Resting Nite - Raptures Alight!

I’m not a SLR girl - I find them cumbersome to drag around and I’m not that good a photographer. I’m more into Prosumer models - they meet my needs in terms of size (portability) and features (optical zoom, resolution and shutter/aperture tweaking).

So currently my eye is on the Canon Powershot S5 IS.

*insert Homer Simpson drool here*

I’m always up for a fab new tool, and this one is great, especially when you have to do a rush job - sometimes I get clients who want a banner and don’t provide me with suitable artwork, so I usually charge them for re-drawing their logos. This could be a quick-and-dirty that gives me a scalable image for emergencies… although it does only have limited scalability.
 
 
 
However one of the cool things it does is turn photos into vector images. You do lose detail (which should be expected), but you get some rather funky shots with the right photos!
