Got the new Canon A590 IS in today

Some quick pics and im quite impressed so far. Its much smaller than the other “A” models I have had, by about an inch in width, but its much more plasticy feeling.

Today I received a Newegg.com email with several deals in it. I have been shopping for a new digital camera for a while, preferably a Canon and with image stabilized zoom and 7-10 mega pixel. They had the Canon A590IS for a really good price it was also paired with a 2GB SD card. I got it with shipping for ~142$. So I ordered it, It should be here early next week.

I also ordered a Gorlliapod tripod from amazon


As soon as I have them both I will be posting full reviews of them both.

We haver Boxer’s they are really great dogs when you have kids. Very gentle and always playful. Recently we had to put one of our older Boxer’s down Shiva she had gotten a form of dog dementia and started falling over and just acting right, she dropped from 75+ pounds to 55 pounds in a matter of a few months.

We still had Babe she is a rescue dog and quite a character

So after a while we decided to get a new Puppy, So we got a new Boxer pup,

I took this picture of my son at a children’s birthday party a few weeks ago. Its very haunting in a way. I used a Canon PowerShot A610 and he was moving very fast I guess. The Boy There ya go. On this topic I have been looking at new cameras. I am a real Canon zealot. Since the late 90’s when I owned a Nikon Coolpix 950 and it malfunctioned several times I have since become a Canon fan, specifically the point and shoot PowerShot series. I have owned both a A610 and an older model an A520, both very durable and take decent pictures. I have a few requirements when buying a digital camera.

  • Must use AA or AAA batteries, I dislike proprietary batteries, nothing like being out of juice and not being able to buy replacements.
  • Must be durable, not flimsy.
  • Must not be too small. Being to small is a bad thing for me. I use the camera in my workshop a lot and it tends to get piled under paper and tools sometimes.
  • Should take decent night photos, I shoot pictures of my artwork in the dusk and dark.
  • I dont care much about massive zoom

Thats about it. Oh and cost around 200 $$.
