Trying Out IXUS 70

Here are some pictures I've took using some of the internal features of the camera. These was taken outside the MAS office downtown. Sitting outside on the staircase while waiting for my parents, I've took some shots and trying out some of the features available!!

Note: These pictures are posted without any further editing.


View from the staircase where I sat. Normal shot.


Zooming the flag of MAS, Malaysia and Sarawak.
It was displayed quite clear in the LCD but it turns out a bit darker.


Trying out with the zoom, taking the picture of this parking attendant auntie at the other side of the road. But unfortunately, the picture was a bit blurry.

While taking those pictures, I've found one interesting subject to capture...

- an elderly Chinese man -

Actually he has already appeared in the first picture above. He was standing behind the bike.


Another picture taken without any effects. The elderly man can be spot just behind the red Kancil.


Trying out this pretty weird feature, it's like using the black and white feature and plus with another feature which only detect anything greenish and yellowish.


Another shot using the same feature as above. I find the picture is pretty cool, the grass is so green.


The elderly man took out his phone, a NOKIA 2650.


Most of the elderly people nowadays are quite technology wise and he's obviously typing a message. A skill which both of my grandpa and grandma doesn't have they don't really need it anyway since they're staying in rural area which has no network coverage.

Actually he's also just like me, being so bored waiting for someone in the office. Since I can only capture limited shots due to the capacity of the memory card which is only 32Mb and using the highest resolution (3,072 x 2,304 pixels) for better quality, I can't take pictures anymore so I decided to enter the building and sit on a sofa which is far more comfortable than sitting on a hard surface outside. Having a slim type body sitting on hard surface is NOT comfortable - thin layer of cushion to support my heavy bones from contacting with the hard surface.

What I Like about IXUS 70
It is remarkably fast to start up. You're ready to start shooting right away just after you've pressed the power switch on. Square shaped, can place it on most surfaces. Slim and light, easy to carry around and nicely fitted into the pocket.

What I Don't Like about IXUS 70
The menu systems are slightly over complicated. Having two different menus layout that will get your head around. Blurry images especially when you zoom. The photo quality is quite lousy.

Surprise!! Your Dream Has Come True

While I was having my lunch at Jollybee, my dad suddenly took out something from his pocket. Busy enjoying the food, I didn't realize that my dad was holding a digital camera and he's trying to take a candid shot of me eating. I only realize it when I saw the red light flashing on.


Huh?!! Hang on... What the... a camera?!!! Take another one please....


Yea, this look better. ^^

Actually it's a camera owned by my father's department and every officers has one. What a kind-hearted department, giving away a digital camera to all officers in the department and each camera cost more than RM 1000!!

So, my dad got his share too. It's a CANON DIGITAL IXUS 70 the slimmest Canon's compact camera. Offering quite impressive features - 7.1 megapixel sensor, 3x zoom lens equivalent to 35-105mm, 2.5 inch LCD screen, Canon's DIGIC III image processor technology and supplies 32Mb of external memory card which only can only store around 9 images (with the best resolution of course).

Being so excited of "having" a digital camera, I grab the camera from my dad just after I've done with my lunch and took some random shots ~ SNAPS!! SNAPS!!

Attention ~ Most pictures took are close up shots...


I love green tea...

We celebrate Christmas everyday!!


Remote control of the parabola

Now I don't have to rely only on my NOKIA N70 to take pictures which only offers 2.0 megapixel sensor and 4.8mm 1:3:2 lens. It may helps sometimes 'cause I'm not gonna carry the camera all the time.

All this while I kept convincing my dad to buy a digital camera as usual he refuse to get one and I always dream that I will have one and God reply my dream by me one. Thank You Very Much!!! Feel grateful although it's not mine but anyway I can always use it anytime but terms and conditions may apply
