What I wanted was something that was very portable, but still had a strong manual feature set. The point- and-shoot cameras are nice, but sometimes I like to be in control.
We have the Canon “Powershot G2”:http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canong2/ at school, so I’m used to how the Canons are set up (which is rather nicely). It takes gorgeous photos too, so Canon seemed to be a good bet. I find the G2 to be too big and bulky, though, so it and its upgraded brother the G3 were out.
After reading countless reviews and comparing countless cameras, I finally picked up the “Canon Powershot S45”:http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canons45/.
I’ll post back with a more detailed review in a week or so, once I’ve had a good opportunity to put it through some rigorous testing, but so far I’m very impressed. This is one sexy camera. I mean it’s sleek metal! It’s tiny in that oh-so-irresistable gadgety way that men find irresistable! It has lots of buttons, and you can customize it to make laser sounds when you take photos (not that I would, but damn, I could if I wanted to)!
This kind of rampant consumerism makes me feel greasy and just a bit guilty, in the way that giving into those exceedingly rare (but nigh-overpowering) cravings for McDonald’s french fries can make me feel. Oh well. You gotta get it where you can.
Expect the very under-developed “photography section”:/photos/index.php to see some updating soon.
I am a Camera
Alors - I just came into some extra dough from freelancing work I completed a little while ago, so I went out and upgraded my camera. I originally had a “Fuji Finepix 2600”:http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/fuji/finepix2600-review/index.html, which is a nice point-and-shoot digcam, but it’s pretty limited, too. My brother wants a digital camera, so I sold him my old one and bought a new one. Everybody happy!
