The new Camera's Arrived!

Well, my new camera is here and I’m starting a new learning curve. It’s a Cannon SX20 and, unbelievably, it comes without any instruction manual, other than for basic automatic picture taking. But I knew this before I bought so I’ve sent away for a “cheat sheet’ which should arrive tomorrow.

It’s a point and shoot with no provision for extra lenses but a 20x optical zoom and lots of options. There’s a Panasonic something which is almost identical, somewhat cheaper and, I think, a little better built. That would have been my choice except that the Cannon has a fully articulated viewer exactly like the one on the Konica Minolta which broke (the camera not the viewer). It’s just great for any situation where you’re not looking straight on at the subject.

Lately I’ve been building an album of pictures from our church in Port Hope. To check it out go to the “St. John’s” album on my Windows Live profile: http://cid-cad32cc041072c3f.skydrive.live.com/albums.aspx
