Can Point & Shoot Cameras Produce Great Photos?


Yes, they can!

This past week, I spent three days downtown with my family and we photographed everything with a Fuji F10 point and shoot camera. This was one of the first shots taken this past weekend and as you can see, it's pretty good for a point and shoot camera.

It seems everyone has a digital camera these days. I recently asked my nephew Aaron how many photos he's taken since getting his digital camera. He didn't know, but he said it's in the thousands. That's typical. With film cameras, people were very conservative about what they photographed because the cost of development and the cost of film were the prohibiting factors. Today, with the ability to store data on hard drives and on CD-R or DVD-R discs, there isn't a good reason not to shoot something!

If you haven't gotten a digital camera yet, go out and get one. You'll find after you get one, you'll want a larger hard drive... and perhaps a CD-R or DVD-R burner!
