Prizes

That’s right, it’s new prize time. We’ve got the fantastic new Canon PowerShot G15 camera to giveaway!

The Canon Powershot G15 has finally arrived, and brings with it a level of sophistication we love in the fixed lens compact space. It sports a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, a powerful DIGIC 5 processor, 5x optical zoom and an amazing lens which rocks an f/1.8-2.8 aperture. It’s sleek, stylish and beautifully retro with the ridged lens hood, pop-up flash and nested dials, and it’s a winner when it comes to user friendliness.

The Canon Powershot G15 is valued at $599.95, and we’re thrilled to be giving this one away to the Gizmodo Shooting Challenge faithful for our last challenge of the year.

We’ll be running this challenge over two weeks. The finalists from each week will go head to head in the final and the winner will be selected by Gizmodo editors for the grand prize!

This Week’s Challenge: Power

To celebrate the great new PowerShot camera we’re giving away for the final shooting challenge of the year, this week’s theme is Power.

Lightning, transformers, muscles, cords, skyscrapers, monster machines: all of these fit into this week’s theme. We want you to show us something truly powerful.
