[OM] P&S Justice??

I was just reading some specs on most p&s.  Most start at 1/250s!!  WOW.
Some show 1/300s, and some go to 1/500's.  I thought that was bad..  My
friend commented that is the same shutter speed, as a Hassy, so not a big
deal.  YES, but a Hassy 80mm starts at F2.8, not F8!!  My sister's p&s which
she took on her honeymoon in Bora Bora, all the shots came out blurry.  She
was UPSET!!  I looked at the specs of her camera.  1/250 and it started at
F5.6.  Upon closer inspection, I saw that it did up to F11, so she had only
3 choices, F5.6, F8, F11.  Actually, she had no choices, the camera decided
for her!  I noticed that because of the low quality lens, when I tried her
camera, it shot at like 1/30th (roughly) all the time...  I can't hold a
camera that steady without propping it if I'm shooting sub 1/60th...  So
it's no wonder most of the shots she had were horrible.  Add the fact that
the camera came with high quality ground PLASTIC lenses, and I don't
understand how she can act all surprised...

Of course the irony is, her camera costs more than my OM-1n with a 50mm..
