Most of the time when I am taking photos I use my Canon 50D. I have a Canon Powershot ELPH as well, but most of the time that is used for photos of the kids when we are out and about. The Powershot is lightweight and easy to use. I generally don’t think about it much, it might be fair to say I take it for granted. For this post I would like to share two photos that would not have been possible without my small camera:
ISO 200 9mm 0ev f4.5 1/13
This photo was taken in a very tight space. My 50D would not have been able to fit in this space and focus. The Powershot settings I adjusted, waited for the robin to leave the nest, took a quick picture, and then hurried away. This shot is nothing complicated, it is just a quick shot, I wanted to be in that space for the least amount of time possible.
Then there are times when your larger camera is in use, but you see another photo:
ISO 200 20mm 0ev f/5.6 1/40
I had my larger camera set up for documenting the robin’s nest, and this bunny was very curious about what was going on, or maybe just hungry. Without the smaller camera, I would have no photo.
Now, I am not ready to give up my 50D, but I just wanted to put in a good word for my Powershot. Any thoughts on your favorite camera(s)? feel free to share in the comment section.
Cheers!
