Winter Garden with a new camera

I’ve just purchased a(nother) new camera, the Sony RX100M6. I wanted something with a big sensor for higher quality images, and a reasonable zoom – but I also wanted light and easy to carry.

So today I took the new camera on my early morning walk around town and took various photos to test out the image quality and zoom capability.
