Movement with a Point and shoot.

[RMThompson]

On another thread, someone dared me to capture movement with a point and shoot.

So here is a collection of photos I had already captured with a Point and Shoot with moving images.

This goes into the argument that a Point and Shoot can't be a decent camera, and I feel that it CAN. In fact this point and shoot I used (A Canon A610) is a rather outdated and older Point and Shoot.

The key is knowing how to control the camera. This one had it's own version of "Manual" mode, and even had aperture priority setting. It has a 5 Megapixel camera.

I don't use the PnS much since getting my DSLR, but I still like this little camera and what it can do.

Good collection - one that ought to go into the Photo Themes thread on "Nice photos taken with a P&S", where everyone can go and look and see and learn that even the compact digital cameras are capable of taking good photos - and more so once the user is capable of using such compact camera.

There's a thread like that? I'll have to go look for it...
