Unknown Creature near Fungus Material 3.2 sec - Canon S2-IS to S5-IS Owners Please Read
TWO THINGS HERE
(1). This Photo - Taken at Cape Tribulation early this year. With great difficulty for the creature was so tiny and the light was so bad. In my fungi work, I often find very small life forms on and in rotting logs. Most are unknown to me and I would not be surprised if some are not even known. I took many many shots of this creature and only one or two turned out for nearly all were heavily blurred. This one was taken on supermacro at the closest distance, almost touching, and hand held on the log at 3.2 seconds. It was taken with the Canon S3-IS. The creature itself was no more than 4 or 5 mm long.
(2). The S6-IS. For all my contact friends who use one of the Canon S series (S2 S3 S5), I have been anxiously waiting for the Canon S6-IS to be announced as I will be getting one in time. HOWEVER the replacement for the S5-IS has been announced and released by Canon and I did not know on 17 September 2008. The thing is, it has a different name. "SX1-IS" and "SX10-IS". The two models replace the S5-IS.
What is remarkable here is that this new camera has specifications way beyond what was rumoured for the S6. For those of you who were interested in what the S6 was going to be check these references for the new replacements:-

5. The Manual Look at it (but about 4 or 6 Mb to load) This is a whole manual!! You might find find it interesting.

MY BIGGEST CONCERN was that the new cameras did not have macro or supermacro and nothing I read anywhere on the Internet for hours told me. Then I looked at this Manual and it is page 77 (I think), It certainly has excellent macro and supermacro qualities just like the S series with about the same distances. I intend getting one next year - cant 'afford one now with the financial market and my operation I had to pay for, and maybe another one this year too. :-(
Take care everyone.
