Which new Sony camera for G@tto ?

It has to be small, slim and light so I can keep it in my jeans' pocket.

My present camera is a Sony T3 (zoom x 4,
wide 38, tele 114, 5.1 Mpx) : a cool one until
I've tried the T100 (zoom x 5, wide 35, tele 175,
8.1 Mpx) just one year later, but I did't want to
change my camera so soon or each time I fall
in love with another one.

Now it's time, but the Sony landscape is overcrowded with touch screens
and I prefer buttons. I've spent hours examining T200, T300, T500 and
T700, all equipped with sensitive screens, and anyway their specifications
don't match with my needs.

Finally, my preferred one is still the T100 -
best tele & zoom for such a compact camera,
only it's too late... they have disappeared !

Guess who's coming to dinner ?

His life's credo : being a medium between people and societies.

Jim's Sunday Dinners

Every week for the past 30 years, I've hosted a Sunday dinner
in my home in Paris. People, including total strangers, call or
e-mail to book a spot. I hold the salon in my atelier, which used
to be a sculpture studio.
The first 50 or 60 people who call may come, and twice that
many when the weather is nice and we can overflow into the
garden. Every Sunday a different friend prepares a feast.
Last week it was a philosophy student from Lisbon, and next
week a dear friend from London will cook.
People from all corners of the world come to break bread together, to meet, to talk, connect
and often become friends.
All ages, nationalities, races, professions gather here, and since there is no organized
seating, the opportunity for mingling couldn't be better. I love the randomness.
I believe in introducing people to people... (more)

Guests at his Sunday dinners have included Allen Ginsberg, Robert Crumb (remember
Fritz the Cat ?),
Molly Ivins...
