These are from Sony RX 100 PS on auto. It does adjust some but I can't figure it out, so I shoot auto.

From: Twenty-Six Roadkills

I shot about 35% to 40% of my Roadkill artists' book with the Sony and 1 shot from the cheap Kodak PS. It is in a umber of public collections round the world. From Oxford to Kandinsky to Yale to Art Center COD..

This one from cheap Kodak PS product shot.

You can compare them all here for pixel peepers. Film to 6 mp to 40mp. 35mm flatbed scanned color film is about 3 or 4 mp PS quality.

Camera Comparisons

Now there is no dispute that some cams are better than others for certain jobs. I use the best tools I can to get the shot.

But here is the bottom line...

A crappy photog will produce crap with any cam they have. A great photog will produce great photos with any cam they have. As long as the cam can produce something decent to start with, unless your looking for pin hole image quality.

Taken with a P&S, in 2007. The original you can see EYELASHES. I didn't know birds had eyelashes before I took this.

We have probably all heard that adage by now but let's put it to the test. Post your best picture using a point and shoot camera or a cell phone camera. No due date, no competition, just show us what you can do with limited gear.

Here is mine taken with a cannon s90 (in a waterproof case obviously):

Taken with a little 6mp pocket Canon, on auto with about 1 second to shoot. I was walking down from Penn Station, NYC to F.I.T. and the cab door opened and I was so grateful I had the little pocket camera in my pocket!
