New Camera
I got my Canon G9 in the mail this weekend. I wanted something with most of the power of a DSLR, but small enough to easily carry on mountaineering trips. The biggest hassle with a DSLR is carrying lenses – skiing or climbing with a lens attached is just asking for trouble, and taking them off all but requires a full camera bag. Yes, it can be done, but you’re looking at a photography expedition at that point. Sometimes I just want to climb mountains without all that gear, but I don’t want to miss shots at the top, either?
The G9 is my answer. Almost as good as a DSLR, and the lens compresses into the body for storage. You can add filters and extender lenses, and you have more control than just about any other point and shoot I’ve seen. I’m still learning some of its quirks, but here’s a shot I took while playing with the camera….
This is a shot of Puget Sound, taken at about 4PM on an overcast day. The darkness and saturation are artificial, giving it almost a night time feel, but not quite. There’s something slightly wrong with the sky, and that’s what I like about it.
