My baby is on it’s way!!!!!!!!
When returning from Stockholm this evening I had to step over all the advertising leaflets inside my door and normally they just go straight to the recycling bin – but for some reason I sat down and looked at one of them and there it was – the pick of the week.
Canon Powershot SX50HS – a camera I have been looking at for a while – and the price was too good to let it go; 2990SEK/352$/212£/257€. So in 3 days’ time or the beginning of next week I will have my new baby to play with. I’m so excited – just can’t wait to get my hands on it.
The camera is too big for my bags I normally use when being dressed formal, I think. So my little powerful Powershot SX100 will still be working.
So folks be prepered – because now there will be some serious photo going to be posted. Maybe with this the camera I have to read the manual. *smile

Hooray!! I’m thrilled for you – almost as much as if it were me. Enjoy!
Thank you so … much!!!!! Hopefully I will have it on Monday.
Ha ha ha, you got me! I saw the preview came on to read the rest and say congrats. lol Nice camera though.
Thank you … for taking time to stop by and to comment. So thrilled. *smile
🙂
…. yes, a big smile – it has arrived!
🙂
Very niiiiiiiiiice! Fun times ahead Viveka 😉
Yes, Suzanne …. very NIIiIiiIiIIiiiiiiiIice!
I saw a video on YouTube … and the guy with the camera stood on the street and could take clear shots of people on the top of Empire State. That will do me – just bring the beauty in our world closer to me. *smile
Have fun with you new camera – I can understand you excitement. The best you can do is really to live by the quote of Jerry Uelsmann.
Otto, thank you so much ….. I have never bothered with reading a camera manual ever – this maybe I have to give some time. Cameras are so expensive here in Sweden – have compare prices and the price I got it for is a true barging. I promise to explore. *smile
Hooray!! I’ve considered this over the usual DSLR, so let us know how you like it 🙂
Have a Canon SLR, – but I became so sick of always carry all lenses with me – it was like going on safari every time I took it with me.
This is still light – 475gr – but a bit bigger than what I carry around today. If it can bring the moon to closer to me, I will be very pleased. *smile – Awesome lens.
The moon is such a pain too, I always have the hardest time capturing it. Sounds like you have quite the adventure ahead 🙂
Yes, I’m sure the camera will be a challenge for me .. too much fancy bits. But anything to make my hand steady is a mega plus. Video, I’m not really into. Like a child the night before Christmas now.
I can picture you with a cup of warm cider by the door eagerly waiting XD
How exciting!!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to get a camera where I could see the moon clearly. 🙂 Let us know how much you love it!
You know me, Colleen … I’m not so fussed about all the modern cons – but if anything brings the moon closer to us – I’m all for it.
Can’t wait to get my hands on it – this is my belated Christmas present to myself. The price is more than right.
I suppose Canon is releasing a new one in 14 days time.
Ah……well then it’s a good time to catch this deal! I’m excited for you! I can’t wait to see the new pictures.
Oh, exciting! Hope you will have fun with it – and of course let us see all the fun too…
Yes, I will … it arrived today – going to the post office now. It’s going to be a playful weekend. And next time we two have a date – have to be soon – he will come along. Miss you!
Enjoy!!!!
Helen, thank you so much!!!!
Looking forward to some magical photos from your new toy. Your photos are already exceptionally beautiful, I can’t imagine what’s coming.
Bebs, I will be aiming for the moon *smile
Thank you so much for your support and lovely comment.
Congrats! Yay for new toys. Looks like a fab camera, Aaron and I are very fond of Canon lenses, they’re made of great stuff! xx
I had a fantastic Olympus camera my first years over in UK, but I have always been impressed my Canon – so my first serious camera was a Canon, but I became feed up carry all the lenses with me – and it was eating film. Then I bought my little powershot (refurbished from Canon on Ebay) for nearly nothing and it has taken 17.000 shots, but it has started to play up a bit. So I will use it when the handbag is too small for my new baby. I’m so excited … bring it on. *smile
Lovely Viveka… so glad for you, but do read the manual…
Rob, I promise …. and I have to learn how to use a camera manually too. Not only on Auto mood.
I have always loved your photos…they should really be something special with your new toy. Sounds like a terrific price, good for you.
Yes, I’m so excited …. over this camera. And the lens is out of this world. I will be able to stand on my balcony and take photos on the spring flowers that is blooming in our backyard.
They sold it for about €120 cheaper than other shops, but you know how it’s – after 14 days it’s already out of fashion and they have launched something even more exciting.
sweet! it’s awesome getting a new camera. a new toy!!! YAY!
YEeEEeEs! Got the note this morning – that it will be at the post this afternoon. So it’s going to be a playful weekend, that superlens is going to get it’s run for the money.
If I can take such a close up image of the moon .. I should be able to stand at Landskrona’s shore side and take photos on the little island Ven – that is only 4,5 kilometer away. So that is my mission for the weekend. *smile So excited.
