Our current camera is starting to fall apart (literally) and so before we were rendered cameraless, we decided to purchase a new one. We went with the Canon Powershot SD1000. It is a nice, compact little camera with lots of features. Our other camera is nice too, but sort of clunky and definitely not a pocket camera. This camera will allow us to take it along more often as it will be more convenient to carry. I did some test photos the day after it arrived. It has a face framing setting, so you are focusing on the person's face and not the flower on the ground or something. It also has red-eye reduction which means it has a orange-tinged light that shines on the subject right before the photo snaps. If you are focusing the camera and waiting for just the right shot, then the light continues to shine on the subject. As you can see below, Alistair is NOT a fan of this feature:
It's a little better in the next photo, but still clearly not a fan:
Sadie didn't seem to mind, and brought Ken along to pose with her:
This photo is much better. We took Sadie to the dogpark yesterday and Alistair had a great time. He loves watching the dogs run and play. Some even come to say Hi to him. If you click on the photo and get a larger version, you can see his tooth fairly prominantly! Sadie is ducking into some shade as we haven't hit the water yet and she is HOT!
