Maui on a Point-and-Shoot

It's a predicament that we maui Photographers face whenever we take some time off: "Do I take my DSLR or a simple to use camera?" To be straightforward, I have fallen on either side of this fence in the past yet most as of late I decide in favor of taking a littler camera on an extended get-away.

Here are simply the inquiries I normally pose?

1. Will I possibly be making divider prints of these picture? On the off chance that truly, that is a point for taking the DSLR.

2. Will I be conceivably selling any of these pictures as stock? In the event that truly, that is a point for taking the DSLR.

3. Will I need to convey this camera on my individual for the greater part of the excursion? In the event that truly, that is a point for taking the simple to use.

4. Will I be in circumstances where I will possibly harm my camera (water, outrageous residue, unstable climbing, and so on)? On the off chance that indeed, that is a point for taking the simple to use.

5. Will I must assistance the children out with heaps of exercises? On the off chance that truly, that is a point for taking the simple to use.

So truly, it took me composing this full scale to understand that I most likely would possibly take my SLR in the event that I figured I may print divider craftsmanship or selling stock. I typically take my simple to use to Disney World yet I took a DSLR to Yosemite. Be that as it may, even with the Yosemite circumstance, I took my littler DSLR alongside an exceptionally lightweight economical Tamron long range focal point. Why? In view of focuses 3 and 4 above. I realized we would do a great deal of climbing (and I would need to convey the heaviness of the camera sack the entire time) and I realized it would be an extremely dusty and filthy condition. I truly would not like to hazard harming my increasingly costly camera and focal points.

This past March, my family was making a beeline for Maui. Signal up the previously mentioned quandary: Which camera would it be a good idea for me to take?? I picked to go the simple to use course for this excursion. I really wound up taking two point and shoots. The first is a shockproof, waterproof Nikon simple to use, model AW-110. The AW-110 is a quite fundamental simple to use, robotized with a couple of scene modes, yet the favorable position is that I can drop it both on the ground or on in the pool and it will endure. Reward!

The other camera I took is the Nikon P7800. The P7800 has a couple of cutting edge includes that are very decent. It has the majority of the standard programmed and preset scene modes yet it additionally has manual mode. It can shoot in crude organization so I could have more scope with altering. It additionally has a 20-200mm focal point that is f2-4. An or more for me as a Nikon DSLR shooter is that the controls on the P7800 look simply like the controls on the greater Nikon cameras.

Here is a size examination of the Nikon D700 SLR with 20-120 f4 focal point (since that is my most utilized universally handy focal point), the Nikon P7800, and Nikon AW110.

Furthermore, look at those P7800 controls, Nikon shooters. Look recognizable?

I wound up utilizing the AW110 a lot. Since it's a waterproof camera, I had the option to bring it into the pool and sea to get submerged shots like these.

In any case, I found that another incredible use for the AW110 were where I would have been remaining in or close to the water, not really under the water. I didn't stress at all over dropping this camera or getting it wet.

We found a magma tube that the waves were colliding with. The floor of the cylinder was wet and there was pooled water at the opening nearest to the sea. To get into this cylinder, we expected to hunch down and creep, at that point remain back up.
