In all honesty I don't think I'm going to even bother entering a pic until i have a £500+ camera. Otherwise its pointless...

I dont want to come across as boring or anything but it just seems pointless.

I find you are competing against professional photographors, maybe not professional but extremely good ones with very expensive cameras.

Do you thing it's worth competing with this?

"Crap" cameras can still take good pictures if you bother to use them correctly ...likewise good cameras will only take really good photos if you bother to learn how to use them.

It's not about winning, we post pictures because we like to see other peoples animals.

if you have an eye for a good picture or composition then its possible to take a very good photo with most camera's all the expensive ones do is make it slightley easier and do some of the more difficult bits for you, never give up on anything that you enjoy doing simply because you can't afford the more expensive items, my daughter used to compete at showjumping on a county level on a loaned pony and borrowed equipement.

Of course it is. I would be just as happy using my Fuji finepix for a competition pic. I certainly didn't have time to concentrate on technicalities for my pic, I had to grab my camera immediately and snap away quickly just to capture the moment.
To be honest I think many photos making it into the finals are there because of the moment caught, not down to expensive equipment and even if you have expensive equipment it certainly does not make you a good photographer. Does owning expensive paints and paper make you a great artist?
