Playing around with my new camera

Playing around with my new camera I got today (Canon SX100). Big upgrade from my old dinosaur of a camera(3.2MP Olympus). What I like about the camera is that it gives you manual controls, raw file support via chdk and big optical zoom capability in a compact body (compared to DSLRs anyway). I have yet to learn the manual controls

 

What I noticed today was that I could get much closer to the subject in macro shots now (see above) and the image stabilization means I don't have to use a tripod as much, I don't get the blur that was much more common before. Yeah I know it's a pretty common feature on today's cameras. I've finally stopped living in the stone age!
