I am really excited this week, because we bought a new digital camera! I finally bit the bullet and bought the Canon Powershot S3 that I had my eye on for the last few months. The price dropped $150 from previous, so I figured that gave me the perfect excuse to get the camera AND the .75X wide angle lens.....
I've griped to anyone that will listen how much I would like a wide angle lens to capture Idaho's broad landscapes, and then I saw Derek's excellent use of the wider angle on people too and I knew it was the next big thing. But I couldn't afford the Right SLR, and it's too big and bulky for day to day shooting anyway, so that's when I focused in (no pun intended) on the next size down. The only drawback is no support for RAW, but I guess that just gives me something to look forward to in a few more years when the new camera suddenly turns old.
It's an odd phenomenon with technology, to have this device that we just had to have and loved so dearly suddenly morph into something that is clunky, too big, battery sucks, slow, dim and not bluetooth enabled. However, this same trait keeps me gainfully employed so I'm not at all complaining. Just pointing it out as a fact of life more than anything.
Anyway, I should get it by Wed of next week, so I promise to literally post the first picture I take, even if it's my foot or something.
