I work with some heavily technologically advanced cameras when doing my regular nature imagery. For family events like my daughter’s birthday party today, I found myself fumbling with a point-n-shoot little digital camera. I’m used to having to deal with a large array of camera options and controls in a rather manual style. I take control of the camera and everything is fine. With these little point-n-shoot jobs I feel like I’m wrestling with the camera to gain control of it. By the time my daughter finished opening her gifts I was finally in control and making pictures that were well exposed. It’s not that these small cameras can’t be coaxed into creating some fine imagery, it’s just that when camera designers think they are making things easier to use, they are almost always harder, at least for me.
