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 In fact this point and shoot I used (A Canon A610) is a rather outdated and older Point and Shoot.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.

My point and shoot died some time last year, and I have only recently replaced that with a dSLR. I did manage to save some photographs from my old camera:

Can you post your pictures from a point&shoot camera? Just out of curiousity.
I've had a point&shoot camera before but it was a while ago and I didn't do much with it so I don't remember its capabilities. It was a really low-end one too, maybe some of you here has the more expensive ones?

EDIT - to clear up some of the confusion, I meant 'Can any of you post example pictures from P&S cameras?'

I'm pretty sure that some members (not many, but a few) shoot exclusively with P&S cameras and they have some great photos. Its mostly the photographer, although having a kick-ass camera does give one a head start

you can post photos from a camera phone if you want
nothing on the site says you must use an SLR camera - heck you can post film photos if they are scanned into a computer.

I think he's referring to PP Overread, lol.

huh?

Wow, it captures really sharp pictures close up.
This may be stupid question but does point&shoot allow you to choose the shutter speed? (Although I understand that it wouldn't mechanically do the same thing that shutter on SLR camera would do, maybe some of the P&S have the technology to replicate that effect?)

Deleted my other post. I can't figure out if the OP is asking if he is allowed to post P&S photos or if he is asking for people to post some examples of good P&S photos.

I meant examples lol sorry

I meant examples lol sorry

Oh...okay.. I'll try to post them back up then.

Here we go:

And to answer your question...mine had aperture priority and shutter speed priority modes. THe shutter speed mode was fairly flexible but the aperture would only let me vary in the range of about f3.5 to f8 which was somewhat limiting often times. The first photo I posted was in shutter priority set to around 10 seconds. Same with the second and third photos with around 8 second exposure length.

Depends on the quality of your P&S.. My Canon Powershot A620 allows me to select Manual mode and control every aspect of the picture..
