Last night, I dropped by the EP launch of the group Idela at Autonomy Bar in Mandaluyong City and tested my new HP S300. A point-and-shoot camera with some bridge camera functions. With a lot of scene functions, it promised tons of fun for casual photo hobbyist, but still doesn't fill the need for an amateur.
I tried to do some live gig photography with my camera. Its good to see that the photographers there are following the unwritten ethical code of conduct when covering an event, which is not obstructing the audience's view of the performers.

HP doesn't do well in dark light settings, as the ISO and shutter speed is still determined by the camera's CPU, which defeats the bridge camera-like properties.
