I second TomG's recommendation of the HX-80 as a great pocketable camera. My daughter got one a few months ago and she is very happy with it. She has been taking a lot of shots of birds on our feeders and they have been consistently good.
At the extreme telephoto end of the zoom range (720 mm equivalent) it loses a bit of sharpness, but not much.
It does lack RAW capture, but she doesn't do much PP other than cropping and contrast, so that hasn't been an issue.
Having a fixed aperture lens on a smartphone is the worst part of using a camera phone. Not having more flexibility in setting exposure and DOF is more limiting than the tiny sensor or lack of a viewfinder. This would be the same problem with a fixed aperture lens on an ILC.
An Olympus D-360L 1.3 MP.
Based on the front license plate, this must be a '53.
These shots are all great, but I really like #3.
I had an F3 in the late '80s - early '90s. Boy, do I miss that camera...
I had to swap it for a camera with auto-focus as my eyes were giving me problems, but everything about the F3 was top notch!
Enjoy it!

I think that the most amazing part of it is that the run is done in only 100 feet!
This is the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Thanks for posting!
My wife and I exited the church to "Ode to Joy" when we were married in 1972. Still love this piece of music (and my wife) :D
When I first started shooting with 35mm SLRs in the early '70s, I frequently wound up with little pieces of crud on the top of my focusing screen, which was sealed. This of course did not affect the picture but it was annoying. I solved this when I first got an Olympus OM-1 with interchangeable screens. I didn't HAVE to replace the screen, but I COULD just remove it and blow off the crud. I did buy a split image screen for it which I liked to use with the 50mm f 1.8.
My later film cameras (OM-2, Nikon F3 and Minolta 7000i) all had removable screens.
I'm gonna guess that they are Muslims and were trying to do it in accordance with Halal rules...

I agree. I've got an old Mark I with the long barrel that has to be the most difficult pistol in history to take apart for cleaning. A friend who repairs appliance and knows his way around machinery agrees; he has a new stainless Mk III that requires a rubber mallet to fully dis-assemble.
The Buck Knife company was started in 1902, after the days of the "early west." :P
