photos using the Ricoh Caplio GX100 or other type of point and shoot cameras. He does have a few shot with a Nikon D700 DSLR. But the point is, a lot of his shots were done beautifully on a simple point and shoot camera.
As I always say, it's not the camera, it's the photographer. Don't worry about what camera you have, learn to take better composition and read the light and you can get better photos even without an expensive DSLR camera.
