Today I was shooting with the Canon S5 IS, an "old" superzoom from back when superzoom still meant
8 megapixels and 12x zoom. This was kind of a test run to see what the camera could do before
I gave it up to my nephew in August in the Smokies. He's been shooting with a nice Sony point and click
for a few years now, and really enjoys photography, but he is convinced for now I guess that that means
you can get away with just having a good eye, which he does indeed. But this camera will give him at
least some idea of what shutter speed and aperture are and how they interact. I am hoping he will
embrace the tedium somewhat and use it til it falls apart. We'll see. As for my part, I like it a lot.
In fact in some ways I like it better than my SX1, but I had to have the 1080p video capability, or rather
I would never give that up. I think the images might be better at it's 8MP than at the SX1's 10MP.
By the way, I was having recall work done on my Chevy today and that is why it's mostly car pics.
The flowers were at Walmahrt down the street. It was a 2 hr wait.
MY GOSH, this camera rocks, lol...look at the color and the clarity of that sensor! Of course that's broad-
a55 daylight. (and hot, too) sheesh. But I like that little camera.
