There have been some very interesting threads, which introduced photographers who use compact cameras. I am very interested in such information and thought, there should be a thread about this. Please feel free to participate and introduce great photographers, who use compact cameras in a serious way.
I want to start with Alex Majoli, whose biography can be found here. Alex Majoli was named Magazine Photographer of the Year by the National Press Photographers Association and received the Overseas Press Club's Feature Photography Award for his images of the war in Iraq and in the Congo. He used an Olympus C-5050 for the submitted photographs he got both awards for.
An extremely interesting article about him is this: Alex Majoli points and shoots. This is one of the most interesting articles about point and shoot cameras I have read. There was an interview on The F Blog some time ago (Part 1, Part 2). There was a very short, but interesting interview in the magazine Professional Photographer.
