I’ve been really busy working on a research paper which is due this Friday but its thankfully drawing to a close. I found some time today to buy a new camera – something I’d been thinking about for a couple of months now. Its the Canon Powershot S2 IS, and its a real beauty. I really like the solid feel of the camera with the handgrip and heavier weight. Here are some of the first photos I took with it.

(Compare this photo to this older one to see the difference between my old Panasonic and the Powershot S2)
Zoomed (full 12x) into the domed building in the skyline:
And of course, no fun having a new camera if you don’t bug other people with it, so here’s my flatmate:

Can’t wait to really test this beauty out, but for now I’d better get back to work…
