Compact cameras

While waiting for a few rolls of TriX to be developed and scanned, I borrowed my son’s compact for comparison. Its the Canon SD780 IS, an incredibly small camera with a decently wide zoom range (33-100mm 35mm equiv) close to my usual range with the Nikon D300.

Image quality is really quite good for such a small camera. It makes me wonder about whether I should consider one of the newer compacts as a carrying camera since my output is so low and I generally don’t have a camera with me unless I’ve gone out specifically to capture images.
