New Camera Photos from the PT Brewery

Posted Wed, 2010-03-17 11:56 by Emily Caryl

In celebration of my new blog, I treated myself to a new camera.  I chose the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS for several reasons:

• I know three people who have various models of the PowerShot and all of them like it.
• The camera has dozens of pre-programmed settings based on your lighting and subject.  As you can probably tell from the photos on this web site, I'm definitely no photographer!  I don't know aperture from focal length.  Luckily, with this camera, that knowledge isn't required.
• I've used the PowerShot before and the basic functions are fairly intuitive.  I knew I wouldn't have to spend hours perusing the manual prior to taking the first picture.

So far, so good.  I love it!  It has a 20X optical zoom (my previous camera, a gift in 2003, boasted 6X optical zoom).  The PowerShot features 12.1 megapixels (old camera = 2.1).  It also shoots HD video (43 minutes worth on an 8GB card).  Sweet!

Here are some pictures I took at the Port Townsend Brewery, just fooling around with the different settings.
