I'm sure he means the Photo Gallery. For quite some time I assumed all new photos showed up in the Digest, but nay I discovered. Lots of good stuff doesn't make it to the Digest for some reason.

I like the attractive reflection and the curve of the branches.
Yeah, that's what caught my eye.
Thanks for lookin'.

I think it's a lovely shot... Perhaps a circular polarizing lens would have given you a bluer sky
Ah so.
That's one of the problems I'm discovering with my little camera. There are no threads for filters. Smooth as a baby's hinny. Do they make slip-on filters?
Those are absolutely fantastic! I can't get over how much many of them look like fine art glass with engravings inside of fern and other plants.

if it were my picture - I would crop out the top portion, right when you start to see sky..... :)
I almost did just that. But it was the doubling effect that I wanted. I need to learn enough PP to darken the upper part to a value closer to that in the pond.
Do I see actual waves out there (tidal bore I think it's called, at least when coming in)?
You still here this morning?
Super focusing! I appreciate it so much more after trying this morning to pan with birds in flight. Gotta be a LOT of practice to get it that sharp.
I took the freshly out of repair Sony HX200V for a walk yesterday so I could re-acquaint myself with what it's shortcomings were. It's still a pretty amazing little camera to this old coot.
Anyway, we had a rain a few days ago and several low spots, drainage areas were still full of water. This one really caught my eye.
The only PP was to remove a trash bag.
C&C always...

Gotta love southern Colorado. Wish we were there.
Nice shot!
I've been there only once, in August, and was looking at the mountain bike trail possibilities. Danged hot then. I figured coming back in the fall would be nice for riding. Looks like I waited too long.
I did some more reading on the electronic shutter thing last night. Came away with a tiny bit more understanding in some respects and a lot more of the feeling that the electronics are WAY above my head. I did learn that the DSLRs still have all the mirror/shutter mechanism of the film SLRs. And, it would appear that the mirrorless ILC cameras may also have (or even require) the mechanical shutter also. Maybe that explains the loud shutter sound in the Sony A6000.
I didn't find any reference to the superzoom bridge cameras having anything except the electronic shutter.
Maybe the light is coming on, but it's still very dim...

Still looking and reading, as this was my question also.
Wow, everyone is quick to jump on the shutter action of a DSLR and a Mirrorless, but not so quick to answer the OP's question. I'm acutely aware of that because I shoot a Sony HX200V and have wondered the exact same thing. Well, not exactly the same as I do know there's no mirrors and I suspected the shutter was electronic. BUT, I'm still wishing there was something that would help me understand exactly what is happening upon shutter "clicking" and getting the image onto my SD card. My 200X doesn't even try to emulate a shutter sound. It just has the option of a beep or silence. I choose silence.
So, I think our question is something like, "What comprises the electronic shutter and how does it open/close". Or something like that...

IQ is the size of the pixels on your sensor, the sharpness of your lens, some of the features in your camera, occasionally the software you use after to process the images. And of course it depends on your skills in terms of using the tools you have.

So in the end, learn how to be creative and maybe spend a bit of money to improve your physical quality. Spend less money and invest more time to become creative, and you'll actually achieve applause as you become ever better and no one will notice the image quality.

This entire response was the best thing I've read to help me understand the interactions that affect IQ. Well spoken, Bugfan.
