My Dream Camera is Canon PowerShot S6 IS. It is not released yet, but I hope that it will be released in 2008.
Started from 2005, I had been keeping an eye on Canon PowerShot S2 IS until Canon released PowerShot S3 IS. At that time, my dream camera was PowerShot S5 IS which I expected it would be released in 2008. But who knows Canon skipped PowerShot S4 IS and launched PowerShot S5 IS in this year. Therefore I still sticked on my dream that I want to have PowerShot S6 IS in 2008.
Canon PowerShot S1/S2/S3 and S5 IS are high-power-zoom prosumer digital camera. I wish to have the latest model in this series because of the experience that I have got from using Olympus C740 which is also a high-power-zoom prosumer digicam (10X).
Prosumer stands for Professional Consumer. A prosumer camera allow me to have manual control of the camera which I need to practise my photography skill. Please look at my previous post - Light in the Night for more special effect photos, and you will understand. A compact camera doesn’t allow me to produce this kind of pictures.
I am currently using Olympus C740 and satisfied with it performance. I have just finished discovering, studying and getting used to all the features, functions and buttons etc. SiewPeng also told me that If I have got the Canon PowerShot now, the Olympus camera will be very sad.
One of my friends told me that I should actually get a DSLR, but I think it is too bulky, and I have to change the lenses all the time. Now it’s not the time for me to get a DSLR, I will practice my photography skill using a Prosumer + High-Power-Zoom DigiCam first, before I get a DSLR.
A DSLR will be in my dream items list after I have improved my photography skill.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackOne of my best friends asked me, why I choose Canon PowerShot S6 IS instead of Canon EOS series, the followings are my answers:-
I used EOS 500 before (with film but not digital) It’s too bulky and I have to carry a big camera bag with different lenses inside because I got 2 lenses + a wide angle converter + filters, therefore I’m looking for a more compact but with high power zoom camera and manual control features.
Of course the DSLR is the professional choice, but when travelling I prefer to enjoy myself looking at the real world through my eyes instead of through the camera. Did you have an experience that when you go somewhere and you take a lot of photo, but actually did not enjoy much because of carrying a camera? I notice that the more photos I took, the more time I wasted on looking through the camera instead of enjoying the scenery with my own eyes.
Thanks for your feedback
I think I felt the same way that end-up I did not enjoy much during travelling. It’s because I wants to snap the moments on every scene. Even now, I plan to get a HDD-VideoCam. I think I can imagine what will happen later on.
I hope you will get your Canon PowerShot S6 IS in few more days… 2008.
Happy New Year 2008!
Ha… This model is not released yet. I’m still waiting for its release. Probably in May or June, as usual.
In photography, you probably heard of the 360 panoramic view. I bet u do.

I think you might like it.
PS: I think the S6 is postponed.
Thanks for your information. I just know about it right after you told me. It’s a great invention.
Canon PowerShot S5 IS has been replaced by Canon PowerShot SX1 IS and SX10 IS. Now my dream camera is Canon PowerShot SX1 IS.
My dream camera appear already, but I am not ready to have it yet. Life is not easy without sufficent $, life is not difficult too if we can overcome our greediness. Get what we should get with a right way, at the right time is not called greediness, but it is called “desire”. I hope the right time can come soon.
Dream come true !!! We have got it weeks ago.
