Those one use cameras do have lenses like F11.  They basically work by
having a wide angle lens and a small aperture set at hyperfocal distance.
Since they have such a small opening, they compensate with a powerful flash
for dim settings.  You can get decent pictures outside in bright light and
remember the camera's limitations, but forget about it indoors.
