I'm back from the dead to drop in and check Tony is ok! I was at Segrave when it happened, I've never seen a tank slapper at those speeds before!
Looked nice (and rapid) beforehand though...

Any thoughts of taking photos of anything outside my house and fallen by the wayside for the past month, all good fun though and the little Sony RX1 is just unreal...

The RX100 is expensive because the sensor is big, the lens is top notch and it's very well built. I follow a few guys on Flickr who use them, really lovely look from the photos.
If money is no object the Sony RX100 is top of the pile as far as compacts go, the original is £350 on Amazon, the newest version is double that.
The Panasonic LX7 would probably be next, about £280 on Amazon.
Been working towards this for quite some time...

Thrilled to bits, nearly all my shooting is at 35mm so to have a full-frame set-up that small makes me a very happy boy. It's so much smaller than I had expected and absolutely silent.
Lots: https://www.flickr.com/search/?w=43894860@N00&q=x-e1
Different sensor in the X-E1 vs the original X100, some prefer the colours from the X100 sensor but the differences are fairly minimal in my opinion.
Depends which lens you bolt onto the X-E1, but it's very similar to the X100 operationally and a fair bit quicker. The 23mm 1.4 or 35mm 1.4 on the X-E1 is in my opinion a better set-up than an X100 in terms of image quality, but you lose out on silent shooting, built-in ND filter and size.
Our Infinity was hanging around 0.5mb DL for ages recently (if it worked at all), I think possibly since adding a Synology NAS. Got fed up with the useless BT Customer Service and just bought an AirPort Extreme after doing a bit of research...the difference is unreal, gutted I didn't get one...
Some nice ideas that I would genuinely use. It will do the full fitness tracking thing without messing around with my phone, so useful for my cycling. Also the possibility of live view from my Sony a7 camera (my iPhone/iPad already has an App to livestream what my camera is doing, and then...
I know it's an obligatory cat photo, but I love this, finally captured our little one properly (usually puts a grumpy face on when the camera comes out, the answer was to use a 135mm lens and stalk him from the bushes!)
