Best Digital Camera Review : Canon Powershot SX210 IS Digital Camera

Things to Consider when you are buying a digital Camera:

Buying a Digital Camera is an investment and it is important to do some research before you make that purchase! I love writing reviews about products that I have bought and I wanted to concentrate on some of the electronic products that I have bought in the past year. One of those was the Canon Powershot SX210 IS Digital camera.

  • Angle Type

One of the most important things to consider when you are looking to buy a digital camera is the digital cameras ability to zoom on your subject, thus enabling you to get the best from your picture or recording. The Canon Powershot SX210 IS was released in February 2010 and has done really well, specifically because it is really sleek and handy to bring around. One of the key technical points to consider about this camera is the ability to zoom while you are recording, this means that as you are recording and zooming you will maintain a high quality of sound and image. If you want to have flawless recording quality of those special moments the 14x 28mm wide-angle genuine Canon Lens provides real benefit and is a serious consideration when making the purchase. This Canon Digital Camera also has image stabilisation.

  • What about megapixel?

When you are buying a Digital Camera an important topic that arises is megapixel? How many etc The Canon Powershot SX210 IS Digital Camera has a 14.1 Megapixel with compact and what this means is that the camera is great for capturing detail from landscapes and distant subjects.  The stabilizer in this Digital Camera allows for blur free images no matter what the focal lengths are!

So why buy the Canon Powershot SX210 IS Digital Camera? Well apart from my personal experience and all of the great reviews received this camera allows the photographer to get really close to the action. The user can opt to use the Auto option or the manual option if you are feeling more confident and creative! Another great feature is you can easily upload your pictures and photos with the free web up-loader software.

  • What if the light is not right?

Don’t worry the Powershot SX210 IS Digital Camera has a low light mode making it great in situations that you don’t want a flash or low lit rooms. This Digital Camera has an intelligent contrast correction that automatically adjusts for best picture quality.

I have to say of all the cameras I have had over the years I found this to be the best! I am not a big photographer but there are important times when I have used the camera like at school plays, weddings and other family events.

It is good to know that this product has had great customer reviews over the past year and has a high score of 4.5 in Amazon!

Book Review – One Child : Torey Hayden

A friend of mine gave me a book a few months back to read, she said it was a great book, like me she is an avid reader! Once I picked up this book by Torey Hayden called “One Child” I was stuck on it straight away! As a mother of two anything to do with children be it good or bad grabs my attention as this is where I am in my life at the moment!

If you are looking for a quick but gripping read I would highly recommend this book!

Basically without giving too much away the book is about Ms Hayden’s experience as a special needs teacher in the US, this book deals specifically with her relationship with her student Sheila, who is from a poor part of town, who has not had much luck or love has suffered major child abuse on so many levels, as a result her behavior has got her into trouble, to the point that she harms another child and is looking at spending time in an institution. Without giving too much away Sheila ends up in the care of Torey Hayden, (Educational Psychologist), who spends time getting to know this disturbed and fragile child.

If you like true life stories written by the people who were there and have a real life experience then I dare you not to like this read. Generally it is not too gruesome but there are references to awful abuse suffered by Sheila, however it makes for real life reading and I enjoyed every minute, so much that I am onto the second book, the follow up from one Child, called Tiger’s Child.

This is a book by a great Author who is able to translate her feelings and experiences to the reader in a human fashion.

ORDER NOW One Child

New Year – New You

This is the time of year that we all start to make new resolutions for a new year! I know that mine are to continue with frugal living and also to improve on my self-image and personal health and quality of life!

Most of us want to shift the pounds from all the overindulgence in the holidays and most of us will be short of a bob or two! There are ways to combine both of these resolutions! The whole point of sharing these posts is to help people put there who may need advice and ideas! So if you feel you would like to ad to any suggestions we make here at Jenny’s Frugal finds please feel free to comment!

A few ideas that we came up with include:

Cutting out fizzy drinks and alcohol for the month of January! You will find that by the time you have reached February your waist will have shrunk and you won’t have spent so much on alcohol or fizzy drinks, and you will be minding your teeth which in the long run saves on dentist visits!

Other ways of cutting down for your waist and your budget is to cut down on your portion sizes! Eating your food slowly and actually taking the time to enjoy every bite you will find that you will be more satisfied at the same time as taking in less calories! Rather than eating out it is good to stay in and eat at home! You can still entertain at home and this is a lot more cost effective! Plus you are fully aware of what is going into the food that you are preparing! Why not look up some of the search engines and find recipes for food that you would normally have at a restaurant!

Exercise is vitally important in the quest to lose weight! This can also be done on any budget, you don’t have to be a member of a gym to work out! There are great videos on You Tube with great exercises! Why not set targets and make a plan for each week! Take it step by step and that way you will be able to reach your long term target easier!! Walking, running, aerobics can all be done outside the gym environment! All you need are good trainers and good resolve!

Why not share your experience here and let us know what you are doing to work off the weight, we especially love to hear about ideas that don’t cost the earth! It’s also not a bad idea to invest in some home equipment and these items can be bought at really good prices, jennysfrugalfinds will be reviewing what’s hot this month in terms of exercise videos and home gym equipment!!

The upshot of all of this is essentially to make resolutions that will improve your life and its quality for both you and your family! We will be doing our bit here and will keep you posted on weekly progress! So keep the faith live frugal and live happy!

Please share your thoughts with us on Facebook or post your comment here! Thanks for reading!
