I lost my little Canon camera a couple of weeks ago so it was time to do my tax returns and go shopping. As much as I loved my old camera I wasn’t too fussed about losing it, after it copped some water damage at the slopes, it was never the same again.

After a bit of research and hunting around I found my new toy: Canon S95. It looks exactly the same as my old camera but it’s slightly bigger and takes much better shots.

I got it just in time for my trip to Melbourne so I was able to take it out for a test run. Here’s a couple of random shots (totally unedited):

There’s a neat little fish-eye function on the camera. It’s not a true fish-eye, it just distorts the shot.

Trippy fish-eye

Like most Canon point-n-shot cameras it has the Colour accent feature.

I hadn’t seen this function before, it’s called miniature. Basically it blurs the top and bottom bits to make the object appear miniature. Pretty cool huh?

All up it’s a neat little camera – with a full range of manual controls – that I can take with me everywhere, which is great for catching little moments like this.
