I'm a big fan of my mju-II, but there is one thing that pisses me off about it, there is no way to permanently turn off the flash, every time I slide the cover open I have to turn it off again. I might consider getting rid of one of my serious cameras in exchange for a contax t3.

I am so amazingly happy to have my Stylus back after it being gone (had mailed it to a friend as part of a failed Kodachrome project), I may never let it leave my side.

Using any sort of digital mat around a picture can easily be hokey, though it shouldn't, since matting and framing (or not) is important to print display.

For the sort of vibe I think is intended, darkening them overall, giving them real black shadows, and tweaking the colour balance to be slightly exagerrated are all things to try. Think of drugstore glossies before digital minilabs.

Does this weird old camera fall under the P&S category?



German Baldamatic 1 (1958 - 1962)

I can't even find any photos of anyone holding it to get a sense of how large it is. It looks like you can replace the lens but it's definitely no SLR.

I had the chance to pick one up today for $40 but the seller changed his mind, and decided to shoot a roll of film with it first before letting it go. :negative:

That is a scale-focus rangefinder(!!) camera with manual exposure control, so not at all. A point and shoot is auto or fixed focus with automatic exposure and frame advance.

Oh hey look what I found while cleaning out some boxes of crap, my old waterproof p&s from the 90's. I love this camera, just need to get some more CR123 batteries to see if it still works.



Make sure you check the seals before taking it underwater. I dug out our copy of that camera a couple years ago and ended up with a soggy pile of tri-x. :(

What? There is no zone focusing, the mju-ii is AF only. The only settings whatsoever are flash mode and date imprint.



I haven't used mine in a while, as I'm pretty done with 35mm, I should shoot my remaining b/w or sell it all probably.

Nah keep it. It's the best.

I ain't got no use for a 35mm p+s anymore, especially once I get a new phone next month...
e: I think I really am format-neutral finally, using my phone or my 5d or mju it's all the same except film is a real pain to get from camera to screen.

Naturas are cool as poo poo but a p+s that costs half the price of a miata. :psyboom:

I originally thought that was one amazing bewildering photo, but now I see that it is two good ones.

i'm being generous in the definition, if the lens is attached or its got a small profile its technically a point and shoot. Just want people to buy cheapish lil cameras and take pictures of their friends drinking

I don't think you know what technically means
