I’m not a huge photographer. Never liked it as a child. Complex terms, and I wear glasses and could never focus an old 33mm.

But digital makes it much easier. For years I had a Nikon Coolpix 3100. And I finally got decent enough to realize that it kinda sucks. I especially wanted a zoom upgrade, so I can get good closeups.

So yesterday I bought a Canon PowerShot S3. It weighs three times more, but it has a 12x optical zoom and actually has realistic color capture.

I think I’m going to like this camera.
