A Tale of Two Cameras

My grandson is now living in New York. He recently came out for a visit. His entire family would be going to the Philippines over Christmas/New Year, and he wanted a small, very portable camera that he could use while travelling. I only had one camera that fit the bill: My trusty eight-year-old Sony RX100 M3.

Although it was a bit of a sacrifice I gave it to him.

I then immediately ordered the most recent version: a Sony RX100 MVII. So not so much of a sacrifice after all. For a review of this camera see here. So far I’ve been very pleased with it.

Below: the two cameras. On left the Sony RX100 M3 and on the right the Sony RX100 MVII

I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas

December 21 was a snowy day in Briarcliff Manor. Now that was a surprise! I knew that we would have some snow, but the weather forecasts were predicting around one inch. It turned out that 3 inches was closer to the mark. Still, that’s not enough to cause much fuss around here. The 22nd brought maybe another inch of snow. Since it was cold and unlikely to get much warmer before Christmas, it looked likely that we’d have a White Christmas! This was, indeed, the case.
