Canon Rocks

I had bought a Canon S1 IS(the first generation ultra zoom camera) way back in Mar of 2004 from Amazon. Four years later the LCD screen and EVF went on the blink. I was in denial for  a few months, when I finally handed it over to Canon India (through my cousin who works there).  She called a few days later to tell me that they can't fix the camera, but they will replace it with the latest generation Canon S5 IS. Awesome...

This is customer service, not the usual bit of thievery, most companies in India Indulge in.

I was out to lunch this sunday, so I took it out the camera to take some pics...

Bougainvillea at the Defence Colony Market. This was in the Macro mode. I feel that the focus is a bit soft. I need to get the hang of the camera.

I plan to run the much famed CHDK custom firmware for  DIGIC II & III processors... The stuff you can add to the cameras functionality is mindboggling...

 

Also Canon seems to have standardised accesories around this series, so I might pick up a Canon TC DC58B Tele-Converterlens as well to get an approx 600 mm equiv... That is fantastically huge.
