Just got a new camera

I just got a second hand camera, a 12 megapixel Canon Powershot SX130 IS Superzoom. It takes great pictures and can also shoot HD movies in 720p. I think Canon is one of the best few camera brands, another good brand being Nikon.

I got it because of an increasing need for picture-taking such as the Braun Buffel art competition, and also because I want to take pictures of food that I cook and also to showcase special foods when I eat out. Maybe I will do some food reviews for this blog.

I initially wanted to get a camera 4 years ago mainly to film my arcade performance for BattleGear 4 Tuned but the previous toy camera I got had very poor video quality. However, this current one can shoot in 720p HD.

The Pictures I Took with an Artistic Toy Camera

This post is for proving that I am indeed as artistic as I claimed to be in a previous post where I wrote about Mac vs PC and why I still choose to use the PC even though I am an artistic person. So I am providing the proof(my burden of proof) in case some people do not believe in the existence of my artistic talents.

I decided to post the nice artistic pictures I took a few years ago when I had my very first camera that also happened to be a toy camera — the type of camera that artistic people often use to take artistic pictures. The camera was a Chinese-Japanese toy camera called the Yashica F521 that deliberately did not have the anti-motion control so taking clear pictures was a challenge. I have since sold it because I wanted to try other types of cameras with focusing lenses. Perhaps I will get a new camera soon to take new pictures since I have recently started blogging.
