I got a new camera for Christmas, a Canon Power Shot SX130 IS. I do like it, but need to work with it more to get better photos. Like other online, I do find the “auto” setting not for me.<\/p>\n
The second thing that bugs me is their website for my product. I registered my camera on their site, and that gave me info on the Canon iMage Gateway, and so I connected to that … since my camera was eligible, though I wouldn’t be loading any pictures to it, necessarily, just wanted to see what stuff was there to support my camera and knowledge, easy find of accessories, downloads, etc.<\/p>\n
But … that’s not the case at all. My Power Shot SX130 IS is eligible for the service, compatible, etc. It’s not in the “MY CAMERA” area at all. That was yesterday. Today I deleted my registration and re-registered it, starting from the “Canon iMage Gateway” page with me logged in. That didn’t get my Power Shot SX130 IS into my profile there either.<\/p>\n
So I tried something stupid, I registered my old Digital Rebel … and voila! There my Rebel sits as my Primary camera in Canon iMage Gateway. Still no Power Shot showing up. Urg!<\/p>\n
Third beef is that under My Camera Themes, you can’t download unless using IE. What an annoyance!<\/p>\n
In any case, I do like the camera, the size, the feel of it is very natural for me. I love the zoom function, it is so natural, it’s second nature, and was from the get-go. I still have trouble with my Sony Handycam’s zoom thingie. FWIW.<\/p>\n
I like the LCD display, very large for the camera size. I don’t particularly like the focus of the camera in many situations. I need to try P more. On my Rebel I used any of the settings with good results (well, still do, though I don’t use it as much since I got my HTC Evo, with an 8 megapixel camera. Now with a new compact digital 12 megapixels, my Rebel will sit more. It’s old, slow, 6 megapixels as well.<\/p>\n
My dream camera is a Canon EOS 50D. Not so sold on the newer 60D yet. I’d love a higher end than either as well, but putting thing into persepective, the 50D would be fine for me, I don’t NEED a bigger camera, just would LIKE one. I could use a good SLR, really updated and fast.<\/p>\n
I have an Eye-Fi card in my Power Shot camera. It works pretty well. I’ll be happier with it when I’m happier with the pictures I’m snapping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
