I just purchased a Canon PowerShot 115 IS. Although it is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera, I think it is great (so far) for the money ($79.95) not including the 16 GB memory card which you have to purchase anyway. I like to have at least one compact camera that I can take along with me at all times. I only use my Nikon J1 for more professional looking photos. I guess you can have professional looking photos with a point and shoot camera as well. If you know how to use the ‘program’ mode and experiment with the settings.
I originally went to the store to buy a Nikon compact point-and-shoot camera that was advertised in the paper. When I found it was sold out, and that the camera was on sale since last Monday, (and only now it was advertised in the Sunday paper) I was a little upset that they put the ad in six days later. But I guess that was a blessing in disguise. Because I ended up with a better camera also my first Canon camera. Even though I had to spend $30 more for the camera. So this will be my new albatross…(oops!) I mean friend that I’ll take along with me everywhere I go.
I’ll just post the specs that I copied from the internet. Since I like reading the specs for different cameras, and other electronic gadgets. [Even though I might not understand what some of them mean]. Although it doesn’t have Wi-Fi, and all those novelty features such as Magic Frame, I’m still happy with it. Happy photographing.
