Kell,

Your photo above is...well delicious!. I agree that you can get superb pics with a good compact digital camera. I have no intention of retiring my 12Mp Powershot. I did consider the new piezo drive Tamron, but went with the bulkier lens. I'm still second-guessing that decision, which had to take total cost into account. But I am pleased with the 18-270 lens and glad that I opted for the Vibration Control version, which is worth every penny and then some. I did read that it takes more battery power, but that doesn't seem to matter much. Even after a few hours my battery still indicates "full".

I haven't posted many pictures on DG with the T2i, but there are a few at the orchids forum:

The Nasturtium shown here shows the marcro capability. This was hand held and manually focused.
This is perhaps the best example so far of something I haven't been able to do before. I'm still just experimenting with it.
