After travelling tens of thousands of miles, taking thousands of great photos, contributing to hundreds of blog posts, being bashed about tens of times and once partially being dropped in the sea, the Sony DSC-H1 has been put into semi-retirement. It’s a sad moment and I’m sure he might make a comeback once or twice, and I’m not intent on losing him just yet. For now, he’s taking a well-earned rest and enjoying poodling about at home.
The new kid on the block is the Panasonic DMSANAOFBNAOZJ189enc9-fx2132934hdma-xy28 or something. I am not instantly in love with it but given a bit of work on our relationship it will thrive. I think it has far too many functions which have made it overly complex… indeed the analogies to a woman are never far away. Her build quality isn’t as robust as the solid manly Sony, but it’s good at multi-tasking, has a tremendous all-encompassing wide angle view and is also rather fine at sticking her nose in with its zoom. It could be a very special affair.
So having supported the Australian economy by buying Japanese products, the weekend found me out and about amongst the wonderful canvas of Canberra in autumn. We partied on late into the night on Friday night, wondered around the rose gardens on Saturday and watched a romantic sunset together on Sunday. I am treating her well and she is starting to respond.

I guess you haven’t seen Canberra for a while on here, so as you can see, it’s still here, with its usual serene sunsets, kangaroo infested hills and streets paved with gold and green and red and orange. It’s a good place for retirement and to bring up children. So as the Sony potters about the garden, hopefully not too resentful in old age, me and the new woman will look forward to making more sweet photos together.

Hey bruv, cool photos... one thing with my Pana is in low light it gets quite grainy however judging by your photos here, the quality has somewhat improved with your new younger model. They are still really sharp close-in. It would be interesting to see how well it photos snow-capped mountains :-).
It feels like I could see snow capped mountains this coming weekend! Yeah, I tried setting the ISO to a maximum of 200 and compensating in low light with longer shutter speed and hoping the autoshakyshaky reduction would help
