We read all about Steve from machinesthatgobing.com thoughts on the Canon Spring collection yesterday, but today it’s time for a few insights from Benjamin Ellis, one of the other social media experts on hand to try out the cameras on display.

Focussing on the Canon PowerShot D10 decked in camouflage (pictured below courtesy of Jen), he begun “Now, if you don’t like its looks, don’t worry. That’s a clip on cover, so you can change the appearance if the camouflage isn’t to your personal taste”. Indeed, “Love or loath the looks, you have to respect this little camera’s capabilities!”

And respect them he did, proving to be very impressed with the waterproof and shockproof nature of the Canon Powershot D10. “I was feeling bad about dropping it so many times, right up until the moment someone had the idea of filming it falling down a set of stairs”. The picture below, and a number of others, are available on his flickr account. Or check out Jen’s work over here as she deemed it “nearly indestructable”.

Overall, Ben suggested this was “a very impressive piece of technology [he’ll] be recommending to my skiing/rock climbing/canoeing/diving friends.” Read his full post and comment here.
