Point And Shot Cameras

As a guy in my 50s, of course I've shot on film before, but only snapshots on point-and-shoot cameras. I got into serious photography in the digital age, and have only recently (re)discovered the joy of shooting film. A photog buddy recommended this film and it's amazingly versatile and forgiving. Both the attached images were taken on an Olympus Trip 35, and you can see how it seems to do beautifully both indoors and out.

Many point and shoot cameras have led backs that are impossible to see in bright light. This makes picture composition iffy at best. If your subject moves it becomes a disaster. Trying to hold, compose, and centering the camera often does not work. The Elvid gives you a shot at getting the best shot.

My daughter is a professional photographer. I selected 4 different point and shot cameras and asked her to pick out the one she thought I should buy. She picked the Powershot. It's awesome, Not only does it take great pics but it is cute too.

great way to carry your Point and shot

I really enjoy the Ecobee Smart Cameras. The selling point for them was that they are HomeKit capabilities. The quality of the cameras are outstanding. They are sturdy and the picture quality is great.

When you need to be quite and cameras on the hunting trail to get the up close shot. Nothing like it.

Successfully used to establish reference white point for multiple cameras.

I owned several Point and Shoot cameras, and this is the best by far. A great value for a powerful camera.

It really set's up the color to a good starting point and help match cameras.

I bought this 12mm lens right before I took a trip to the Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur, CA. I wanted to use it for landscapes at Point Lobos. There are a few scenes there that can only be shot with an ultrawide-angle lens. For example, I shot a small cove called The Pit at Granite Point, Point Lobos; and I shot some trees at the Cypress Grove Headlands --- these shots are not really possible without an ultrawide. Very nice results! I was not disappointed. This lens got the job done. On a Nikon D800, I used it in aperture priority, and it worked beautifully. I programmed into the Nikon a 13mm f/2.8 non-CPU lens, and the camera recorded all information and displayed aperture and shutter speed in the viewfinder. It's a "dumb" lens, but you do not have to operate this lens in stop-down mode; the camera will stop down to the taking aperture for you --- no need to stop down to f/8, etc and compose through a dark viewfinder to take your photo. It worked just great. Sharpness? Excellent. All my other lenses are Zeiss ZF.2 or Zeiss Milvus, and this lens compares quite favorably to an 18mm and a 25mm I have as wide-angles. Excellent build quality, all metal, no plastic at all. The lens cap kept falling off, so I may make a leather one to fit around the outside of the lens hood before taking this lens out in the field again. And the lens produced a bit of flair when it faced some very challenging sunlight from the side; I placed my hand to shield it, and it was fine. Not a real problem. Overall, a very fine lens at a very good price. I am very glad I bought it. It was a lot of fun to use out in California.
