I find his settings advice for the Sony RX10iv quite hellpful.

I've been riding for than 50 years (500k miles +/-), just a couple of years longer than I've been dabbling in photography. In those days I enjoyed taking photos of race cars, racing motorcycles and jumping horses. But I always took my pickup truck so I could easily and safely carry all my gear (two cameras, several lenses, Honeywell strobe, tripod, etc.). When riding, I found even my Konica rangerfinder too large to carry comfortably and securely.

Today's compact digital cameras are much easier to carry. My favorite is a compact Sony HX80. It is a small-sensor 18.2MP camera with a 30x Zeiss zoom lens, built-in flash and pop-up EVF, that easily fits easily in a jacket or inside vest pocket. If I had more money to spend, I would buy a Sony RX10 M6 or M7 (less zoom but larger sensor).

There are similar model by other manufacturers, but I am not familiar with them.

I also have a great do-everything camera, a Sony RX10 M4. I find it to be fantastiic, but it is too expensive for me to feel comfortabe carrying on the scoot.

Just my experience. Hope it helps. See you in the wind.

Decades ago, following an Apple Iic, I started with MSDOS 3.1, up thru Windoze 10. Around eight years ago, I was so tired of Billy's Bloatware, I converted everything to Linux (Mint). What a breath of fresh air.

There are several FOSS (free, open source software) PP programs available for Linux. I am currently using DigiKam (which is also available for Windoze and Apple). I downloaded the current version from the website rather than the older version included with the Linux distribution. It works well and suits my needs, which are strictly hobbiest.

Many years ago, in the film days, I did some stories for "Uncle Pete" at Petersen Publishing Co., primarily 4WOR. DigiKam would easily handle any editing I would have needed had digital been available.

There are a number of more powerful PP programs available for Linux, including Raw Therapee and Dark Table, as well as GIMP.

It is possible to run Adobe probucts in Linux with virtual machine software like WINE, but it can be tricky.

I currently have one older laptop setup to dual-boot Linux and Windoze (easy to do), running Photoshop Elements 9 in Win 7 (as recommended by Imagemeister), but I seldom use it because I just can't stand Billy's Bloatware anymore.

Just my experience. Your mileage may vary...

It's not all that hard to add Linux to an existing Windows machine, then set it up to dual-boot. You can activate Windows to do your photo processing, then close and open Linux for other functions including web browsing. I set up a Win 7 laptop that way and turned off wifi in windows. That way wifi turns on automatically in Linux and off in Windows, protecting your machine when using an expired Windows with no security updates. You have to manually set up your drives so that Linux can access you Windows files. If you google Linux dual boot you can find plenty of info. You can also use Wine to run Windows programs on Linux, but that didn't work that well for me.
Might be worth a try.

i agree. Excelent for the size and price.

👍👍

I have a Sony 18-135 on my A58. It is my do-everything travel lens. For me, it is a very good lens. If I need more focal length (seldom when traveling), I have the 2x CIZ (Clear Image Zoom) built into the camera.
I also have a Sigma 10-20mm, which I like alot, but I don't carry it when travelling. If I need wider view, as noted above, I use the internal panorama function, which works very well.
I also have a Tamron 28-300, but it is heavier and I seldom use its reach when travelling. (I do like using in a zoo.)
I just prefer not carrying multiple lenses, and changing them, when travelling.
I do often carry a +1 or +2 close-up "filter" as well as a polarizer, both of which, for me, occassionally come in handy.
In the film days, I travelled to Japan and Panama with a nifty-fifty and a 70-210 zoom, which covered everything I needed (from poison frogs to Mt. Fuji). The 18-135 on crop-frame gives me more range in one lens, with equal or better IQ (from observation, not testing).
I highly recommend it. I bought mine used at KEH. Hope this helps.

Yup!!

Ahh, yes, Tangdrivers. I rememder those. We did not drink them for the taste. 😒😎

It really is hard to imagine anything easier, cheaper or more effective than this.

😏👍😎

Yes.
