I'm probably heading to Taiwan once I finish up over here and have been lurking on the Forumosa forums for a while now.

They have links to some amazing photos of Taiwan,

You don't need a "nice" camera to take nice pictures. This country is filled with guys who buy top-of-the-line cameras with cannons for lenses, and don't know what an f-stop is.

And I like to think I have some good pictures of this country, but it's been a while since I took pictures comparable to those.

I was going to say something about how there are limits to how good photos can be if you don't have a really good camera and a bunch of different lenses but then I saw the 400 dollar camera he's got

I used to be into photography, I should get back into it. Be aware that beautiful photos like that also require that you fiddle with the colors, contrast, etc. That either means a fully-equipped darkroom, or Photoshop.

Yeah I'm torn between that one or the Lumix-FZ20. According to the reviews the quality of it is better than many 8mp cameras.

I decided to throw some pictures together. These are all from either Seoul, Suwon, Uiwang, Inchon, or Seokmodo.

if I was going to get that kind of camera I think I'd get a lumix, Leica lens, image stabilisation gizmo, seems like a great buy to me.

I don't know how "good" any of them are, but I certainly like taking photos and putting them up on my blog.

And, I really like this thread...keep 'em comin!
