My love for CANON began decades ago with an "A1", then a dream. With the large camera bag, with various lenses, flash, and the like dragged myself with my long-distance trips around the globe "halbtod". The photographic yield: for me as an amateur photographer always well. Well- even getting on in years - this: my new "PowerShot SX40" easy Tip! Thanks AMAZON after a day in the house, convinced immediately. With very modest dimensions opportunities per lot, good and reasonable handling and last but not least a lens with (almost) no limits. Looking forward to my next Distance travel, now without optical heavy luggage but with guaranteed success. But everything in life there's just not direct "panoramic photography" with three immediately zuammengefügten frames - which I love so much - unfortunately, not possible. The recommended build "Stitch Assist" remains a bad compromise! A pity, but is likely to mean in the production not too much effort!
