It occurs to me that the relative inconspicuity of P&S cameras took a significant hit when they stopped putting proper viewfinders in them. At any distance less than 200 yards it's a lot easier to spot someone holding a P&S at arm's length than someone holding a DSLR up to his face. The guy with the DSLR could be picking his nose or putting on his sunglasses, but there's no mistaking the characteristic pose of the P&S photographer! Bob

All of my current P&S cameras have optical viewfinders though not for inconspicuity, but because they're just so incredibly useful especially in bright sunlight.

Thanks again, for proving, without a doubt, how utterly stupid and pathetic are those that choose and support DSLRs. It seems to never fail that the most ignorant and stupid of the poplution purchase DSLRs. Is it any wonder? Not to me.

We've already PROVED, without even one shadow of a doubt, that you don't even own ONE camera, of ANY design.
