NX1100 back from it's hols in St. Lucia
2

First time my wife and I have had a beach holiday and we went to St. Lucia in the Caribbean together with the NX1100, 16mm, 30mm and 50-200mm NX lenses.

Most of the time when outside of the resort I just took the 16 and 30mm lenses in a small pouch.

I'm generally very impressed with the output. The only real problem I had was night photography where I just couldn't get a focus lock (the NX100 was far better at that). I took quite a bit of video as well and I'm quite impressed with that.

To go even lighter than usual (and I like to back up photos when I am away from home) I took a cheap 7" android tablet with me and loaded it with Rawdroid Pro. I recorded RAW images on a micro SD card so I could plug it into my android and the backup to two separate 64gb USB sticks. I then kept one of those in hand luggage and the other in hold luggage. Glad I was also doing this for my wife's Panasonic TZ7 as the card in that got corrupted, but at the time I only lost one day of photos from that card (and subsequently recovered all but a couple of those using SD recovery software when I got home). I processed the photos from RAW to JPG using RAWdroid pro and the pics below are the output from that. I thought it was extremely good for such a lightweight piece of software with the only significant drawback being it can't handle any camera/lens specific distortion or keystone correction and it does loose the Exif data by the looks of things. Nonetheless I was impressed with it. (I'll probably load some more later after I have time to work through several hundred photos in Capture One Pro.
