It's winter, minus 13 C , the boat is undercover in the driveway another 4 or 5 months so I'd like to do something that might be considered a public service.

How about posting some pictures of the winter scenery or some big surf

along the coast?

Funny you mention pictures...
I've been struggling trying to decide what camera to buy to replace my Canon G10which is 3 or 4 years old and never did impress me. I fell for Canon's claim that it was their flagship of the point & shoot lineup.
Although it works perfectly..having just under 1k pictures taken on it, I found the 14.1mp sensor was too small and the pictures can seem a bit noisy if blown up to tv size. Also the video option isn't HD.
I was really looking forward to the newly released Canon EOS M mirrorless model with the big APS C sensor. The reviews so far have been a bit underwhelming for an $800.00 camera. I could get as good results, and in some cases better, with the Canon Rebel T4i DSLR...but am trying to avoid a bigger bulkier camera.
Anyway, if I decide this winter, you'll see more pictures of this area than you might want.
