It is not the 4K resolution, or the high dynamic range of the high end models. It is the optical and electronic image stabilization, nowadays present even in phones. I find it really noticeable while editing older videos. While the image quality is almost the same, camera shake is impossible to overlook.<\/p>\n<h5>Our first RV road trip<\/h5>\n<p>We began our first RV road trip ever by going north on 1-95. We stopped several times to make coffee and take a break. Tripped the circuit breaker when we tried to run the air conditioner and the microwave simultaneously off the generator. We even managed to parallel park the rig at Delray Beach.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1788\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1788\" style=\"width: 474px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1788\" src=\"http:\/\/www.travelingrobert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Paralel-parked-Delray-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.travelingrobert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Paralel-parked-Delray.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.travelingrobert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Paralel-parked-Delray-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.travelingrobert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Paralel-parked-Delray-768x509.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1788\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Parallel parked on Ocean Boulevard (A1A), Delray Beach, FL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>The idea was to spend the night in Saint Augustine but among the lessons learned during this trip was the fact that the ETA on the GPS does not necessarily apply to RVs.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually we made it to Savannah in the middle of the night.
