A540 purchased as a camera for my wife, but we use it for impromptu situations, primarily. Darn thing eats batteries like a monkey through bananas.

I have an old Sony that I havn't used in a long while, and just bought the misses one of those new Olympus shock proof and waterproof jobs, it's also one of those super slim huge LCD screen camera that she likes. Good for her.

My first digital was a Sony DSC-717. Still a great P&S camera! But now that I have a 5D, it's probably not going to see any use by me....should probably sell it. My other digital camera is the SD600: having a small pocket camera can be convenient.

I wondered how many of you also have Point and Shoot Camera's aswell as your DSLR...Also which one?

Oh yeaaa, Oly 8080WZ, when released they were $999. I picked mine a year later for $479 :cool: . It has been my vacation camera the last 2 years but may get replaced with the 30D.

I always used to have a p&s camera for parties or when I didn't want to lug my DSLR and lenses around. However, I really don't have a use for one anymore. Even still, if I go out, my girlfriend always carries her p&s with her, so I can just use hers if need be.

Before she started using my D60, my wife bought a Canon A70. Now it just sits and collects dust. I don't know about the P&S digitals now, but ones like the A70 are useless. The puny little viewfinder shows 90% or less of the actual image and when the LCD screen is used (to get the entire image in the frame) it blanks out just before the picture is taken so you have no idea if the framing is right or not. These cameras should be called POS instead of P&S...

And don't get me started on camera phones...

Have a A75 PowerShot that I carry with me when I go to work. That way I can go out and check some sites, then go back with the DSLR later.
It's a great little camera and have gort some great shots with it.

Ixus 50 user here, it's small enough that it can always be on my person, means I can avoid ever touching the camera on my phone

Well, not really P/S cameras, but more like compacts. I have my Nikon 8700. That one goes all over the place with me as it is small, light and , well compact. I also have a HP850 as my "abuse the crap out of it" camera. It takes a beating. It has even rolled down a mountainside, about 200 feet bouncing the whole way and still workd flawlessly.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

A620 as an upgrade to the A80 (which my father now has) for increased video clip length. It gets used along with the DSLRs in addition to coming along with me as a small, handy camera for the rest of the time.

Wife took the SD700IS, so I had no choice but to get myself a G7. :)

I use it in lieu of my 5D-based kit to have a camera for every day and business travel.
