CANON EOS 550D

JAMIE SAYS:"I was flying a kite at Marina Barrage and saw these women trying to fly this massive kite."

"I grabbed the light and portable Canon EOS 550D, which was slung around my neck."

"I just snapped, using its high speed continuous-shooting function, which allows the user to take up to 3.7fps."

"Voila! the shot was perfect, with the kite right in the centre of the Singapore Flyer."

"The camera also boasts full-HD (1920x1080) video recording and advanced video controls, making it an affordable piece of multi-media equipment."

CANON IXUS 130

JAMIE SAYS:"The Ixus 130 was user-friendly, and the fish-eye and miniature effects take point-and-shoot photography to a whole new fun level."

"These effects allow for quirky angles that used to be possible only with special lenses on DSLRs."

"This meant that using the camera to photograph baby Emma was a great experience."

"The auto white balance was accurate, even though I was shooting her indoors under mixed lighting."

"While the contrast between her dress and the sofa was stark, the camera retained fabric details, while still making the colours pop."
