Georgia Aquarium with the SX20IS
My short trip to Atlanta was a blast. We had a good time and visited some interesting places. We went to the Federal Reserve Bank, CNN, Chick-Fil-A Headquarters, World of Coke, and the Georgia Aquarium. One of my personal experiments on this trip was to give a workout to my new small camera, the Canon SX20 IS. I wanted to put it through its paces as a point and shoot camera, so that's exactly what I did. I put the camera in fully automatic mode and left it there all weekend. I didn't touch a single setting on the camera. As I was scrolling through my photos from the trip, I didn't find any that had any problems at all until I got to my images from the aquarium where it was pretty dark for everything I shot. Shooting in the dark with telephoto lenses usually creates a really tough situation with camera shake, but this camera performed as well as I could have asked for. The image stabilization worked beautifully and I came home with a ton of great images from the visit to the Georgia Aquarium. HERE are a few samples of those if you want to take a glance...
I'm really happy with this camera. I bought it because I wanted a small camera that had a good zoom, and at 20x, this one works well. I still have my Canon G9, but the SX20 IS is going to become my front-runner camera for non-sports photography now...
