Point and Shoot Cameras

Point and shoot cameras are the most popular cameras found today. They range from £40 models which take decent but not brilliant photos, to £200 ones that produce stunning picture quality and are full of features. Point and click cameras are most commonly used by the average user for pictures on holiday or at events such as weddings. They are the cameras that are easily useable and accessible and this is what makes them so popular. Smartphones now have point and click cameras built into them and this is what has helped to fuel the rise of photographers. A list of developers of point and shoot cameras would be too extensive to show but some of the leading creators are Nikon, Canon and Fujifilm. Some point and shoot cameras can also be used for action based activities. The Fujifilm FinePix XP70 allows for underwater shooting and it is shock proof so children can use it without the fear of it breaking. This is a good example of the useability and flexibility of this type of camera as it allows the lech tech-savvy user to still take photos due to the one button functionality. Point and shoot cameras also have settings such as "low light" and "sunset" which attempt and often succeed in increasing the quality of the images in certain situations. Overall the point and shoot camera is an extremely useful as a basic camera for use in casual situations or on holidays. They allow even the most basic user to take good pictures and come at a low price point.

In my opinion point and shoot cameras are great for family holidays. The convenience of  quick shutter speeds and easy to use controls allows everyone in my family to enjoy taking photographs.
