It can be a bit hit & miss on the focus, but it's well worth playing with, for those 'lucky ones'.

Yes, i really should take it out with me and use it more.
Years ago i had a DSLR, but i never took it out with me due to its size and sold it. Then a few years ago i bought a mirrorless camera and again i rarely use it, because even that is a fair bit bulkier than a compact. Hence then buying the HX-80.

Exactly - it'll fit in a trouser or jersey pocket. Even then I'd not used mine much for a year or two, favouring the ease of the phone camera, but I realised how much I missed the optical zoom, image stabilisation, macro ability, and quality of proper camera photos when I started using the Sony for flowers and birds extensively. The phone now comes a very distant second.

They are always improving though. I’ve just got the Huawei P30 pro and snapped the mtb this morning. Not too shabby.

Oh yes, for some shots, even my cheapo Moto G pulls off quite a good job, and if you spend decent money on a phone, even better, but even then, they won't match a 30x optical zoom with specialised photo processing software, and a good image chip.

The missus and I upgraded to P20's earlier this year. The cameras have amazed us as to just how good they are.

That looks great, where is that?
It's a bridal path that runs through the Glenveagh National Park in Co. Donegal.

I rode out to Plymtree Church near Exeter, having read that it had a fine collection of medieval carved wood bench ends and rood screen. Struth! I can't imagine anywhere outside of a cathedral having a finer collection, and in such a small space. Breathtaking.
