Canon SX280

My main camera for the last year has been the Canon PowerShot A1300 HD. I bought this little sweety because it was under a $100 and it had a viewfinder. It also had some great Canon electronics and it’s served me well. Alas, I never used the viewfinder…

Steph has lost her old point & shoot. There was a cow mutilation in the Valley recently and I believe the aliens spotted her camera on our deck and used it to document the event. Photographing surgically removed cow vaginas is now it’s new destiny.

Over the last 40 years I’ve made the transition from big 35mm rigs down to something I can put in my front pocket without appearing excited. Tonight I bought Canon’s great new point & shoot, the PowerShot SX280 HS from Amazon for $259 with free shipping and I gave the A1300 to Steph.

It speaks volumes for a manufacturer to have a customer move up to their latest and greatest product, without switching brands, and you deserve it Canon! This thing has GPS and WIFI which means I can geocode each shot and send it to my phone for upload, and it has Canon’s latest DIGIC 6 Image Processor for great pictures.

(Quote: You don't often see the big camera makers debut their new processing chips in compacts, but that's exactly what Canon has done with their new Digic 6 chip and the 20x optical zooming SX280 HS)

  1. You got my funny bone on this one Jim. I know Steph well love your old camera. Oh my boy where was your mind? Wondering what you was thinking with who found her camera after she lost it. Darned old Aliens.

  2. Them damn aliens taking cow vaginas to breed human/alien highbred babies. What next? Did I tell you I’ve seen weird lights jumping here and there in the sky and in SF? We live in cow country here so they are up there observing. Tonight is the Sonoma County MUFON meeting. Can’t make it tonight but next month Grant’s son, Dmitri and I are going to a meeting. (MUFON: Mutual UFO Network).

  3. Aliens are the logical consensus around here, much more believable then human cults. And, there is no blood, fluids or tracks around the cows. We’ve had a few cows slaughtered here in the Valley and many more in the surrounding area.
