I bought a new camera today…it’d been a while. It’s a Canon PowerShot S100. It’s the best P&S I’ve ever owned, bar none.
The real reason for the purchase can be boiled down to GPS. On my long bike trips I have a hard time remembering exactly where I made this image or that. In Iowa, for instance, one cornfield looks much like the next. Unless I’m actually in a town or can find a sign it’s hard to know; was I 10 miles from X or only 9?
So here you have it, a new camera.
The S100 feels like a professional camera. It’s solid and feels nothing like a cheap plastic P&S. You can tweak pretty much every setting you want. It’ll shoot RAW, it’ll geotag the shots, it’ll…well you get the point.
I also decided to upgrade my Lightroom and Photoshop software today so it ended up being a rather expensive day. Sigh.
Still I love photography (whether or not I’m any good), so it’s money well spent.
More photos to come of course.
Aloha!
