In this day and age where digital SLR are the craze and the entry-level units are becoming cheaper, people are starting to drop the point-and-shoot and move up. They’re still here to stay though.
Our poll for this week is — which point-and-shoot camera are you still using?
- Sony
- Canon
- Samsung
- Kodak
- Pentax
- Panasonic
- Leica
- Casio
- Olympus
- HP
- Fujifilm
- Nikon
- Vivitar
I personally own an Olympus 1050 SW and a Canon Ixus 80 (both of which I very rarely use). I also use a Samsung T100 and a Sony TX1 for review purposes. I have my eyes set on the Sony Cybershot TX5 though. Despite owning a dSLR, I’m looking at a range finder camera for rugged use (more likely for underwater shooting).
I’ve added the new poll on the right side of the navigation bar but you can leave a comment to share which specific model you currently use.
In this day and age, most of us don’t need separate camera because smartphone like samsung i8910 has good quality cam already. 8mp wl high definition cam len can produce quality pics. So, you can save money & besides convergence is buzzword these days. Smartphone is all-in-one device and we always carry around while dslr cam is very incovenient and hassle for us.
Canon s90. Looks good. Think manly ixus.
Used a canon s60 with underwater Canon housing to 120ft underwater. The camera worked. The housing worked. The photography didn’t. Like anything else in photography; gear is one thing, skill is another

I’m using a sony CyberShot DSC-W55, which I rarely use. Still trying to learn the full potential of a Canon 50D.
If you want a compact camera that has a DSLR feature, you can go for what they call hybrid like canon G11 or the new Samsung TL500, which at first glance looks like the Canon G11… hmm…

I have my kodak 1085IS…yun lang kasi pwede kong bilin pero ok naman yung mga shots HD na din naman sya.
I like the dSLR kaso wala pang budget kaya sa point and shoot muna ako nag mamaster..

Sony DSC-T300 owner. It’s been with me for I think two years.
I can’t bring my Nikon d60 everytime so I rely mostly on my Sony T9. Very handy. Could shoot video as well for those casual moments. For macro shooting, I rely on a very old Olympus C-750, circa 2004 camera. It’s only 4megapixel but it shoots supermacro. Can bring the camera lens an inch close to the subject. That would do until I get a macro lens for my D60.
sony w300. takes excellent photos and i’ve thrown it and dropped it but it still works and nary a scratch on it’s titanium body.

thanks alot!
I don’t know if this is true for everyone..but it’s really not the camera..it’s the one taking the pictures..^_^
I use a canon powershot a1000is..still not a high end point and shoot cam but i can still produce photos that are dslr like.
it all comes down on how you maximize the potential of your handy-dandy digital cam ^_^
though i’d still go for nikon when it comes to dslr..have a d60 for special events ^_^
i’m searching for a nice dslr not more than 40k what’s the best dslr for beginners that you can suggest to me so far. i do have my pentax point and shoot and its good also. i want a pentax slr but i’m looking for something comparable or way better than pentax.
