Oops. I was wrong.

My abject and humble apologies to the P&S users here.

I was wrong. the Japanese are still using P&S cameras.

I like the idea of the stabilizer.

ROFL. Except that in real life it's a destabilizer.

At least they have a chance for some of their photos to come out
looking good. I cringe when I hear the sound of a disposable camera
having its film advanced. You know that ratcheting kind of sound as
they go to the next frame. In the past I have seen people take one of
those cameras on a week long vacation, taking something like 24 photos
and maybe if they are lucky getting two that are worth much of
anything.

I think the popularity of those disposable cameras is fading, at least
I seem to hear that sound far less then I use to.

So whereas the P&S cameras might not be the best, they are far better
then some of the alternatives, like cell phone cameras for example.

I used to cringe when I heard that yucky "gritch-gritch-gritch" in
my wedding videography sound tracks while editing - BLEAH!
Now, of course, people don't turn off the "Beep!" when they do
anything with their digitals. I once shot a concert with the person
who hired me sitting nearby constantly diddling with her digital
camera - and I had to do a lot of editing around that and other
problems. I'm glad I retired - though it was not for that reason...;-(

My camera club has an annual photo contest in which disposable cameras must be
used. The rules a use one 24-shot camera only, no dinking in Photoshop,
entries are developed & printed at 8X10 commercially, pick your best shot. Some
of the entries are pretty darn good! Sometimes working with limitations makes
you think, take your time & get creative.

Not that I'd give up my DSLR system! ;o)

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well

While a few high-end cell phones have cameras with 5 mp, and even flash,
the vast majority of them are pretty near worthless.
What do you want from a camera lens the size of a pinhead?
