Not so. Magnesium smoke is quite toxic.

While sniffing the stuff probably isn't a good idea, one gets the
impression there are more serious things to worry about.

Nonsense. People do this with some macro modes on P&S cameras all
the
time. If you have trouble focusing a few inches from your face, get
glasses.

How many people with P&S do you know that use manual focus?

Well, I did try it once on my DCS-H1. I will not try it again...well,
not
unless I have an entire day to kill.


I really do not understand what you are talking about. Using manual
focus is pretty easy, especially if the camera has a focus ring.
Things will get better when the resolution of the LCD/EVF increases.
-Rich

Right Rich, lots of P&S cameras have focus rings don't they???


Just as you ignore anything not DSLR, I don't really include those
silver rectangular things you can't even put a filter one.
I was just using the Panason FZ30 which does have a manual focus and
zoom ring.

Good, thats one then.

There are more than that. Fuji's 9000 is another. The long zoom
"prosumers" seem to be providing them.
