New camera - first pictures

We bought a new camera last week since our old one had a scratched lens with dirt on the inside. After doing much research, I decided to go for a Canon PowerShot SX130 IS. I like that it is a little bigger than most compact cameras, so I have better grip. The flash is very powerful and it has 10x optical zoom. And I love that it can take pictures as close as 1cm (less than half an inch) to an object!

Here are some of the first pictures and videos...click on the picture to see it full size!

Gabriel wasn't too sure about the new camera and wouldn't let me take his picture!

Gotcha!

Handsome young man...

He found some treasures...

Chickens!

 My new favorite picture!

 

Silly faces...he was making cow licks (and horse licks, chicken licks, dog licks etc.) in his hair.
