Good day to you all. Stuck my head out the window and it seems a touch above freezing. Too dark to see frost or not.

Now I like Christmas. We're going to neighbour's for lunch, kids will be home etc. We will have a good time but........the time for me to find a present or two for Mrs P is rapidly approaching. :cry:

A couple of years ago we had a deal. Mrs P suggested we don't buy each other presents. Result! Christmas Day I have 4-5 little parcels, Mrs P "well I only meant big presents." This was not a good day for Paul. I'm such a literal person.........

Mrs P has done it again this year "As we are getting a new camera we can call that our present to each other." This year I won't be quite so literal. :laugh:

What camera? Quite enjoy a bit of photography too when the mood comes over me. I’ve got a decent DSLR and lenses when I want to attempt any serious stuff and a nice little Sony compact for my pocket when I want something light.

Bit of a change in the weather this morning. A few degrees above freezing, but it’s currently raining:rain:

Barnet,
Morning all fellow retirees, a nice frosty start to the day here, a temperature of -1 outside.
It will be a good day for a long dog walk after which a cycle up to the shops for a few essentials.
MrsP has just left for work and then she is going to her friends place straight after for a spa afternoon/evening at Centre Parc Woburn. Her friend is an Elf at Santa's grotty grotto there this year and has got a really cheap deal for £5 each. This means I have the day to myself and the dog and cats. ;)

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

My wife will decide as she is the one with both the knowledge and ability. I'm very much a point and shoot user.

She has a quality DSL which is rarely used now. Mrs P wants a compact camera for our Vietnam trip. I'm not convinced but as I day I'm point and shoot.

Which Sony do you have? Any particular good/bad points?
Cybershot RX100 v7. Expensive but reasonable zoom range and really tiny for tucking away in a pocket so you are far more likely to have it with you at all times.
