I purchased this camera yesterday in order to shoot individual photos of oil on canvas paintings to email to potential buyers. I need to know if this camera is the right camera for it? Also, I bike in the trails which has a lot of wildlife and need to know if it takes good shots of far away animals? I also like to take Macro shots.
I have time to return this camera, so I would really appreciate someone who's an expert at cameras to answer my questions. If this is not the right camera, please make a suggestion as to which Canon camera which is compact would suit my needs.
Thank you.
Orlysud,
I am fan of Canon for many-many years - all my gear is Canon. I bought this camera for it's Wifi mostly and sort of disappointed with picture quality - mostly because of the softness of the images.
For you question. The 30x zoom will bring your subjects closer but it will really work only brightly lit high-contrast subjects. Otherwise picture will be blurry either because of ISO set to high or the shake. IS helps but not that much. Birds I would think does not fall in this category.
For the emailing pictures - it can sort of work - but you will need to use your cellphone as intermediary device. I think You would be better served by camera with articulated screen to make it easier to compose. Look at Canon G cameras - they seems to be notch higher in quality. Tip - check Canon website for refurbished cameras - you can get basically new camera for half the price.
