@nac Have you tried out the camera case given free. The case I got says it's for sx120/sx210. I tried fitting in my camera, its a little tight fit. I checked with the vendor as well as a few other stores, it was the same sx120/sx210 case that was being given free.

Alternatively, for my canon sx130, can anyone suggest a good carry case that can fit in my camera a couple of batteries and a memory card?

Reddead,
I like the vibrant orange flower but not the backdrop and sunlight is too bright.

Skr,
Good that you have found a way to get desired tone using flash.
Did you see snap I posted which has the things I received along with camera?

The pouch I received didn't say any model no. but has Canon logo (That's my profile picture). And the camera fits comfortably. It fits camera and a small pocket like thing inside the pouch to keep memory card. And they have given something belt loop behind the pouch, I don't know the intended purpose may be to hold batteries. But if we keep 'em there, definitely we will loose 'em.

Excellent capture Kapil, very detailed shot.

the colours in macros are due to my newly bought an Old manual Nikkor lens.

By the way can anyone tell me as to how I can take the below kind of pictures using my canon sx130. Wether it is possible? Basically the subject has to be clear and background rushing. Something like capturing a fast moving car that will give me a clear picture of the car but the background must be stretched as below.

PLEASE NOT: THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN FROM ANOTHER SITE FOR REPRESENTATION PURPOSES ONLY.

well its like when u take a pic of a waterfall setting the shutter speed to say 1/1000 sec will freeze the water but when u set it to say 1/500 sec the water is kinda blurry so in ur context u want find that shutter speed that blurrs the background while keep the subject in focus sharp

@prabhu.wali Ok. So depending on the speed of the subject we have to decide on the shutter speed. Is there any rule to determine this or just trial and error. And is it only the shutter speed adjustment that will give me this effect?

yes,it is dependent on the speed of the subject for ex i can blurr the ceiling fan at 1/100 sec and freeze at 1/500 so for the second image u posted set the aperture such that the subject(the person standing) is in focus and adjust the shutter speed such that u blurr the background

I wish I had faster wide angle lens something like 20mm 2.8 wide night shots using 18-55 handholded is just crap :(
