New toy!

My trusty Canon Ixus died a few months ago after many years of good service. It Just Worked. Then at a gig at Somerset House last year, it went a bit funny. The day after, it recovered and was fine again for a while until it wasn't any more.

Under advice from cameraphile friends of mine, towards the end of last year, I checked out the Canon S90 and fell in love a tiny bit. And yesterday I finally gave in and spent some of my October bonus on one. So now I have one functioning compact camera and one slightly broken (USB connector usable only with great care, so it needs repairing, though I can use a card reader instead if I have to) DSLR that has lasted really well since March 2007 or so and still going strong at well over 10,000 photos taken with it now.

Obligatory cat test shots...

    I was sad my Ixus died. It was great, the battery lasted forever and it never took a bad photo! Of course, it was a great excuse to get a "best of breed" crossover between compact and DSLR :o) Now I just have to remember to take photos of food with it!
