A friend lent me this point and shoot to try out. It's too simple! While the images came out OK, there was no feedback from the camera that focus had been achieved. No lens movement . . . only a green light in the tiny viewfinder that gave an indication it was OK to shoot.I have found that the longer the zoom range is with P&S cameras, the not as great the IQ. And subject to camera distance can often really make a difference - some were designed more to be used up to mid distance i.e for snaps of your family and friends. These look good but the tell tale re sharpness is the numbers on the license plate and house.
But the reality is to not expect too much from them - they are for happy snapping when you do not have your serious gear w you, or for when you want to be able to hand over the camera to someone else w/o needing to explain what to do.Most definitely agree! This was fun to borrow a friends point and shoot for the experience (or lack thereof). I'll likely get a point and shoot but I'll focus on a single focal length rather than a zoom. I've been looking but the prices are insane for some of these cameras . . .Right now the smart money is on single focal length cameras like the Fuji Work Record (sweet 28mm lens), Nikon Lite Touch AF/AF 600 (tiny, again sweet 28mm lens). I say that because that is what I have .
But all kidding aside, they are great and still affordable because they haven't caught on yet like the trendy ones. Outside that, a short zoom P&S. Like 2x range tops. It is nutty that an Olympus Stylus/Mju is worth more money than a Nikon F3.. or F100. Purely driven by social media.

Well I got an AF Slim-Zoom for the princely sum of $20. Hopefully it's not as tired and noisy as my Canon, because I really do like the idea of a P&S in the modern age. As categories of film looks go, the point-and-shoot look with a deep DOF, consumer film, and sometimes a flash is probably the hardest to come by in the digital age.

As the lens is er, low contrast, it works best in bright sunny conditions w a nice punchy B&W film. Yeah it’s low fi with smeary sides but so what? Use it knowing that. I do find the images remarkably pleasing to look at, because of the faults.
And it’s all your fault posting the shots you took w yours..
How many rolls have you put through yours? What is the life expectancy of these things? 20 rolls?

I'm a slow shooter, I've only put maybe 5 rolls through? Doesn't really matter the life expectancy, if it breaks just buy a new one. I've gotten my money's worth and then some in terms of fun and results.

The wind out of the gorge has been blowing away the fog before it gets the chance to hang around. On the other hand, it’s been clearing a lot of the dead branches out of my trees.
