On the weekend i upgraded my camera to the new Canon IXY Digital 2000is replacing the existing Canon IXY Digital 1000 i had. There`s nothing wrong with my existing camera but living in Japan and having toys like these so cheap and close to hand it`s hard not to upgrade to the latest model when they hit the stores. One of the major reasons i bit the bullet was the new `Image Stabilisation` feature … this will come in handy as it`s probably my biggest issue taking photos to date.
I`ve taken some great photos over the last 12 months, through my travels in Japan, Seoul and more recently Taipei, however my favourite photo would have to be when i was back in Australia at the beginning of the year.
Out on a Friends boat with a heap of mates we cruised out from Docklands into Port Phillip Bay, the music was cranked up as were the beers …. so was Mousee, dancing up a storm at the front of the boat. I`ll be looking forward to some of these good times when i`m back there in around 4 weeks time for my Xmas.
Unfortunately i had to scale the photo back incredibly to get it in the blog but i`m sure you`ll get the idea.
In case you’re wondering if it’s worth entering or not, here’s a few details on the Camera;
The Digital IXY 1000 features:
- Titanium body with Perpetual Curve design and Touch Control Dial
- 10.0 Megapixels and 3x optical zoom
- DIGIC III with Advanced Noise Reduction and Face Detection AF/AE
- Digital Tele-Converter and Safety Zoom for extra telephoto reach
- 2.5” super-high resolution LCD with wide viewing angle
- ISO 1600 for flash-free low light shooting
- 18 shooting modes including XGA movies
- My Category automatic image tagging
- Range of optional accessories including Underwater Case
Over the coming days i`ll roll out a competition and find the lucky recipient of the `Old` camera. Be sure to check back often and get all the details.

Well, I already have an Olympus SP510Uz which I am very happy with.

I’m still keen to know what a guy has to do to win a camera?
Or get on your blogroll.
Love the pic, Duck. Unmistakably Melbourne with the Bolte Bridge in the background. I can understand that Tokyo is good but Melbourne in summertime can’t be beat.
Are we going to see a contest for this soon?

Yeah, great pic…before reading, I was thinking, wow…man Tokyo really has it going on, and you are one lucky guy!
Tokyo does have it going on Nathan but it a very different way to Melbourne … i don’t find myself doing too much during the days here and even if i did it wouldn’t compare to a lot of the things i did back home .. still both have there advantages. I am one lucky guy though.
The Bolte Bridge could be mistaken for the Rainbow Bridge in Odaiba in Tokyo.
i could use one, my old one is acting up and doesnt work most of the time, cant even take decent monthly weight loss photos.
Will have the details in the next day or so Israel.
Looks like a nice camera. Just got here from entrecard
