Scream And Fly
09-03-2007, 04:02 AM
I've been looking for a very small digital camera that I can take anywhere with me, which will becoming very useful for a 'weblog' section I'll be adding to the site. Sort of a 'behind the scenes' section for Scream And Fly.
Anyway, I wanted something very small, but of course, I needed great image quality. After a lot of research, I purchased the Canon Powershot SD1000 (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=145&modelid=14901). This tiny little camera impresses the heck out of me. 7.1 megapixels, good 3x zoom lens, very fast and accurate focusing, and instant startup time. Above all of that, it takes fantastic photos - sharp and vibrant with good noise characteristics for a small-sensor camera. I'm not so sure I would use this for any sort of action photography, but I'll see what it can do anyway just for fun. I really could not be more pleased with it. I'll post some quick image samples shortly.
