The Sony controls suck even though I know them well now: they’re badly designed physically and software-wise and the entire camera is slow and sluggish. It’s particularly tough to use in cold with the metal body.

It’s actually a fascinating conundrum. I know there is no perfect camera but Canon is blowing it by not having a better sensor in the G15 which is a great camera to use, and Sony is blowing it by not making their camera better ergonomically. I was hoping the Canon G1X would be a decent compromise but so far it looks like a dog.

Frustrating but at least I’ve got a camera that can make decent images in low light with the Sony.

Oh, and Nemo is just getting underway. Not sure what’s going to happen, we’ve been burned before with hype but we’ve also been clobbered so wait 24 hours and we’ll see.

By the way, yesterday on a hike up in Massachusetts I got some of the best ice shots I’ve ever gotten (with the RX100). I’m way behind on my image processing but maybe this snow storm will give me some time (if we keep power). Stay tuned.
