I realized this morning that with gas prices spiralling up to an unknown height, travel this year by any means, is going to suck.

I thought about investing in a better camera setup than my outdated little Logitech video cam, but than I decided to explore how to hookup one of my Sony cameras to the desktop. I discovered that Sony has a driver called Imaging Edge Webcam, downloadable from their site.

I tried it first with my little RX100 but that's a 2005 camera, and out of date. So I went full bore and hooked up my Sony A6500, selecting it from the list of approved cameras, and it works! Combined with my beautiful Sigma 16mm lens, it delivers a stunning video image, and it works great in Zoom.

Unfortunately, the operator on the other side looks like a wild-eyed, unkempt, long-haired hippy, but I is who I am...

Now maybe I can that see that new grand-daughter in real-time.
