From: George Sinos
No such luck on the Pentax P&S. I went through four Optio series
cameras. All wore out due to small broken parts except the OptioMX
and they are too cheap to fix. Or should I say it's too expensive to
fix them. The optioMX is cool in an odd sort of way, but the image
quality, good for it's day, isn't all that great. Even if it dies,
I'll keep it around. With it's odd shape it may be a collectors item.
I had a lot of fun with that camera.
This photo was shot with an "old" Canon S90. They've come out with
two or three improved versions since I bought it, but this one seems
to do well most of the time. When you're in extreme conditions like
the dance recital you can't enlarge the photo much. The grain at 1600
or above is the size of small pebbles.
As much as I hate to ask this ... my Canon A60 is getting a little long
in the tooth.
I think Canon was the last brand to still manufacture a compact P&S
camera with a *REAL* viewfinder. Does anyone know what that last viewfinder
equipped Canon P&S was?
Or other suggestions for a compact P&S with a viewfinder?
Could be an electronic viewfinder for all I care, as long as I don't
have to hold the damn thing out at arms length to try and compose a
photograph on the little TV screen on the back.
