A few days ago Canon launched their new campaign-“Your Second Shot” @ the Morrison Hotel Gallery in NYC. The evening featured cocktails, product demos and a lively performance from The Postelles (my new favorite band btw).
The campaign celebrates the release of Canon’s new HS System technology that allows you to take high quality pictures in low light situations. The cameras on display for the evening were the Canon G12 (retails for about $500) & Canon PowerShot SD4500 IS (retails for about $350). Some lucky folks (moi 
) were blessed with their own Canon PowerShot SD4500 IS as a souvenir during the evening. I’m looking forward to taking my Canon PowerShot SD450o IS for a spin. I’ll give you a thorough breakdown in a few days. Check out some flicks from the event shot on the Canon PowerShot SD4500 IS. Crispy right? -!YG
