The third-generation PowerShot G10 is a stunning successor, loaded with uncompromising specs like 14.7 megapixels, a 28mm wide-angle lens, and Canon's new DIGIC 4 Image Processor for notably improved face and motion detection. This is a camera that supports and nurtures creativity, with a full range of shooting and recording modes and compatibility with exciting accessories including Speedlite flashes.

Hmmm I guess this camera is just perfect for me as a budding-architect-to-be. I'm not going to be a professional photographer though I am so into photograph. My passion is architecture. So, this cam is just nice to take all those magnificent buildings' pictures and also for cam-whoring. weee~

Well this model is one of the latest model of canon. so the price is still much higher than it should be. I would still wait about a couple of months for it to be lower. and fortunately my brother is in Japan now. the price is far more reasonable there. so I'll just ask him to buy it for me. no big deal.

After my last baby has crashed during my visit to Langkawi before this, I've been so lonely without it. but, my new baby will come to me next year so , I won't have to have the solitary life anymore. *wink*
