Went to a local office supply shop to buy something and what a surprise, their camera's were on sale. So for much less then replacing my small one I replaced it with a Kodax Al012IS. So far this beginner is totally satisfied and I have much greater magnification.<br />But then I am a beginner of 1 year.One Woman's Journey - a journal being written from Woodhaven - her cottage in the woods.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12548226150115102345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-16377830687793814512009-04-24T06:19:00.000-05:002009-04-24T06:19:00.000-05:00Gail, think of it as a necessary garden tool.

I chose the super macro and sacrificed the zoom. While I would love to be able to take a photo of a bird a mile away, I am more enthralled with the very close up shots of my flowers. <br /><br />But this is something only you can decide.

I'd probably pick another "Can" tho ~ that's how impartial I am. It's a good dilemma to have ~ good luck making a decision. I usually don't even try and decipher the owners manual ~ but rather play with it/all the buttons, etc., myself until I figure them out.

It has a built-in zoom and wide angle, so I don't need to carry a back pack full of SLR lenses and such around. <br />Here's a link to a review:<br /><br />http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_sx10-review/<br /><br />Yes, all Canon instruction manuals are terrible, but if you've used a Canon, you can probably figure it out without a lot of reading. This one is highly programmable. I've been using it for a few months now (all of today's blog photos). It has a macro, but with the zoom capability, I find myself not bothering to kneel down for macro shots! <br /><br />CameronF Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558874651743241988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-62740864656512690562009-04-22T14:34:00.000-05:002009-04-22T14:34:00.000-05:00Dear Gail......After nine months with my new camer...Dear Gail......After nine months with my new camera, I am at last beginning to understand it....... and it now does what I want it to (not what it wants to).......<br /><br />I gave my first camera away.....and I miss it....we were without doubt having a love affair....it was a match made in heaven.......I hope it is happy in its new home, that is all I can say........Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-24965400584689847282009-04-22T14:23:00.000-05:002009-04-22T14:23:00.000-05:00I am praying that my camera never gives out.
