series of cameras. I've been tossing around the idea of starting a photography-only blog about my experiences with the new camera. I love photography but on Fotolia (See my small portfolio here) where I was submitting my photos and getting paid for some, but a lot of my shots were rejected on image quality, due to my old Cannon Powershot A95 being a digital dino.We narrowed it down between the Canon Powershot G10 14.7MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
and the Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
.In some ways I know we were comparing apples to oranges (or maybe even kumquats), but we both knew we wanted a really high-quality camera that would take great images without paying another few hundred dollars for the digital SLR price. My husband wanted the high level of digital image quality offered by the 14.7 MP of the G10, and I wanted to use the camera to learn all about ISO settings and aperture and such before delving into an even pricier true SLR camera purchase. We both liked the heftier feel of the SX10 and the lower price was also much more appealing, but ultimately the deciding factor was the megapixels, since at this level we figure the optical technology is very similar. Time will tell if we made the right choice. I also like the fact that the screen is a lot more durable than the flip screen on my old Canon A95, though my daughter V is chomping at the bit to get her hands on that camera for taking her own pictures on vacation next week.
About 8 months ago we looked into replacing our camera but life circumstances prevented the purchase then. I'm glad we waited because the camera we chose is a a lot more flexible than the lower-level Canon Powershot cameras we were looking at before. I can't wait to get started using my favorite subjects. Z of course will be my test subject for action shots, and V and EV will help me with my closeups!
