new cam

Canon Powershot SX100 IS

jx’s new camera. which jh is using for the moment. yay it’s got image stabiliser, yay it can take nice photos of long distance zooms and low light. jx likes the 1 cm macro, which i think is insane.

the 8mp ups file sizes to 3.5mb though, but 570 pics on 2gb seems alright. the pop-up flash is fun to play with, the spring better to reliable though.

turned on and with lens extended

that rotating wheel/button is fun, it also does left-right-up-down. and now there’s only a view-picture-button, just press shoot button to go back into picture taking mode. one less redundancy.

here’s a photo actually taken using the camera

a little glass bell, from venice

i am so going to flood the hard disk. i have a feeling im going to need 2-300 gb of space. the last trip i already used like 50 gb.

pity the continuous mode is only 1.3 fps, compared to my old one of 2 fps. it’s useful for those shots of ppl jumping in midair.
