As I mentioned last week, Jen and I are in the market for a new digital camera. We just purchased the Canon PowerShot S50, a compact 5 megapixel point-and-shoot that also offers a wealth of manual controls. This camera is ideal for our situation since we love taking pictures at parties, on vacation, and the like, and I’m also interested in learning more about photography. From what I’ve read, this is a great camera for just that since it will allow us to use it both as an automatic and as a manual focus camera. All this in a compact body. I’ve read that it’s actually like the higher-end Canon G5 in terms of electronics, but compressed into a smaller casing.
It should arrive by Wednesday. I’m psyched.
(Thanks to Jentle and Mat for the recommendations and input.)
