Breaking in the New Camera!

Recently, I got a new Canon Powershot SX20 IS. Just 2 days after buying it, I decided to test it out at California’s Great America. Not only does this camera take some great shots, but it also has great 720p HD video. For anyone looking to purchase a camera, I would highly recommend this as a great start up SLR camera.

Check out the first shots captured at California’s Great America as well as a HD Video Test:

I am still getting used to the camera and all of it’s various features, but it is certainly an improvement from my old!

And here we have the first HD Video of Centrifuge:

Wow, that’s really great. How much is it? And where did you buy it?

It was on sale at Best Buy for $350. After buying a 8g 15mb/s memory card, carrying case, and extra batteries, it came out to over $500. Money well spent in my opinion however.

nice? does it have any special shot modes? i got a camera for around $80 that can take panoramic shots, and pretty decent pics and vids too.

I have an older generation Powershot that’s basically like the SX20. The difference between this camera and every other is the lens. It has 12x optical zoom, which is 3-4x more than most point-and-shoot cameras have. You can zoom in to things from far away, which is great for taking closeups of coaster tracks. It’s been a great camera. My video sucks, but I don’t think I would want to use it as a video camera since it lacks a mic input and all that.

Awesomedude137 – It does feature some special scene selections. My favorite is color accent. This is where everything in the picture is black and white except for one color you select. The first shot above of Flight Deck is taken with Color accent.

wow that is an awesome camera! with the color accent you should find a ride that is a solid color and set that color, and take a pic from far away so the entire ride sticks out
