His New Camera

We finally bought Papa his very own digital SLR camera. It is a Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i with 15.1 megapixel about a month ago. It just that I haven't really have the chance to post it here. He added his own share of the camera that he saved from working at Jenny's house. It is complete with a telephoto lens as well as its very own camera bag/backpack. I haven't really taken Papa out to play with it especially at the reservoir but he has been reading the manual and studying much about it. I like how he can just press one button when he takes nature pictures. We have yet to try it and I am looking forward to it when I get the chance. It surely reminds him of his old camera because the screen in the back automatically shuts off when he tries to peek through the little hole. I guess it has a sensor in it that he has the option to use the screen in the back or use the manual preview. I can't wait to post some of his captures.

All I can say is he so deserved it, for all the things that he has helped us with. He is so excited with his new camera and I am so excited for him.

Canon's CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range and offers the most pixels in its class. It offers many of the same new technologies as used by Canon's professional cameras to maximize each pixel's light gathering efficiency. Its APS-C size sensor creates an effective 1.6x field of view (compared to 35mm format). Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor dramatically speeds up all camera operations for intuitive operation and offers improvements in both fine detail and natural color reproduction. It works in concert with the EOS Rebel T1i's image sensor to achieve unprecedented levels of performance in all lighting situations.

DIGIC 4 Image Processor

With the EOS Rebel T1i, analog to digital signal conversion is executed by a 14-bit processor, which generates digital data with incredibly smooth tones. A feature that originally appeared in top-of-the-line pro digital SLR cameras, the 14-bit conversion gives incredibly smooth transitions from light to dark colors with far less risk of "banding." A sky at sunset is a perfect example. With this rich 14-bit gradation, the EOS Rebel T1i offers RAW images of the highest quality that can be processed with Canon's Digital Photo Professional software. Even JPEG files, which are always finished at 8-bits per channel, use the full 14-bit conversion initially to generate the best possible color and tonal detail.
