With my new camera I can...

I have been having a lot of fun with my new digital camera since I got it on Saturday morning. I've been looking forward to getting a new one for some time now, but there just wasn't one that was quite up to my standards (for the price). Until the Canon Powershot S2 IS came out, that is. I'm one of the early adopters of it, since it still isn't available many places. It wasn't even on display at the Best Buy where I got it. It is very well designed. It's fast at starting up, focusing, and repeating. It can see very close and very far very clearly due to the good optics, image stabilization, and high resolution. It's compact in size, and has great video and sound recording capabilities. Plus, it cost no more than the previous camera I owned, which came out about three years ago. Technology really is advancing rapidly. In the following posts, I'll demonstrate how it has expanded the realm of what is visible for me by being both a spotting scope and a magnifying glass.
