All taken with a Canon SX70 HS camera I bought on Saturday

I've had 4 Sony digital cameras, but the last one broke around Christmas. I've been shopping for months, never found the PERFECT ONE, and so made a desperation buy before going on vacation next week. I'm using mostly the Auto settings at the moment. The first day I was unsure, but now I am getting a feel for how it works. Haven't read the manual - that will come later when I have time to sit still.
It's relatively low risk at $550 for 20 megapixels and 65x power zoom. It suits my journalistic needs and will work from the deck of a cruise ship. When we come back I may spring for another, more "pro" camera. But I am liking it for now...

and it's hard not to have noticed the changes in your photos... certainly you found a camera [and pace] that suites you at the moment... i.e. the Canon PowerShot SX70 HS is a 20.1MP compact camera with a 65x optical zoom (not electronic zoom)... 35mm equi...
