Today, I gave in to my temptation and bought a new Canon PowerShot S5 IS, which is making Yuvi envy. 
I have already started taking some snaps and it looks really awesome.
It is less than two years back that I bought a new Olympus cam. But during my last Photowalk, I realized that I have hit the limitations of the cam. Since then I was looking to buy a new cam. Initially I was looking to buy a DSLR but the price factor kept it away from my reach. I was looking for other options and Yuvi suggested S5. I read some reviews and then immediately I made up my mind.
The following are the specifications
- 8.0 MegaPixels
- 12X Optical Zoom
- 2.5 Inch LCD
- 6.0-72.0 mm focal length
- f/2.7-3.5 Aperture
- Variable Aperture and Shutter speed.
You can read the full specification in the official page.
In addition to the Cam, I also bought two 2 GB cards and two sets of rechargeable batteries (again Yuvi’s recommendation)
PS: Leaving to Ooty for a small vacation over the weekend and hoping to be back with some real good photos.

Yvui, my 17-year-old-wannabe-geek cousin has achieved something really admirable. He has become the first Indian to be on the Techmeme Leaderboard.
His stat’s blog – thestatbot which he started last month is currently at position 76 in the Techmeme Leaderboard (as I am writing this blog entry) and has already been mentioned by TechCrunch. It is a remarkable achievement for a blog which is less than 2 months old. Congrats Yuvi 
and all the best with thestatbot.

It’s nice to know that I have inspired my Cousin Yuva to blogging. He has just started his blog. He is just 14 years old but a way ahead of the kids of his age. (His blog will prove that)
He just told me that he is into a new project called BaBIE (Build a Better Internet Explorer). A browser combined with the best features of IE and Firefox. He has more details about this at his blog.
Welcome to blogging Yuva and best wishes for your BaBIE
