Thursday, July 29, 2010Vacation cameras It’s probably safe to say that more pics are taken, every year, with small digital cameras of the point and shoot variety than all other cameras put together. Yes, nothing beats a point and shoot digital camera for convenience – that’s hardly news to anyone – but as an old camera user it still amazes me just how good they can be when it comes to picture quality. No, I’m not saying these small digital cameras will ever replace DSLRs or my beloved film cameras, but point and shoots can do a remarkable job in the right hands and if you keep your expectations within the range of what digital point and shoot cameras can achieve. These days, for instance, most of the pics I take get emailed or used for my blogs. Even an average point and shoot digital camera offers enough resolution for that kind of use and, because of their size, I always have room to carry one of these cameras. That, in itself, is a big feature in a camera. I debated long and hard before we left on our western trip as to whether I should take the film cameras, but in the end, there just wasn’t room, since we restricted ourselves to carry on bags, only. By the time I added a laptop, two cases of harmonicas, a GPS, my compact binoculars and small digi tripod, there was simply no room for my SLR cameras, but there was room for my little Sony Cybershot. That means I won’t return home without some pics of our western vacation and that is one very big camera feature, indeed. About the pic: Can you see the hawk in the dead tree? Okay, there are some things a digital point and shoot cannot do. Could have used a much bigger lens Comments: |
