What's your P&S??

[Illegally_Alive]

Maybe it's just me, but I don't always carry around an SLR everywhere I go. I do however try to carry around a little point and shoot for those "OMG I NEED A PICTURE OF THAT!!!!!" moments.

So the question what's your carry everywhere camera?

P.S. I don't have a digital one yet, hence this post.

If it wasn't for the lags, I may have not bought the 300D.

G-5 here. Since this camera has a non removable fixed lens, it's my camera of choice when I go four wheeling in dusty environments, and small enough to bring when I hang out with my friends in the T-Bucket Street Rod club. There just isn't much room for a bigger kit in one of those. :shock: Also, I consider the photo quality of a "G" series camera to be very good. :D

[HJMinard]

G1. It sort of became my wife's when I purchased the DRebel, but I still use it when I wish to "travel" light. Excellent camera ... I've always been very pleased with it's capabilities.

[ssim]

I try to take my SLR with me as often as possible but I always have my Canon S50 in my briefcase with me.

It has allowed me to quickly snap that picture that you might not have gotten otherwise.

You can't argue with that. Loved my G3.

No, You really cant, and I think the G-3 and G-5 had the exact same lens.

[DeeplyDigital]

MINOX DC 3311

The most amazing shutter-lag, but razor-sharp pictures
as a reward. Like an L-Lens.
I take it along for snap shots of things I want to get to back later.

It is a hand-me-down and died after a bit over a year. I sent it to Minox
in Germany who told me it had a 2-year international guarantee (!!!).
They exchanged it and I got to keep it as my friend had bought a Canon in the meantime.

Tell me more, Please. Is this a current model? I may have to do a search for it. :wink:

I'll get it right eventually...

[CoolToolGuy]

I have a G3 in the car where its handy. I bought my daughter an A70, and my wife has an A80, so I usually always have something to use if I need it.

Have Fun,

[johneo]

Not really a camera to put in my pocket and in fact almost as big as my 10D but compared to my 10D camera bag with all the lenses and "stuff" I usually carry my Sony Mavica FD-97 around. Don't use it as often as I thought I would but at least I always have a camera in the van ... just in case!

[Belmondo]

Add me to the list of G5 owners. It fits perfectly in the center console of the truck and is always there whenever I need it.

[CyberDyneSystems]

I decided if the occasion calls for somethin truly portable.. then why compromise portability?

When quality is the issue.. it's going to be a big SLR.. so I dod not try for "The best of both worlds"

I simply wanted the most portable CF capable Canon I could get.

S400 8)

[Ronin]

I use a Rebel myself and carry it just about everywhere in my car but if I really wanted something lighter, I have a A80 that my dad usually uses.

[timmyquest]

I was once quoted as saying "There are two things i do not leave home without, my guitar, and my camera".

They are truely with me (in my truck) at least 75% of the time...you never know when you will need or wnat one, and that time you dont have it...you know how that goes.

P&S's are just too annoying for me to use, i've owned one...i sold it.

[eric1]

G5 for me too.

[jgbeam]

gee three

[roanjohn]

g3 and s400.

I love them both!!!

:lol:

That reminds me of my first Car.. I got it dring the "Big Bang" early years of the Cars that go Boom.. mid 80's

It was a 1968 Buick WildCat Convertible.. 430CI engine.. and a mint interior... and wjhile all the imported Turbo drivers were stuffing amps and woofers in there trunks..

What did the wildcat have?

.5 Watts of whopping Motorolla power Baby!!!! (AM only of course!)

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[mdude85]

I probably have one of the few Nikon P&Ss on here ... Coolpix 2200.

[aam1234]

gee three

Ha ha, that's the best response I've heard to the question.

And G3 is really a super cam. I owe her leading me to photography again

[cmM]

Nikon Coolpix 2100
And a Canon Elph (APS Film), but I don't use this one as much. I got some cool shots with it though, before I had my rebel or any other digital cams.

[aam1234]

cmM,
Those Da bears photos were taken with which cam?

[cmM]

cmM,

with my SonyEricsson camera phone :P

No, j/k, they were taken with my 300D

[aam1234]

No, j/k, they were taken with my 300D

I don't know why I thought they were taken with D70. Maybe b/c of BB, he is also Da Bears fan. Too many of them here if you ask me. Go 9ers.

[DocFrankenstein]

S1 IS... that's my papparazzi camera. :wink:

[neil_r]

Canon PowerShot S70 (+ 40 m waterproof case).

[thomascanty]

My Canon S330 is always in the car's glove compartment, just in case. Other than that, I usually have my Olympus C-8080WZ around if I'm not carrying the 10D.

[Tapeman]

Leica Digilux 1.

Nice big LCD (2 1/2") I don't have to put on my reading glasses most of the time.

[sdommin]

My P&S is a Canon 10D. :?

My primary cameras are the Leica D2, Canon G3, and (soon) Canon G6. :lol:

[rsnadel]

S400 for true portability...and occasionally the Pro1.

[Quinn Porter]

G3 for me, but I've got my eye on the Sony T1 because of its true pocketability.

[EoSD30fReAk]

i always have an s200 or an s230 with me and i also carry around a G2 occasionaly

when i want to have some fun on the beach i always bring my Powershot S20 with me because i don't care if it dies because of sand or water :lol: :wink:

[samdring]

dring the "Big Bang" :lol: :lol:

Excuse me - my new moniker?

[Conk]

Mine is my A40 but I never use it anymore. I always take the D-Rebel. If I can't take that I won't take anything. I can't settle for 2 megapixels. I might just as well have a camera phone.

[mikeg]

S410 (IXUS 430) for me :)

[Cadwell]

I'm supposed to have a P&S too? Oh merde... more money :cry:

[DocFrankenstein]

[Jyoti]

I've been through a few but my current P&S is the Sony DSC-V1 (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydscv1/). I take a lot of snaps when I'm out clubbing and hefting a 10D round my neck cramps my moves. Man.

The Sony also saved my arse at a very dark Shins gig (http://www.bzangygroink.co.uk/phpgallery/Shins) where I couldn't take my 10D + flash. The IR mode came to my rescue.

I've also had a Canon A60 and I'd say that was better in low-light / nightclub conditions than the Sony. I miss that little cam!

[EXA1a]

IXUS 500. It takes CF cards.

[Andy_T]

My P&S is a G2.

I take it with me almost everywhere, mainly ... because I don't have a DSLR yet :?

Best regards,
Andy

[chartbin]

S400. Small and sexy

[SWPhotoImaging]

I still have my S40, although I have only taken three pics with it since I got my 10D in Oct. '03.

I don't even carry it regularly, since my "real" camera bag goes everywhere I go.

[xuxu1]

Very similar here. I too have a G5 with which i am very very satisfied. The only difference between Bruce and me .... He got his DSLR first. I got the G5 first and then bought the 10D.

Ed

LOL! I was shooting an Olympus E-10, but had lenses waiting for my Canon DSLR. Once the 10D was in the bag, I couldn't let it be lonely for it's little Brother, now could I? :roll: :D
-Bruce

[Alexandre Gabriel]

G3, the best non-DSLR I played with.

My non P&S is a non-D SLR :wink: the EOS 30.

[LittleG.]

Ixus 500. It's really compact and takes great shots. I actually tried the Pro 1 and sent it back before I finally settled on the Ixus 500.

[ChrisN]

Well, my P&S used to be the S50, but now that my wife has effectively taken over that as her own, my answer to this question is the following.

P&S camera = Digital Rebel in P mode
non-P&S = Digital Rebel with Battery Grip in Manual Mode

:D

[abel]

i carry a s400 everywhere when i dont have my 10d readily available...

i never find myself with out a camera. u just never know when youll need one.

[Pef]

I use a digital Ixux I.

Very small & light, fixed lens for good quality.

I use it a lot to take photo of slide presentation at conference !

[br3w0k]

mine is Canon G3 ....
its the legend, right ? ... :lol:

[theoldmoose]

I still have my Nikon Coolpix 4500, but it was originally designed to be my 'poor man's digital SLR', and has been gathering wool while I use my 300D and new Canon glass.

My wife and daughter each have Minolta Dimage X series cameras -- and I'm jealous. They are so tiny you can carry them with you *anywhere*. I guess I'll have to get something like that for myself -- heaven knows, I can't pry theirs from their fingers anytime soon.

ECHO all of the above .. S400 just cos it fits so easily in my pocket :lol: :lol: :lol:

[rudrasen]

I sold my gee three ( mistake)
So i bough the A95 coz it cheap , light but not miniscule like the S410/S500.
Best of all it has the 1.8" flip LCD which i miss most about the G3.
Unlike the G3/G5/G6 it can fit in my pocket.
But it usually sits in my wife's purse :-) , that way i free to blame her for missing that fantastic/rare photo. :wink:
It offer movie modes. handy for my baby
:)
http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/psa95/001-e.html

It complements my 10D well,
as it can do wierd angles shooting ( flip & twist LCD) camera
+ my wife camera ( hates the 10D dimensions & wt)
+ take along camera ( lies in her purse)
+ underwater camera ( will order the housing soon)
(The G series does not have the underwater casing.)
We love swiming & the outdoors. This accessory will be so handy :)

The only thing i hate is the lack of shoe mount for external flash . :(
Overall I am happy due to the price ($340) , weight (8.3oz.) & form factor (4.0 x 2.5 x 1.4in.).

[MikesJo]

olympus c5050. :)

Out of curiousity, how do you like the C5050? I was tempted to buy one before I got the G-5.
-Bruce

[Cobra351]

Although I'm new to the DSLR field I still use my G3 for a lot. Great little camera that goes almost anywhere quite easily.

[Andy_T]

I'm supposed to have a P&S too? Oh merde... more money :cry:

Of course ... otherwise, how will you take photos of your DSLR gear in order to post it on the forum :lol:

Best regards,
Andy

[Ogrt48]

Mines the Canon A70.. I loved it when I got it in May, I was moving up from a Kodak DC3200 (1.3mp) camera. I got a rebel about 2 months ago and now I can't stand the A70.. It's photo quality just sucks ^_^

[psychedelic_never]

Did i mention that a A60 dragged me into this photography addiction. It was just a birthday gift from a friend of mine, I wonder if he had plans to ruin me :twisted:. I still have the A60 just in case but generally its always my DRebel and 50 f/1.8
