I keep trying to forget the 110's. Awful things. I got one to take skiing. It was flat and thin and I figured if I fell on it I wouldn't break a rib. So I'm safe and I have dozens of lousy ski pictures of my wife and kids.An M6 is sort of overkill for a P&S, but if you have one, why not? I'm more after keeping the weight and bulk down. The Nikonos doesn't do well in the weight department either. I tried carrying a Pentax ME Super with a 35 mm lens as a classy P&S, but then I wanted filters, and a flash, and well, gee it has interchangeable lenses, so let's throw in a 100 f/2.8, and maybe the 28, and....gosh this bag gets heavy by the end of the day! At least with a P&S I'm not tempted to add a lot of stuff.
By 1988 or so the better 35 mm P&S models were pretty decent. Like the Nikon L35AF. I bought those for my two daughters, and they were so sharp I bought myself one. We took a Caribean cruise the next year, and my wife's Ricoh TF-500D with 35 & 70 mm lenses (not a zoom) got consistently better pictures than my Minolta Maxxum 7000i. After we got the pictures back I traded the Minolta for a used Nikon FE-2, and bought a second Ricoh for myself. I've been using one P&S or another ever since. Currently, I have 8 of them. We're going on a cruise around Cape Horn next week, so the Nikon SLR and 4 P&S are making the trip. Most of the time, it'll be the P&S that get used. The SLR is going primarily for shots of the wildlife we hope to see. For that, a P&S just won't do.
