My Camera
I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 and a Canon PowerShot SD450.
When I was considering the Lumix, I also considered:
For my upcoming BurdensLanding:Korea trip, I'm considering a new camera:

Techniques
Wide aperture (smaller f-stop) decreases depth of field and gives you blurry background.
Try increasing the ISO for darker shots or action shots.
My camera doesn't have aperture or shutter priority modes, but they're good features to be aware of.
8 Guidelines to Taking Panoramic Photos with any Camera.
Big Pictures
Panoramic
Photo Mosaics
The best tool for doing these on Linux seems to be metapixel:
- Generating Awesome Photomosaics on Linux with Metapixel
- Create Photo Mosaics with Metapixel
- Three photo mosaic apps compared
Tools
I've developed my own tools for cataloging my digital prints, which I will eventually clean up and release. They are inspired and based heavily on Gerald Oskoboiny's digital photo publishing software.
Notes
Tags + types. Tags can have types. If I want to get really funky, types can have relationships -- an ontology! For example, the "Eugene Eric Kim" tag could be of type "People." This would allow me to do faceted classification.
Collections (or albums) cannot be tags, because you want to be able to do special things, like define cardinality and other metadata within a collection. However, you ought to be able to assign a photo to multiple collections.
I'd love to integrate Greg Elin's Fotonotes for granular annotations.
Leica
One day, I'm going to get a Leica M8:
