Im trying to get into taking decent quality photographs such as these here..(as far a clarity goes)

Of course Im guessing you need the right combination of filters, lenses, etc but..

 Im getting a good deal on a camera and needed to know if I could do said things with this + different lenses and a little photoshop.

You can't change lenses on a G11, but you should be able to get shots like the ones posted above with just the camera.
I suggest a Nikon D40 though, they are cheap and will let you change lenses in case you get into photography.

Thanks for the help...Im just trying to figure out what I want

I saw somewhere where you could apply an adapter to the camera ...Is this for a filter or does that mean a lens?

There is no way you will achieve the photos that Bobby Hundreds puts on his blog with a G11. That dude's setup is probably $4000+ (Mark 2 w/ L-lens) so there is no way you can get even close with a point and shoot. Even with the beginner DLSRs, you won't achieve the best quality pics but with the right lens, you can get something decent. I would suggest just going the DSLR route because anyone who is really into this will always upgrade from a point and shoot to a DSLR anyways.

I suggest the Canon T2i or T3i. Get that with a the 50mm 1.8 prime lens and that should hold you down in getting some decent stuff.

since we're on the subject, what's a good starter camera for someone who wants to get into photography? i've always been into it and figured i would take it up this summer, looking for the best camera i can get for under $1,000.
