My del.icio.us

Wednesday, July 2. 2008

Last weekend I finally found some time to upload pictures that I had taken during various events that I attended in the past few months. So here are my impressions from the following events:

These are probably the last pictures that I have taken with my trusty old Pentax Optio S4 - I just received my new camera, a Canon PowerShot A720 IS. I have just started to toy around with it, but the first results look promising! The Pentax served me well for several years - I've taken 9745 pictures with it. But it had a few deficiencies, particularly the slow startup and flash recharge time and the bad quality of pictures indoors bothered me for quite a while. But it is very small and handy and the metal housing makes it quite sturdy.

The first picture taken with my new camera: a picture of the old one.

And probably the last picture taken using the old camera: my new Canon.

Just in case you don't know that one yet: If you are interested in shooting raw photos and in advanced control options (including Basic scripting support), the Canon Hacker's Development Kit may be interesting for you: http://chdk.wikia.com/ I just discovered that a few weeks ago and use it on my Canon Ixus 60 / Powershot 600SD. Works really great!

Hi Daniel, AWESOME! I was not aware of this project - just reading the docs makes me drool

I will take a closer look at it right away. Thanks for the hint! LenZ
