The Best Camera Is The One You Use

After all the talk about how much I love my DSLR and such, I went out and bought myself a Canon S90.  Yes.  A point and shoot.  Most P&S’s are, in short, horrible pieces of crap – the S90 is kind of an exception – kinda.  In a minute, the problems, but for now, the one undeniable quality: they fit in your pocket, which means you have them with you when you’re say, at work.  That means you take pictures, like this:

Camera & Lens   Canon PowerShot S90 (Canon) & 6.0-22.5 mm     Shutter:   1/1000 s
Creation Date:   2010:02:18 00:31:08     Aperture:   f/2.0
Artist:   N/A     ISO:   160
Exposure Mode:   N/A     Focal Length:   6 mm

Not too bad, eh?  If you want to hear my thoughts on why you’d want a Point and Shoot vs. a DSLR and all about the S90, hit the jump for more…

Vapore Means Steam

Steampunk stuff is great – old knobs and rivets.  The stuff that inspired it is even better – authenticity, you know?  With this one though, I just couldn’t pass up the pun…
