Patzer needs a camera
My Lumix camera (above) is officially not working anymore. Being an active chess blogger, I feel really lost without a camera. The recent National Championship blog updates just didn’t feel complete without some digital pictures. Thankfully chess enthusiast - A. D Genius generously gave me some pictures of the prize giving. Otherwise the final result post would be pretty pathetic indeed. Anyway, I’m targeting a new camera before the Malaysian Open this coming August. I’m currently looking at the Canon Powershot A590IS as a replacement. My first camera which I used extensively during the early days of GilaChess.com was a Canon Powershot. The above camera looks a bit bulky but I don’t care. Based on the reviews, the quality and features make this an ideal camera for me. I like the image stabilisation and big LCD screen. The minusses mentioned by online reviews is that the recovery time between flash is about 10 seconds. I don’t mind because since most of the pictures I take is in chess tournament, I will be taking pictures without flash. Current market price for the camera is RM 500.

The powershot is a great camera. Having the optical viewfinder is essential on bright days.
