Enjoy! I just received my new Canon Elph SD870IS. I have been playing around with it and now I am posting my first photos here. So far I am extremely pleased with the quality of the photos and, for the most part, the automatic settings of the camera. I do wish it had a few more manual settings and fun things to do, but all in all, it seems to have some great features.

I like your bike portfolio. I was a shooter from about 30 to about 20 years ago. Started out doing head shots and portfolios for fellow actors then somehow staggered into weddings. Used two Nikkormat FT3s with 45 and 135 lenses ('cause I didn't trust zooms to be sharp) and used a Nikon S3m rangefinder with a 105 for shooting during the ceremony (no mirror slap to spoil the moment). If I had a brain, I'd still own that joker. When my eyes got so bad I couldn't see through the viewfinder, I tried an autofocus "pro" camera. Early Minolta as I recall, but it could have been an Olympus (it's a memory I've tried to expunge). Hated it. Hated. And it hated me -- kept refusing to shoot because the little onboard computer thought I was and idiot. (One of my signature shots was the bride 3/4 profile by a stained-glass window with the colors of the window patterning on her white dress. Usually a 1-second exposure; f/5.6 or f/8 depending. The damn camera kept firing its built-in fill-flash and there was no way to disable it.) My wife and I have a digital something around somewhere. A fit-in-the-pocket vacation snapper. My own photography days are behind me. But I admire well composed photographs with an original eye and you do good work. I still have a set of White Lightning lights and umbrellas for studio work, if you're in the market. And a Metz 45 CT-4 for on-camera. They're 25 years old, but kept pristine.
Thanks for your compliments. Glad you like my work. Thanks for looking and reading. :) I think I am going to stick to the equipment I have for now, but thanks for the offer.
Dearheart, that wasn't a serious offer on the equipment. The things are antiques, technologically speaking. It would be a bit like hooking an Underwood manual up to your laptop. Your significant other can tell you not to take me seriously.
