As above show me your best photos on your cheapest/worst camera. As I dont use a smartphone I tend to carry a cheap little canon Ixus 185 around with me. Takes acceptable pictures in decent light but falls apart once light becomes scarce. I carried it with me during our cornwall trip and managed to capture this snap of people jumping into the water at sunset on Bude Beach.

Show me yours. Don't forget to post the camera it was taken on.

(MOD EDIT - fixed your link for you - future reference, paste the BBCODE from flickr straight into the post, not into a media container.)

This is not the page you’re looking for.
 
Can't show it - it was on film and the neg is long gone! It was of Stonehenge silhouetted against a sunset, taken with a Kodak instamatic on Kodacolor Gold 400, using a cheap pair of shades as an ND filter.
 
probably this one - Spurn Point Lighthouse on the Pinhole Holga (fundamentally a terrible camera)

8 elephants at f/135 on Ilford Delta 100, souped in ilfosol 3,1+14 and scanned on my Canoscan 8800. Sorry, I've only a low-res version on flickr, but the original scan is of a suitable size to print out at about the size of a door...
 
The worst digital camera I've had was a keychain one and it was truly awful. The worst camera I still have is this little Medion 85173, front centre.

It's a really nicely designed credit card sized metal camera but the image quality leaves a lot to be desired particularly the colour / white balance which are frankly all over the place. I took to opening the jpegs as raws and processing them for best effect but sometimes converting to B&W is the only way to stop laughing.

I was looking through a box of prints some time ago and I found a print of this next one which I'd printed to fill an A4. I'd forgotten I'd printed it but looking at it again I was a bit shocked as it looks really nice and only people like us :D would nit pick it.

I saw an old Canon digital compact in a charity shop today for £3. I nearly bought it and actually now I wish I had.
