I received a Nikon P3 when I graduated college almost 6 years ago... yikes... can't believe that was almost 6 years ago!!!! Time flies... well no need to mention how slightly out of date that camera is now. It's still a great point and shoot for someone who wants good images but isn't a control freak like me. I find that my iphone has really become my point and shoot. The problem being the lack of control (even with the camera + app). I find taking photos of everyday, typically mundane things becomes interesting and fun when you use instagram. You get to put fun filters on them (which typically I'm against, I am a clean, simple processing girl when it comes to my own photography but when it's a cute photo of my dog in the tub covered in dirt it's fun to slap a little vintage style filter on it. As much as I'd love a few of the new flashy point and shoot cameras (some are even fancy these days and have interchangeable lens) I'm finding that with instagram I'm having fun taking photos with my phone and even if I can't control all the aspects that I want I'm still capturing the memories and that's really all that matters.
