Back in early February we went to Barcelona. Just an eight-day trip, we packed in a lot!
Here are some photos. . .

Having paella on the food floor of the El Corte Ingles department store. It was as good or even better than in restaurants we tried, and you can’t beat the view!

I just ran across an article on how camera makers are concentrating so much on mirrorless systems, yet what many users (particularly novices to intermediate shooters) want is compact models.
I agree in the sense that if Canon came out with a PowerShot SX750HS, I’d buy one in a heartbeat.
I’ve had 720HS and 730HS models for years, and love the 40X optical zoom in a small body that fits in a cargo pant or jacket pocket.
I carry the 730HS all the time. Yes, I have DSLRs and mirrorless cameras for nature, wildlife, and documentary work, but I’m not going to be always carrying them.
I’ve been looking around to see if I could snag a 740HS (the latest in the series) and they are either all gone, or if you can track down a new one, they are selling for as much as 3X – 4X their original list price. That ought to tell Canon something.
Release an SX750HS with a better sensor (particularly in low light), upgrade the software, keep the 40X optical zoom. . . and I’m sold.
