Re: anyone shoot w/a point and shoot?
My favorite is the Yashica T4. I like the Super Scope viewer on the top of the camera that allows waist level shooting. My other favorite is the Olympus XA. I mainly use slide film in this camera.

RE: anyone shoot w/a point and shoot?
YES... 10 or so years ago, I needed a camera I could throw in my briefcase while on business travel, for both business and personal use. I found a Samsung PS with the longest zoom I could find at the time (I think it is 28-105 but I don't have it in front of me). It has been bullet proof over the years and the lens is remarkably sharp up to 8x12 using 100 speed B/W film. To challenge myself, I somethimes go shooting using only one camera body and only one lens... forces me to make the best use of what I have available rather than rummaging through a couple of bags of stuff. Usually quite a challenge to maximize the picture while maximizing the assets of the lens/body combo, or minimizing its shortcomings. I have also done this with the Samsung with quite good results. I also keep it available for those quick shots when hauling out the rest of the gear is impractical or for inclement weather. Jerry in Houston - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

RE: anyone shoot w/a point and shoot?
Sure, I bought a Pentax IQ Zoom 120mi when my son refused to take an slr on a trip to Italy last year. It did very well, so I occasionlly carry it along when I don't carry one of my regular cameras, or my SO will carry it when I am shooting, just to snap a few pictures now and then.
