Canon PowerShot A590 IS

I found myself taking alot of pictures using my cellphone. You may view some at my myspace here. So I decided to buy me a nice little camera, nothing fancy but something small enough to put in my pocket and took nice photos. I bought the Canon PowerShot A590 as it was only 160 dollars after shipping and popped in an 8 gig SD card. This camera takes roughly 2600, 8 megapixel pictures with ultrasharp quality, over 10,000 no so sharp 8 MP quality pictures, even more at lower resolution. This camera does a nice job, and also records video with audio which is good. I have uploaded some pictures, you can view them below.

Capturing Rain @ 8MP 4x zoom

The non tri-pod pictures were taken this morning an hour or so after the nice rain we had. It still is foggy as you can tell. The tri-pod pictures were taken with my dads tri-pod at 4:30 in the afternoon. FYI I am not good with tri-pods .
