Here's one: Canon PowerShot A590IS. I use it on full manual, which disables the pre-flash so I can use a cheap optical slave-trigger. Works fine. > And that allows for apertures wider than f/4.

By using CHDK, I'm able to shoot RAW - altough it not that much of use on a P&S. > And supports continuous focus for tracking of moving subject in burst > mode. > > Oh... and that *has* a burst mode to speak of. Well, you got me here. OMG! A P&S without focus tracking and slower than 10fps. How could they possibly dare to sell something like this for as much as 170 bucks new?!? (<- irony) > Can you name a P&S that does all these things? Btw.: Can YOU name a DSLR, that one can easily shove into one's pocket (jacket, not trousers), weights under 250g (with lens) and costs under 170$ new? ;-) cu Michael

Remote flashes can be triggered by flash, right? No TTL metering though. > Never seen one with f/2.0. And if there is it would be more expensive > than my Canon 500D with a 50mm f/1.8.

Interesting perspective, I like that you did it with no flash. I met a guy doing travel photography, trying to make a living at it & managing OK from what I could tell. He used a P&S because he liked to travel obscure places in India & be unobtrusive. He had lots of nice work. Anything is possible. There are billions of stunning photos out there that a cell phone could capture.
