A Reason to Hike
Monday, December 26, 2011 at 5:03PM Who really needs a reason to hike? I was lucky enough to get a new camera for Christmas, the Canon s100. It's a much smaller form factor than the Nikon d300 I lug around, and I wanted to see how it would perform on the trails. I took it out on a test drive on the first part of the EB Mud Redwood trail, which doesn't actually have a lot of Redwoods. It's mostly Bay Trees and a smattering of Oaks. We've had a dry winter so far, but there were still a lot of ferns, and heavy moss on the trees. The s100 includes a GPS logger, so you can see the images on a map here. Final verdict? I like the lightness of the s100, and the images are beautiful, but I have a bit more flexibility with the d300. However, the s100 has HD video, HDR mode, and a bunch of other cool features. I guess I'll have to keep experimenting...
