So, showcase some of the images that made you glad you had a point and shoot available.
a funny moment, a lovely scene, a remarkable object, some wonderful light, the list goes on and on.

Looking forward to your entries!

OK let me start this time.

Where I live, the temperature regularly goes above 100F (38-ish C) in summer, higher if you're on asphalt or desert, and walking during daytime for a long time is a dangerous activity. I guess it's even harder for small animals as they're much closer to the ground. Anyway, one day I walked out of a building and saw this guy using my car as a shade. I only had my cellphone with me, but I was glad I did even though the picture quality wasn't great! Shot with Nokia N8.

Congrats Bart and that's a good challenge, basics!

While getting gas I notice this scene in a backyard. Canon G5X/2

[Bart]

We're off to an excellent start already!

Great! Keep 'em coming

Here is a sequence shot with a Q-7 and a Cosmicar 50mm f1.4 lens @f2, 1/50, ISO 800 (cropped):







JFDR, Iceland Airwaves, 2018

A great little combo to have in your jacket pocket for concerts!

Taken on a quick day flight to Canberra and back in Feb last year with the then recently arrived Ricoh WG-6. Wouldn't have been interested in the attention and explanations a dslr may have entailed, this did fit in my pocket, and my bag was full;

[MiguelATF]

My tiny Ricoh GRii is super small - and so 'pocketable' that I find myself taking it with me, everywhere.
Which allows me, probably, to get pictures that I wouldn't have been able to, otherwise.

The first - a view looking south towards Mt. Shasta - from Mt. Ashland, on the Oregon side of the Oregon-California border, was taken when I went up to the mountain to go skiing for a few hours - but the Ricoh was small enough to put into a pocket.

The second was taken while walking up the small country road near my house, also in southern Oregon, looking towards the Cascades mountain range which run alongside the Rogue Valley where I live.

It's a tiny camera...but it always seems to take BIG pictures

During a trip to Jordan we went to Wadi Rum, with its fantastic landscapes. A sandstorm hit and made it pretty much impossible to photograph with my other cameras. I was glad I had a point and shoot, a weatherproof Olympus TG-4. It definitely saved the day!

Wonderful entries, everyone!
Right on theme.

Looking forward to more additions!

Love my point n shoot for shots like this. Only had seconds to capture this before the warning sign disappeared.

Pentax Q7 with Pentax #01 normal lens.

Thanks for looking,

iPhone shot while making time lapses. Mt. Shasta, today.

[RoxnDox]

Oh, what a gorgeous lenticular ‘flying saucer’ Shasta created for you!

While walking the dog I accidentally snapped this one with my phone. Turned out to be a keeper Samsung S6. By the way, great images everyone!

[Sam_I_am]

Just loved this shot from camping last summer. I can't remember if it was before or after I purchased a new phone. Either way it was a Samsung S9 or S20, at Crane Prairie reservoir.
