These are mostly random shots set in one of the automatic modes while I learn how the camera behaves: This is the first time I get any obvious distortion in the panorama modes, note the back window of the Jeep .  This is shot using the blur background mode.  Most of the following were shot from a moving car, through dirty glass: Shot in HDR+ mode.  Overall the camera behaves almost exactly like the DSC-TX9, except the lens is much nicer, and the vibration reduction is more effective. It is really hard to take a bad shot with this camera. Colors are usually warm, except on video. I uploaded a sample in AVCHD 1080/60p here .

My new monitor is a real monitor instead of an  HDTV  (amazing how a 24" HD screen without analog inputs or ATSC tuner is so much cheaper than a 23" HDTV of the same product series), so I just got a Logitech S220 2.1 Speaker System with Subwoofer , an impulse buy and at $23 I didn't think much of it. I didn't even finish reading the product page. The system arrived today, and it came with this little doodad: This little pod is a combination of: Power switch Headphone jack extension Microphone jack extension Volume knob I have been using it for maybe an hour, and I can't understand why every PC doesn't come with a pod like this.The two speakers sound like two tiny speakers, no surprise there. The sub-woofer actually sounds pretty cool, even better considering the whole thing cost $23 including free shipping.
