A very good and a very bad day No 2

So the very good this time is a new point and shoot camera.  A Sony Cybershot DSC-HX7V, well that is what it says on the box but I think it is the same as the 9V model.  It has 16.2 Mega pixels 10 x optical zoom Full HD movie and 3D sweep panorama.

It is so good I'm considering not taking my D50 Canon with me on this next trip.  This is so light and easy to put in my pocket. Of course I have been snapping everything in sight.

I haven't worked out how to shoot a movie as yet.

And the very bad,  I got an email from my son saying that I can not travel on the dates I have booked.  He works for an airline and I qualify for staff travel.  Great for saving money but being bumped like this is part of the cost.  I went straight into a tail spin.  It is the NZ leg of the journey that is the problem.  I have decided to get into NZ a couple of days early via Dunedin.  Have a day in the city and then take a train and coach up the back-way to Queenstown.  Actually this could turn into a positive, but it is going to cost more money.

Now if I was suspicious I would be on the lookout for another day like this.

We bought a new camera recently, and have been playing with it in just the same way!

I have to work out that movie function a bit better. Still like my DSLR best.
