Canon Photomarathon 2009

CY called and asked me to check this upcoming Canon Photo Marathon Malaysia 2009 so I did…

First thing first, I check out the prizes offered… and I find the prizes a bit “tidak masuk akal” (not make sense).

Why give another compact camera to a digital compact user?

As a digital compact owner, I would like to have an DSLR
just as a DSLR owner would like to have a digital compact as a standby camera beside his/her existing DSLR… so the the list of prizes for DSLR make more sense… either get lens or a compact!

Anyway, let’s look INTO the four powershots listed as prizes…

• f = 6.0 - 60.0 mm
• 10x optical zoom
• F2.8-4.3

• 20x Optical zoom
• F2.8 - F5.7 (max)
• 13 elements in 11 groups (1 UD and 1 single-sided UA element)
• Ultra Sonic Motor (USM)

PowerShot A2100 IS

• 36 - 216mm (35mm equiv)
• 6x optical zoom
• F3.2-5.9

PowerShot A1100 IS
