Maidenhead Voyage of the Canon S2 IS
I haven’t had time to go anywhere picturesque to try out the new toy, but yesterday I grabbed it and wandered around the neighborhood just because I couldn’t stand seeing it sit on my desk anymore. I didn’t venture beyond “point-and-shoot” mode. I was just getting used to using the viewfinder and zoom. Unlike my S300, the viewfinder in the S2 IS is digital through the lens instead of optical, so I have to recalibrate my expectations - the actual photo will be much better than what I’m shown in the viewfinder.
Just to demonstrate what the zoom can do, the following three pictures were shot standing in the same place (no, that cute piece of gingerbread is not Chez Perils):
I was kind of astounded when I sucked these onto my laptop and looked at them. I think this is gonna be fun.
