This week we got a new camera for work (Canon Ixus 50). Me being the resident "camera guy" I was tasked with setting it up. Holy Crap! Give me my *ist D any day. The amount of stuff buried in sub-sub-sub menus is outrageous. (Remember the *ist D was my first ever digital camera)
Mind you, it takes nice pictures. And compared to the 6 year old Fuji it's replacing is a joy to use. No more 10 second start up time & 2 second shutter lag. Have fun GW.
