A Few of My Favorite Things – Canon Digital Cameras

Are you in the market for a digital camera? My favorite brand for digital cameras is Canon. I had a PowerShot S30 then upgraded to a SD700IS and am happy with both of them.

The SD700IS is small and easily fits in my pocket so I carry it around quite a bit. Because of its small size, you can operate it with one hand which usually makes for shaky and blurry pictures. Not to worry though since the “IS” stands for Image Stabilization and compensates nicely.

The SD700IS is fast. It powers on quickly, focuses quickly so you don’t miss that shot, and it’s ready to take the next picture in no time.

I like the image quality of Canon cameras. To me, the colors of Canon pictures look the best, especially the flesh tones. People’s skin may have a reddish tint with Canon images, but I like that better than washed out images I’ve seen from other cameras like Sonys. Yeah, you can adjust picture colors with image editing software, but I’m lazy and the Canon images are good enough for me.

The body of the camera is pretty tough, and there’s some weight to the camera making it easy to handle. The screen is huge, but the optical viewfinder is still available. When you’re trying to conserve your battery or bright sunlight is too much for the screen, you’ll be glad to have the optical viewfinder that most compact cameras no longer have.

And speaking of battery, the battery life of the SD700IS is unreal. After taking lots of pictures (and using the flash), I rarely get a low battery warning. I usually change the battery on my own instead of waiting for the battery to run down.

So if you’re looking for a digital camera, take a look at Canons. Although the SD700IS is still available, as Howard Jones said Things Can Only Get Better, and they have with the introduction of the PowerShot SD800IS and most recently, the PowerShot SD850IS.
