Summary: Photography podcast #127 goes into why point and shoot cameras suck for learning photography. I actually rag on point and shoot cameras quite a bit in this podcast but it's because photography should be fun and learning photography on a point and shoot camera is rarely fun and almost never user-friendly. At the beginning stages of learning photography you need your camera to be user-friendly and it's nice when your camera can handle any shooting situation. Point and shoots are inferior to any new DSLRs when it comes to photographing things that move. Given that precious memories (that involve movement) like your child walking/running are missed with a point and shoot, it's an inferior tool. That lovely intro aside, I do recommend a few user friendly Point and shoots for photographers that are comfortable with a Point and shoot's limitations. They definitely are portable and can be handy in capable hands. Click the player at the end of this post to listen to (or download) the 13ish minute podcast.
