Took some shots with these two little guys today. Both truly pocketable cameras taking decent pictures.

I tried to capture the same scene with both cameras, but honestly, this is not a great sample of what these cameras can do.
(First image is from the Sony, second from Olympus).

The Sony DSC-L1 is rather capable at handling difficult light (a mix of natural and artificial, like in the first photo) and has a good auto white balance (the lighting in the second photo looks very similar to what I was seeing).

The Olympus FE-250, like all the (many) Olympus cameras I own, delivers very nice colours.

By the way, I was lucky to grab these before the YouTube- and Instagram-fuelled ‘digicam frenzy’ manifested in full force. I paid about €30 including shipping for the Sony, and just €8 for the Olympus…
@morrick huh, I had no idea these are in high demand now. I looked up "digital camera" on our most popular classifieds website and let's just say this selection with these prices is odd. It seems like some people are aware of the frenzy while others are just selling off their old stuff
(1€ is around 90₽)

@morrick now I'm curious if the pictures these take look exactly like I imagine something taken with a 2000s digital camera
