My New Digital Camera: The Canon Powershot A610
As traumatic as it was to have my old digital camera stolen in Bangladesh last week, at least it gave me the perfect excuse to upgrade. So without further ado, I'd like to introduce my new digital camera, a five megapixel Canon Powershot A610.

I've always been a big fan of Canons; before I switched to digital, I used a 35mm Canon EOS Rebel for almost 10 years. I then bought the 2.0 megapixel Canon A60, which served me well for the last two years, from Hong Kong to Oman. When it was stolen last week in Bangladesh, I immediately started looking at the latest generation of Canon Powershots. I was tempted to get the seven megapixel Canon A620, but since I already have an eight megapixel Konica Minolta dImage A200 for professional occasions, a more compact (and more affordable) five megapixel camera seemed to make the most sense.
I didn't receive the camera until sunset today, so I haven't had a chance to put the camera through any rigorous tests yet. Hopefully I'll have a few minutes during lunch tomorrow to run outside, snap some pics, shoot some video and see how they turn out. Until then, I'm just happy to have a digital camera I can slip into my pocket and carry with me to Tunisia late next week for the World Summit on the Information Society.... -andy
