There is a new addition to my high tech gear – a Canon PowerShot SD950 camera. I am NOT a photographer, but I kept finding sights I wanted to remember, and with the camera on my phone having a resolution of 2 micro pixels, I needed something better.
Through the courtesy of a credit card company who shall remain nameless, and who has been charging me annual fees for years, I was able to obtain the camera using points long accumulated.
I had four primary selection criteria:
1) Easy to use (as stated above, I am NOT a photographer).
2) Small (I did not want to lug a big camera up mountains).
3) A real viewfinder (the LCD can be hard to use in bright light).
4) Did I say easy to use?
The SD950 had the above features and many more. The lens retracts back into the camera and is covered automatically when turned off, making the carrying size quite small. The LCD screen is large and works surprisingly well in bright light.
I give the SD950 high marks, so far. Stay tuned for pictures.
