So I’ve had the Sony RX10iv for over a year now. I’m still very impressed with the reach and sharpness all at f4. I’ve always preferred a small form camera and this camera has at this point completely stopped my G.A.S syndrome to upgrade. With my companion compact cameras the Sony RX100vi , Canon G1X Mark iii and the most used recently Canon G5X the small form factors are indeed satisfying. The compact Canons to me , feel so much better in hand then the RX100vi.
The 3 test photos we’re taken at the same spot. 24mm ( wide ) , 600mm and 1200mm ( using the clear image zoom ). I think it’s impressive. It allows me to easily take the last attached three shots with this lightweight compact zoom camera.

The young lady, Elspeth, turned-up at a 'knights and horses' shoot. Her mount was really quite stunning but rather new to all the charging about in a muddy field and ended-up falling over. Fortunately both horse and rider were fine and stayed until the end of the shoot. I thought Elspeth looked quite mysterious in her hooded cloak, designed to hide her riding helmet. Here, they are composited into a background local to me, Agglestone Rock which lies on a bit of raised ground in the middle of Purbeck's Great Heath, not far from the sea. Your critique is always welcome.

My son is in the Air Force and stationed in Germany. Pretty excited about visiting him. We are shipping clothes etc to him ahead of time so we won’t be checking baggage. We want to have as little carry-on as possible. So here’s the question.

My wife and I want to travel with one camera and lens each. Both cameras are full frame. We have about every L series lens that Canon makes. I’m thinking the 17-40 and the 24-105 will cover all the architecture and landscape. I don’t know that a wider or longer lens would be helpful.

Anyone been there and know what lenses or focal length you wish you had with you?

I would not dispute that the NRA probably serves a purpose in educating people in gun safety, and that many stupid gun deaths are by people who are not members of the NRA.

But what I find a bit irresponsible is the resistance from the NRA to do something about the gun problem in the US. Yes, there probably is a big mental health issue behind a lot of the senseless violence, but the 3 instances I mentioned are not likely the result of "mental health issues." I see them as "attitude" issues.

Image was shot in Notre Dame (before the fire) at 1/160s, f.3.8, ISO 25,600. The top image is with the original LR Denoise, the bottom after using LR Denoise AI. Full disclosure, the bottom image also had some additional processing in Photoshop, mostly for additional contrast control. I wouldn't hang either picture on my wall but I wanted to see what the new software could do with a high ISO image. This is the highest ISO image I've ever shot. Just wanted to get some memory of Notre Dame while I was there. What do you think?
