Canon Powershot SD line

Today on my way home from the airport I stopped into a couple of stores to see the differences between a few cameras that I had been looking into purchasing. The most helpful store was Best Buy. I talked with a guy there on the type of camera I was looking for. I want an optical viewfinder, at least 6MP, must use SD cards, And needs to be able to be charged by my iGo Juice. He directed me to the Canon SD line of cameras and specifically to the Canon SD800, The SD 800 is a pretty amazing little camera. It has optical image stabilization. I took a few pictures and found myself using the screen rather than the viewfinder. So I guess I really don’t need the viewfinder after all. I would take the picture and it would start out fuzzy and then become crystal clear in a second. The camera is pretty amazing. However I don’t know if iGo has a tip for this line as their website does not show the SD line on the list of iTips. I sent them a message to ask which one to get. If they do have the charging iTip I will be saving my pennies to pick up one of these. I also have to do some more research.

Camera Backpack

Last night I had dinner with our friends Autumn and Kenny. Kenny brought his new camera backpack. This thing was awesome. It had one large compartment for a laptop computer. Since I do so much digital stuff on a laptop this is a must for me. There was also a catch all compartment for he easy to grab stuff like my mini tripod and whatnot. But the best part is the padded, adjustable pocket for the camera and lenses and memory cards and spare batteries and all the things that I would need when taking the camera out on a photo shoot. I admit it I have backpack envy right now. I will have to save my pennies because even though the pack is on sale at Amazon it still is a bit expensive and I made all my huge purchases for the month with all the other stuff I got and ordered. But soon when I earn a bit more play money I will get myself a great pack like Kenny’s.
