-5 and sunny here

We are off to say goodbye (again!) to our daughter-in-law this evening, and hand over the image tank so she can take it with her to Oz next week.

3 months in Oz sounds very attractive right now. Shiver shiver.

I wonder if one of these is any good, used with live view?

Shooting RAW it is possible to change the white balance in the RAW converter, so it doesn't really matter what it is set to surely?
Have you tried increasing the exposure on it slightly in the RAW converter too?
Maybe getting an exposure reading off the snow if that is what is important in your photo, rather than allowing the camera to decide the exposure would help somewhat too?

I dunno the answers TT - just putting forward some thoughts. I hate photographing snow as much as I hate having to cope with it just to get around .

The viewfinder is bright, clear and offers an effective 100% frame coverage - so what you see is what you end up with on the photo.

The K10D offers only 95% frame coverage.

The RZ10 comes in violet.

The Kx comes in pink .

Panasonic do a fine range in pink. Always good compacts from Panasonic.

We have a Vosics Image Tank. It is nearly 6 years old now and doesn't have a screen to view the photos but it does a grand job. It is off to Australia for three months on Wednesday.
We bought it to go to Africa with us, and chose not to have a screen on it so the batteries would last longer on a single charge, since we were staying in camps, in the middle of the Serengeti, with no electricity. Cell phone availability but no electrics

Now very useful for my DIL who will be without electricity for parts of her trip.

Shaun are you only going to Canada? I must have misunderstood your initial post .

layingback - I know frost is not unusual in CA, but it is early this year, after an odd summer too.
My husband has been skiing in the morning and surfing in the afternoon on visits to SoCal.

A grey day here. No hoar frost sadly. Slight flurries of snow, but nothing serious. That is due Tuesday/Wednesday now, along with a strong wind. Not going to get above freezing today, and the windchill makes it feel colder.
Skaters are getting excited already .

If it's any consolation to you all - parts of Californa, not too far from LA are also experiencing frosts - -2 again last night. Some places, not at a great altitude either, have already had -9 .
Even central LA is only 7C at night.

So much for California Dreaming on such a Winter's day.

-2 here now, and still no white stuff thank goodness. Since it is also a bit misty we may get a lovely hoar frost tomorrow.
