Icy Austin and my new G7

[photophorous]

I'm a winner! Seriously. Come on...stop laughing. It's undisputable. I won the review contest, and PJ sent me a Canon Powershot G7. :thumbsup: How lucky is that? I never win anything.

Today Austin is under half an inch of ice and I'm stuck at home, so I thought this would be a good time to play with my new toy. Here are a few pictures from my yard. The image stabilization is very nice, but I think my shivering tested its limits.

The camera seems very capable over all. I have to agree completely with every thing I've read about its excellent build quality. The controls are very logical, the 6x zoom covers a nice range, and I love the image stabilization. Picture quality seems good, but I haven't done my part to see how good it can really be.

I hope everyone else is staying warm. Down here in Texas, everything shuts down when we get ice. It's nice not having to go to work, but if I don't get out of the house soon, I'm going to go crazy.
