Help me find a point & shoot!

[real_liiva]

If your definition of point and shoot lies on how the camera will automatically choose the right exposure for you and also auto focus on the subject, I could give you several suggestions that match your budget criteria:

1. Olympus Mjuii
2. Canon Sure Shot supreme
3. Nikon lite touch AF zoom
4. Pentax Espio

Or you can just go to your closest thrift store, they usually have one in the inventory.

One thing about point and shoot is most of them are the same. They are all dependent on their electronics and often times the only thing that differentiates them is their lenses, be it focal length, or how fast it is. The idea of having a point and shoot is to expedite the the time that you spend setting up the camera so that you won’t miss that “decisive moment”. Since they are all mostly electronics, somehow think of them as disposable. Once they break, wellp thats it. So in my honest opinion, it doesn’t matter which one you get. Don’t over complicate your selections, just go get a cheap one from ebay or your nearest thrift and start shooting!

Cheers,

Mju II gues for more than 200 these days (300+) unless you get it from a clueless seller/thrift store for like 25$. Theres no in between pricing

Dude saw people suggesting 1.5kg SLRs and split?

And I now wonder why...

Plastic rebel body with 40mm pancake lens is way less than 1.5kg (580g for my 300x with pancake and strap and film) but still by no means pocketable. Although i'm lucky to have pockets at all lol. But it will probably give you technically better images than literally any point and shoot out there. After all, the 40mm pancake is quite modern glass designed for the sharpness needs of digital. Came out in like 2012 afaik.

I use a Nikon N6006 which are really cheap. You can set them on Auto and shoot away or later use manual modes. It has a flash and accurate shutter. Get one with a zoom lens. Cheap but very verstile.
