A couple weeks ago I came across the following video, taken at a Monster car rally. The photography is beautiful, and the music matches the video nicely.

Keith Loutit (the photographer) has posted several other tilt-shift videos to his Vimeo account. You can find more example of Keith’s work over on his site.

We had considered going with a Canon SD750, but after playing with one for awhile, we grew to really hate the Canon’s “iPod-esque” thumbwheel. I don’t know what the Canon engineers were thinking when they designed that feature, but it just doesn’t work on a camera.

Panasonic seems to be making some great cameras these days, which is why we’ve stuck with the brand. Our new FS3 is a true point-and-shoot, takes great photos both indoors and out, and is very pocketable. Another bonus: it takes great photos at high-ISO settings, with much less noise than I expected. I’ll post some of our photos on my Flickr page in the next day or two. The price was right too: $199 CDN at the local Best Buy (and as we discovered later, Black’s Cameras sells them for $189). Here’s a review of the FMC-FS3 over at Digital Camera Review.
