New Camera for CNY

These pics were taken about three weeks ago. Our RC had put up some nice lanterns and figurines right below our block for the residents' CNY celebration. So I took the opportunity to practise taking some shots with my new Canon PowerShot S5.


Ying Ying had accidentally damaged our 3.5-year-old Lumix F11 by dropping it during lunch at Jack's Place. The LCD screen hit the concrete wall and was cracked as a result of the impact. I called Panasonic and found out it would take at least $170 or so to repair. So we figured we might as well invest in a new camera. A friend recommended Canon S5 and we decided to give it a try.

Overall, I am very pleased with the new cam though I am still not used to its bulkiness (after owning compact cameras for so many years). The images and video clips taken were very much sharper and I can zoom in from a further distance away. Here are some more pics...
