Numbered Days

I’m not a serious photographer who likes to fiddle with F-stops and interchangeable lenses. As I’ve written before, however, my Canon A620 has become dated; I hardly use it because its features are barely superior to those of my cellphone and certainly don't merit lugging around an extra device.

A new Canon, the S95, just may have the right mix of performance, price, and features, especially low-light capability. According to tech writer David Pogue, the S95 “can take amazing, sharp pictures in low light without the flash.” I’m gagging a little over the $400 price, so I’ll wait until the price comes down a bit. But the A620’s days are numbered.
