More seriously, except when one is bokeh-whoring, you can take most of these photos just fine with a compact camera that has a halfway decent lens on it and allows for taking photos in a raw format so you have the most processing leeway. If you absolutely have to take them in jpeg you're more likely to become limited to taking photos of things you can prepare for beforehand to essentially 'force' the camera to bend to your will, getting what you want rather than what the camera wanted.

Also, Polo786 your images aren't showing at all and are inaccessible for me via the links from quoting your posts.

*edit*As a quick addition to the point above, this was taken using an at-the-time cheapest you could get compact camera. Having a R100k combination of camera+lens would not have made the photo come out any better (aside from being sharper and a higher resolution) if I had taken it as a jpeg, as I had to do with that compact.

Aaaand now I feel like posting a few of my 2008 Japan trip snapshots.

I know the competition is open to all, but my point was that people already had the same camera that is the competition prize :D.
 
I think all entrants with Canon's already should be excluded.. they already have awesome quality pics... Need one of us with normal point and shoot cams to win ;)

Some people can also afford to drive R250k cars and live in multi-million rand homes. Doesn't mean they'll take award-winning photos or ever aspire to be able to do so, but that's also not a reason for them to not enter.

If anything the judges could have a look at whether or not people entering have already won substantial prizes/acclaim for the same photos used in this competition (reverse image search) and/or whether or not they're already profiting substantially from their existing equipment, and whether or not their existing equipment is superior to the prize or not.

Canon makes normal point and shoots too... like mine.

To attach your image you need to post it using one of the buttons above the edit field for 'attach image', then use the item that pops up to upload it. Entries for this competition closed yesterday, though.

Stop buying expensive cellphones and tablets and you too can afford to buy one.

In general, most already have awesome camera's. Very few point and shoot entries... just saying ;)

The majority of people entering appear to have point'n'shoots, older bridge cameras or cellphone cameras, actually.
 
That moment when someone that has done such a terrific job of not reading a competition's rules whatsoever posts to that competition's thread after it's already closed.

Good point - I'm going to go ahead and close the thread. I think it's safe to say that images not adhering to the instructions in the original post will not be considered.
