Q. for Ken Rockwell
Q. Why would anyone waste $150 on a P&S camera when a cellphone will
also take pics just as well? I mean, unless you're Ansel Adams or somethin, you aren't gonna notice any difference, right? |

I was suckered into buying this worthless Nikon. It won't even make telephone calls, and I bet your silly Canon is no better! -- Floyd L.

ups.com... Q. Why would anyone waste $150 on a P&S camera when a cellphone will also take pics just as well? I mean, unless you're Ansel Adams or somethin, you aren't gonna notice any difference, right? A friend has a Sony camera phone with a 2mp sensor. It takes pretty decent photos, within its limitations of course. But given that these limitations are not important to Rockwell, your question is quite valid. In fact, why have a camera at all? My girlfriend is a pretty decent sketcher, and she can draw a scene in a couple of minutes. Isn't that good enough? :-) |

My girlfriend is a pretty decent sketcher, and she can draw a scene in a couple of minutes. Isn't that good enough? Indeed. My wife and I went on a Burke Museum sponsored tour of old Haida village sites in the Queen Charlotte Islands back in July. There were a bunch of cameras on the boat. My brand-new FZ30, several big Nikon dSLR's, the skipper's Canon with a big heavy hunk of glass on the front. One of the women on the boat sat and sketched or painted on all of our excursions ashore. She brought all of her images to the get-together we had last month, and darned if she didn't "shoot" some of the same scenes I did and I like her rendition better. Paul Allen |

I think if you gave Adams a cellphone and told him to get on with it, he'd come back with better pictures than most of us even with our latest piece of flashy technology from Hassy, Leica, Canon or Nikon... |

Only after spending many hours in his digital darkroom. Ansel's big secret weapon was his darkroom skills. That's where the magic happens. |
