Coffee Bar ll

Here is another angle from the coffee bar shot below.

I came in low, shooting directly into the sunrays coming thru the door.

Coffee Bar

Just before I shot an assignment of some execs in the lobby of a building I grabbed this shot of the coffee bar.

Pocket cam joy ! - Canon S90

For so long, I ignored digital "point and shoot" cameras as mere toys, made
for mom's and quick vacation photos,etc.

A couple of years ago I decided that I could use a every day tote along camera to capture stuff I run into daily, a pocket camera.

My choice then was the Fuji F30, it did a nice job in not so great lighting but a maximum aperture of f 2.8 was limiting in some situations.

Last month I gave my Fuji to my nephew in Sacramento and bought the new Canon S90 to replace it. Hey Matt, hope your having fun with it !

First it features a 28-105 f/ 2 ! An excellent zoom range with a nice fast f/2 max. ISO's up to 6400 or higher are possible, but I'm finding that iso 800 turns out very smooth images, 400 is similar to what I used to get at 100 iso.

It has the same big sensor as the Canon PowerShot G11, with the same DSLR-like controls, but in a body smaller and lighter than the G11. It's not only more convenient than a G11, it also has a unique direct control ring to change your shutter speed/aperture fast. The S90 allows for complete manual over ride of exposure and focus.
• Lens Control Ring

• RAW shooting
• Fast f/2.0-4.9 maximum aperture range
• Lens covering the classic 28-105mm range

At any rate, it's a winner in my book !
