I managed to snatch a few pictures just as I arrived at work this morning. All the photos were taken from exactly the same spot. ( Behind this cut... )

As is always the way with digital gadgets, the Canon PowerShot is far more powerful, has many more features and cost quite a bit less than I paid for the Olympus a couple of years ago.

However, the little Olympus has not been retired. Oh, no! Firstly it's far smaller than the Canon. Though I did bring it in to work with me today, I'm not going to lug a big camera around with me all the time. But I don't want to miss out on any chance pictures I happen to see. Secondly the Olympus is weatherproof. I know April and the beginning of May has been abnormally dry, but I often end up going for walks or taking pictures for G in the drizzle. I don't think the light plasticky body of the Canon would be good in adverse weather conditions.

And now, of course, I need to learn how to get the best out of the Canon. It's just as well I'm on a course that will help me. *g*

My new camera arrived! It's a Canon PowerShot S3 IS.

When I got home yesterday, I found a card saying that the carrier had tried to deliver a parcel, which I knew had to be the camera. The card said I had to phone a number to arrange for delivery on another day. There were also dire warnings about how they would only try to deliver twice, after that they would return the package to sender. ( More than you probably want to know about parcel deliveries... )
