Agreed, as long is it is clear that adjustments must be made when the 
conditions change. So, based on the explanation given, my statement 
stands: ALL cameras can be *used* as point and shoots, not just the 
Realist.

BUT in the Stereo arena - for normal "snapshot" situalions, the stereo camera
becomes more point-and-shoot than it's flat counterpart, and that is in the
area of FOCUS. Set the hyperfocal distance AND LEAVE IT THERE. And even the
light won't change significantly under most P&S situations. OK, so a cloud
goes over the sun. Wait until it passes, and not only will you not have to
change any camera settings but you'll also get a better picture :-) :-) :-)

For what it's worth, I virtually always check the settings on my Belplasca
when I start sightseeing (or whatever) and just leave them there. So should
this thread be "Bob's Belplasca as P&S" ???
