At one time, I changed my cars every three years or so and my cameras less often - now it is the other way round.
My Canon S90 dates back to 2009 (a long time in terms of camera developments) and has been superseded by three models, the latest being the S110.
I really like the form factor of the S series cameras but the performance when the ISO was greater than 400 left something to be desired. Time for a change.
The market for premium compacts has grown a lot since 2009 with offerings by most manufacturers, it was going to be a tough decision.
The more I looked though, the more I kept coming back to the Sony RX100 which is variously described by many as the best premium compact camera on the market and by one enthusiastic reviewer as a “pocket rocket”. The compelling features are its Zeiss lens and its largeExmoor sensor.
I am pleased to say, from initial trials, that it does perform an awful lot better than the camera it replaces which will now be consigned to the glove box of the car for emergencies.

One of my favourite cute fish - also called the toadstool groper. It's a sea bass that is also called a rock cod - like hundreds of other species

Today I am meeting up with my forum/flickr/facebook friend Sasastro. We shall be chatting, but of course also looking for decent images - the weather is on our side, with glorious spring sunshine. Hopefully, I'll have some pictures to show you at some point.
The Orwak 5070-HDC multiChamber baler is ideal for use when separating various materials for recycling or when compacting the same material, creating a more efficient handling and a neater environment. This one is at the Kent Recycling Center in Putnam County, Carmel,NY.
The Fujica Compact Deluxe is a 35 mm rangefinder camera made by Fuji Film Japan on the '60. This camera was from a friend of mine. You can read the user's manual at www.scribd.com/doc/30795468/Fujica-Compact-Deluxe-35-mm-r...
Part of our 'Compact' range. L to R, Copper, Red, Rich Brown and Lilac. Can be made in any of our 23 colour trims.
This is a nice little compact camera from the late 1960s. It is very sturdy with all metal construction. The condition is surprisingly good except that the lens label plate is missing and the foam seals need replacement. The selenium meter is still working, but the EV reading is one stop lower when compared with my DSLR. This can be compensated with higher ISO setting (e.g. use ISO 200 for ISO 100 film). The maximum ISO setting is 200. That leaves ISO 100 film as the best choice for this camera.
The lens is Fujinon 38mm f/2.8 with aperture down to f/22. The Seiko-L shutter has speed 1/30-1/250s, and Bulb. The shutter works in one of three modes: (1) when the aperture is set to "A", the shutter is automatically locked to "A/flash", this is the programmed auto exposure mode; (2) when the aperture is set to a non-"A" position and the shutter is set to "A/flash", the shutter speed is set to a fixed flash sync speed, this is the flash mode; (3) when both aperture and shutter are set to non-"A" position, it works in full manual exposure mode.
Ponder & Best's computer keeps very busy! This actually does seem to be a fresh design for 1969, reflecting P&B's increasing involvement in their Japanese suppliers' design process.
I'll leave it to you to evaluate how "compact" this lens actually is; but the 4.5-foot minimum focus is indeed a cut above the norm.
I got my own copy of this lens in one of those "whoops" eBay lowball-bid incidents. But it arrived with sticky aperture blades. While I did eventually succeed in cleaning and reassembling the lens, as I recall my wisdom from that experience was that opening from the back was a mistake (the click mechanism for the aperture ring has an incredibly tiny spring and ball bearing). Taking care to note the original orientations of threaded parts up front, it was much easier to extract and clean the aperture blades from that end (using lighter fluid).

For several years now the former Nine Acre and Twenty-one Acre quarry complex has been seasonally backfilled with clay overburden from the adjacent Mundays HIll Quarry.
The driver of the blue Ram I guess, supposedly, doesn't know what a compact car is. He parked his Ram right in the compact car spot, blocking any people form entering or exiting. This looks like a job for the Front Field Police Force.

A nice vintage Wadsworth compact shown in a 1951 magazine ad as a "Triplette". It measures 3 3/8" by 2 5/8" with a slant design from 5/8" to 3/8" at the front.
The Fujica Compact 35. This one doesn't seem to get too much attention among camera cultists, but it's a wonderful machine nonetheless.

Basement parking of lot of Menlo Center in Menlo Park. I parked next to this spot and saw a composition that may look cool in HDR.
I think this is a hoverfly (although I am teetering on soldier...I really need to work out the distinction...
I was wrong, it is Odontomyia - a soldier.
I am having to get used to the new ways
"…back in my day…" front cranks were 52/42
Its just the way things were
this is a "new normal" 50/34
I asked the guy at REI about changing it out for a "normal" (to me) one
he looked at me like I was crazy
Of course the last road bike I had was a "12 speed" with 6 rear sprockets
This is a "20 speed" with 10 rear sprockets including a 11 12 at the small end
That is a BIG gear even with "just" a 50 up front
