It's not only the camera. You have to know the settings of a camera and know how to process the pics. And I'm sure, that many a photog would have done even better than that with the same equipment.
An example: Just a few days ago, we got one of those dumb replies to a rejection mail, saying, that he didn't manipulate the pics, and that they were of good quality and that he would upload the pics somewhere else. I just looked at one pic: completely stretched during resizing!!

I even have some approach shots taken with a Coolpix 5700 in the databse, but overall it is imho much harder to get an acceptabel shot with such a camera. And we still have to see the impact of 5Ds, D200 and lots of 20Ds and 350XTs that we will see in the next year.

Harder I have no doubt, but by no means impossible as your own shots illustrate. Yes the light has to be right, and forget about using any ISO other than the lowest available, and you'll still lose some shots due to inaccurate autofocus or other reasons. And the good shots may still need quite a bit of work in Photoshop before they're uploadable. But it still doesn't mean "Abandon all hope all ye who lack a DSLR". This is a half-full versus half-empty argument.
And I should add that point-and-shoots are also improving. From what I can see there's quite a difference in image quality between the Canon Powershot A85 and its successors, the Canon A5xx series. I won't write point-and-shoots off yet.

Originally posted by seahawkAs I have shown I myself do have P&S shots in the databse, but I believe that it will be increasingly hard to get them accepted. First of all we will have more DSLR users and secondly we will have more users with semi-pro or pro level DSLRs uploading. All I´m saying that anyone using a P&S wil have to accept a higher rejection rate and pick his shots carefully. For exampel getting a plane while taxiing is easier, then getting it after lift-off -> with a P&S.
If we forget those that are as expensive as entry level DSLRs, I think they will be pressed harder and harder to get to the increasing standard with time.[SIGNATURE GOES HERE]

For those saying that the influx of higher quality cameras will "subconsciencely" raise the quality requirements...you are right.
However, you also have to look at the other side of the issue: these same higher quality cameras are becoming less and less expensive. Just look at the price of a 300D now!

Originally posted by BA747-436It really isnt that hard to get photos accepted here with a P&S. As has just been shown not knowing the in's and out's of your equipment is where allot of new photographers trip up. Learn about your equipment, find its boundaries and work with in its limitations...[SIGNATURE GOES HERE]

Can you post some examples? I only ask, because I know, how I use "bad quality".

I´m eagerly waiting to get a D200 to replace my D100, so that I get an F100 style DSLR.
