Yep thats a St John sunset as seen from Cruz Views.
I use a Cannon Powershot IS2 in the auto mode great camera 12X optical zoom 48X digital with Image stabilization. Can't get it anymoere this is the new model the IS3 . Should be even a better camera than the IS2. I'm guessing this price is starting to bottom out for the IS3 because I got the IS2 for $285 and that was about as low as it got unless ya buy refurbished.http://dpr-cnet.com.com/digital-cameras ... 40582.html?
The pic was probably taken at 12X as I don't use the digital zoom much as the quality starts to degrade.

Small world. I do have the Canon S3IS (I think you flipped the model #s).
Got it over a year ago for $319 for that 12x lens which is equivalent to like a 430mm zoom.
There is actually a S5 model available now with bigger LCD screen and other minor improvements.
Sometimes I wish I had a digital SLR but I think you'll agree these Powershots are more than adequate 95% of the time. Look at the quality of your shot even zoomed out to max.
Besides, been there done that with carrying/changing lenses on a 35mm Canon A1 for 20+ years. That A1 replaced the venerable AE and was the first with stopless electronic metering and 6 exposure modes.
