Test-driving the P & S at Clare and Elmer's Wedding

After days of waiting, I finally received my christmas present for myself - a point & shoot camera. I have searched for months for the right P & S to get for the times when I don't want to be lugging around a heavy gear and finally settled with a Canon P & S.

Yesterday we attended Clare and Elmer's wedding at the beautiful Immaculata Church inside the University of San Diego campus and it was the perfect time to test-drive my new toy and see how it would perform (not that I expected it to perform anywhere near my DSLR). Just as expected, beyond ISO 200, photos are unacceptably noisy. I thought of mounting a flash but knew it was going be top-heavy and defeated the purpose of just having a pocket camera with me. Anyway, I thought it performed really well outdoor and it's 28mm equivalent lens was perfect for architectural and landscape shots.

Here are a few photos from yesterday:












Here are a few more sample shots of my new toy at the Fullerton Arboretum today.
