The First Photo!! And we didn't even break the camera! (but we forgot to use the flash!)

Hmm. Maybe G should zoom out a bit.

Skulkin' around.

The best part about a zoom lens is we can't even see what she's reading. Could be Shakespeare, could be a learned treatise of epidemiology. Could be a trashy romance novel. We'll never know.

Widest angle shot on the venerable elph. (35mm equivalent of 35mm)

img_0502.jpg

Highest telephoto zoom of the venerable elph (2x zoom or 35mm equivalent of 70mm)

img_0060.jpg

Widest angle shot of our new camera. (35mm equivalent is 36mm)

img_0061.jpg

Highest telephoto end of the new camera's zoom. (12x zoom or 35mm equivalent of 432mm)

img_0062.jpg

Full zoom with digital zoom (48x zoom or 35mm equivalent of 864mm). Not especially useful because of the quality degradation.

Bill's first attempt at playing with a shallow depth of field (keeping the subject in focus but the background less-so)

It might be time to clean the grill. It's looking a bit dirty.

Another comparison. Elph at it's widest-angle. (35mm equivalent 35mm)

img_0504.jpg

Elph at maximum optical zoom of 2x (35mm equivalent 70mm)

img_0505.jpg

Elph at highest digital zoom of 4x (35mm equivalent 140mm)

New camera at widest angle (35mm equivalent of 36mm)

New camera at 12x zoom (35mm equivalent 432mm)

New camera at maximum zoom plus 2x digital zoom (35mm equivalent 864)
