Point and Shoots Can Serve a Purpose

I didn't have a chance to create a post yesterday, because I was out with some of my lovely friends. As much as I hate missing a day blogging, I couldn't resist hanging out with these ladies. You can't blame me though. Though I had my DSLR, I left it in the bag and pulled out my point and shoot instead. Point and shoots have many disadvantages, but they have some very compelling advantages: 1. Easy to carry 2. Simple to operate 3. Non-threatening Because a point and shoot is easy to carry, I can take it anywhere. Because it is simple to operate, I'm more likely to use it, especially when I'm inebriated. I'm also more likely to ask someone to help take a photo with me in it. Because it is non-threatening (compared to a DLSR), I can take photos with it around people without them being suspicious of me. In certain situations, e.g. hanging out in a crowded bar, I definitely prefer having a point and shoot over a DSLR.
