I have a Canon AE-1 in a friend's basement (hardly remember using it).

Since my DSLR is in for repairs now, I pulled out the 8-year-old Olympus 
C3030 (3.3MP P&S). Egads I could not see what I was doing on the LCD! I 
don't know how I ever used that thing. I had no idea what I captured 
till I got home. This was around noon in a sweaty hot meadow but still. 
I did take some ground level shots across wildflowers that would have 
been difficult with an SLR.
