2016 Komodo, Tulamben, Padangbai trip report

[Mermaidwannabe]

What a great video! You have me very excited for my first visit to Indonesia. We are doing Amed, Nusa Lembogan and Ubud in April. Can't wait!

I am looking to buy a small camera like the Sony RX100 because we always have problem with luggage being overweight.

I really do love the camera. On this trip, I left my heavier dslr and lens set at home and didn't miss them.

My only two complaints -
- the zoom / macro capabilities are not great.

- the camera's manual white balance is HORRIBLE. It's a well documented issue, and I hope they find a way to fix it in an update. I mainly manually dialed in the white balance.

I'm jealous you go every other year! Enjoy your next trip.

seem similar issues as Olympus - very difficult to set manual WB on low light condition.
In Olympus sub forum Jeff Mullin (he lives in Tulamben) posted a trick and tip to perform manual WB for Olympus. I'm not sure if it's applicable for RX100, but worth to try.
