NEW TOY
So I got a poor man's RX100 - a used Canon S120 (for $120 incl post) with the teeny 1/1.7 inch sensor.
I'm pretty impressed. Solid build - metal top and bottom. Lot to learn to drive it though.
Should be good for quick photos.
Dinner last night.
Carl: spring rolls, chicken things, wedges
Thygo - stir fry / satay + kanga bangas
Packet cake made by Carl & Thygo last night, iced today, tastes good.

Another NEW TOY - old binoculars (Gumtree special, $30)- object d'art
image quality good and much more comfortable to hold than the new-bought Olympus. Both 8x40. Dad had/has a pair like these older ones when I was young.
thi
OLD TOY - D7500 + (stellar little) AF-P 70-300 DX VR - Crested pigeons from the clothes line. No cropping.
On the Sony RX100 IV it is also too easy to knock the mode dial into something unintended.

that's with the little Canon S120. All the pics except the pigeons are with the Canon. I'm fairly impressed. One of the things that is irritating is the little wheel on the 4 way controller - it is quite hard to move precisely with big fingers and easy to engage 4 way controller functions by accident. It is where exposure compensation plays out in Shutter or Aperture priority. Shame the top wheel wasn't used for that [might be customisable but I haven't read the manual yet].

What camera took the selfie. Quality is good.
I am of course referring to photographic quality, clarity and colour, not subject matter!
Satay Kanga bangers. I don't think satay is enough. Red hot Chili maybe.
