New Camera

My new point and shoot camera has arrived - a Canon Ixus 80IS.



I am hoping this will help me capture some more candid moments for Project 365. I love my Canon DSLR (400D) but it isn't exactly unobtrusive or easy to carry in my pocket!

  1. I love my little P&S. I have considered upgrading to a DSLR, but I agree that it’s not exactly unobtrusive. I just through my P&S in my purse in the mornings and I have it with me for all those special moments! I hope you have fun with your new toy!!

  3. Congrats on your new camera. Yes, P&S are better for carrying around and I'll bet you'll get some great ones with it. The ones that you take with your DSLR are just fantastic!

    Have fun playing with it!

  5. I know what you mean. The DSLR is for in the house or outdoor trips, but the Point & shoot I keep in my purse with me all day long...you never know when there is a great moment to capture.

  6. I, too, felt the need to buy a little camera that is always in my purse! But I am always so upset by the shutter lag.....however, on the other hand, I have gotten some fabulous pictures with it.....it going off long after I had shot it, getting a much better action picture than I thought I was getting!
    Meanwhile....I am now getting the 40D and so excited. I bought a new camera bag from Best Buy that looks like a black purse, so I'm hoping I'll be taking my camera to more places!

  8. Very nice.

    I've a Fuji Finepix S7000 which is about as old as dirt. I'd love something like that. I agree it would definitely make it easier to get some candid shots, especially of Toots, she moves far too fast for my big ol thing.

  13. Oh I so agree, I want to get a point and shoot, so that it can live in my handbag! Lugging around the SLR isnt always helpful! Like today I would have loved to have one with me, we found a new playground! Oh well :)
