This is a National Park and the area where around 930 poeple from Iceland started to gather for their first Parliament. They did this there until 1798. The bed of river Öxarár has been changed to supply the gathering masses with water in times of their gathering.

Unpacking a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100
The PanoTwins camera family got a new offspring: The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100. I did not expect the camera to be available before August. However several posts on different blogs talked about the availability of the camera. So I visited the home page of my local camera dealer – not expecting the sign: In stock. I headed for the store immediately, because I wanted to see it for real. I bought the camera 5 Minutes after talking it the first time into my hand. And now I can show you some unpacking images:
On the side of the box you can read about the sensor size: 1.0 type (13.2mmx8,8mm) CMOS Sensor 20.2 Mega pixels. I did not find the sensor informaion on the box of the Sony Alpha 77 😉
After opening the box you find a second box containig a multilingual (15 languages: GB, FR, IT, ES, PT, DE, NL, PL, CZ, HU, SK, SE, FI, NO and DK) “Digital Still Camera / Instruction Manual”. Each language has roughly about 33 pages in the manual. No CD is included, but a leaflet stating: “PC software is in the camera. See instruction Manual or User Guide for details.”
After removing the second box the camera is revealed.
The camera has several protecting covers and a small identification plate attached to it. This is the view from the front with the lens still closed.
Top view of the camera.
First time with extended lens, that spans a 35mm equivalent range of 28-100mm with F1.8-4.9.
After removing the camera tray you find the accessories on the bottom of the box.
The accessories include a rechargeable battery, that has to be loaded inside the camera by connecting a supplied USB cable. The included transformer has an USB connector that fits this cable. Furthermore you find three straps, that can be attached to the camera. However the shoulder strap is an optional accessory and is not included! You’ll only find a wrist strap and two short straps for attaching a shoulder strap.
