wstotler Posted June 21, 2007 Share #41 Posted June 21, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Heh--unless of course you put a 21mm or 15mm lens on it, put it at f8, set the ISO to 640 and put it on "A" This is EXACTLY what I did with the CV 15 in London so my wife could use the camera effectively. "Digital Snappy" in that case--she was quite pleased with the results! So, yes, in that case it CAN be a P&S, which isn't a bad thing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reason for starting this thread was to relate a funny incident with a woman in her 50s and her reaction to being handed a digital RF camera. And to point out to those who haven't visited places like DPR what kinds of nonsense are bring tossed around about our lovely cameras! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdos2 Posted June 21, 2007 Share #43 Posted June 21, 2007 It's just the Contax G1/G2 users having their revenge for being called "glorified P&S's." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giordano Posted June 21, 2007 Share #44 Posted June 21, 2007 I've been enjoying this thread. I was perfectly happy with my D200 except that it's too big (to fit in my computer bag, to be inconspicuous, etc.), so decided to supplement it with a really good digital P&S. There doesn't seem to be such a thing, but the M8 comes closest. (The fact that I've used Leicas since I was a teenager was totally irrelevant. Totally, do you hear me?)
