Olympus is in.
Thousands of $$$$ of camera gear switched out.
But full sized bodies and lenses are just too big and heavy. I need to scale down. I can't lug all that metal and glass around like I used to.
Lots of pics to come though...

OM D Em1 Mk 2.
Micro 4/3rds.
Brilliant piece of kit. Half the weight of my Nikon.
Nikon mirrorless are too expensive, and achieve nothing in terms of weight reduction. Their glass will be just as heavy as it is now. That was the key priority. The Olympus system is the best bang for your buck going. They have reduced everything, compromising nothing.

They used to be black boxes with film in them, and some microprocessing.Quote from: "Bricktop"

I wouldn't know. The old lady has a decent camera, but I don't use it.

Experts estimate that you won't fully learn to use a modern camera correctly until you've fired around 3000 shots...most of which will be duds.
But, I shall do my best...

I've put one up of the rosellas...but what was once a simple machine that had to be fully manually controlled is now a computer with bewildering complications and settings that take practice to master.Quote from: "Bricktop"

My wife and I are thinking about buying a new camera. We don't have the patience though to wait for 3000 shots before knowing what we are doing.

Patience not necessary. 2 days....1500 shots...Quote from: "Bricktop"
In five and a half years when I am retired and living in Panama I will match or even surpass that.

You know what they say about guys who drive big trucks compensating for their physical inadequacies? I wonder if that applies to pricey cameras too.

Well, I've gone and done it. Ordered the Canon M100 mirrorless camera. I can mount my Canon EF lenses with the Canon EF - EFM adapter.Quote from: "TheVancouverGuy"
