Great shot.
Thanks. We are in the "elderly" category and decided to get a puppy. It's been a fun year!
(In case any wonder, there is a care plan in place with our son and granddaughters if we get too old too soon!)

Basically hi-tech "paint by numbers!" LOL
Try it. Paint by numbers had some precision and discipline when I tried it. This is more like scribbling with extra fat crayons.
Daisy got a few weeks older and found that hiding under the couch was effective.
I scribbled a little sky, water and forest and got this for a first try.
I (mistakenly) landed my drone in a fountain. It was underwater about a minute. I blew as much water off of it that I could will compressed air. Then I covered it with rice in a sealed bowl for a few days. I now works fine.

I agree, the Sony RX100 M7 is the way to go for traveling. I have that camera and love it. The light weight and compactness really make things effortless.
I agree too. But more is that small cameras get better travel pictures because they are less obtrusive.

Thanks! Never tried but when I purge the cache in LR6 even that has a purge video option giving me the impression it does video.
I've been incorporating video in my hybrid camera habit for a long time. My camera cards almost always have a mix of stills and videos. Moving files from the card to my computer and keeping track of them has been done with Lightroom exclusively. When 6 was current, I was using it for that.
What may be different or improved are the viewing and editing capabilities in later versions.
My carry now is a Sony RX100 VII and a DJI Mini 3 Pro. I limit prints to 13x19 so the small sensors get it done well.

Thank you for responding. I have Windows 11. I have looked at both Clipchamp and Cap Cut, but haven't tried out either. I did download cap cut, but it seems it will take some time to learn the ins and outs. I am current using Lightroom classic. Not sure if that will do everything I need it to do.
If you are using Lightroom Classic and comfortable with it, stick with the Slideshow module. Not well known, but it does video! You can watch Adobe's Terry White explain it. Unless you really want to learn complex video editing, do it the way Terry explains.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Etkk5VnUeYYThe short version is that you can make basic adjustments to your video clips in the Library module. That includes minor color correction and trimming the length of clips.
Then you make a collection of your trimmed clips and stills. With that collection, you got to the slideshow module.
Most don't ever seem to say that their first video feels friendly and easy!
If you have a windows computer, the current and included offering from Microsoft is called ClipChamp. You can still get what they call the "legacy Photos" app with video capability built in.
If you have a Apple computer, the current and included offering is called iMovie.
CapCut is currently popular and the free version is very good. It comes from the TikTok people. I think there are versions for everything from phones up.
Another free app is Davinci Resolve. It is loved by all that choose to become videographers. The features are so numerous that it will appear to have a steep learning curve. But, sticking to a basic video creation workflow makes it easy enough.
I think the single app that tries to be the easiest of all is called Premiere Elements. Its from Adobe and, for this app, they make every effort to target the home and family movie maker. It is $100.
If you know and already have Lightroom classic it is relatively easy to use the Slideshow module to make composite videos that combine stills with video.
Explain more about what gear you have, the software you have, the source of the photos and your intentions and you'll get more precise advice.

I have a ton of old photos which are taking up too much space. Friends, can I get any recommendations for a high quality fast scanner? Must be Mac and PC compatible. Thank you in advance. Poto
Your post says "photos" so I will assume you mean prints, not slides or negatives. If so, I strongly recommend the EpsonĀ® FastFoto FF-680W.
I live in a retirement community and our photography group bought one to share. It works very well on those shoeboxes full of prints. It does a straight scan, will create an optional color corrected extra file and, if it detects writing on the back, will scan that too.
It is fast and accepts a stack of prints. The instructions suggest that you should make stacks of similar sized prints.
How are you editing the footage from six cameras? Were the four camcorders "standardized"?
