As some of you have noticed I have a lot of cameras :-) So many in fact that I have cameras that I hardly use and cameras that I haven't even tested properly. I don't want to collect cameras just to display them on a shelf. I want to use them, have fun with them and see what they can do.
So I'm starting a "project" I call "One week-one camera" (inspired by one of my favourite Youtube channels: One month, two cameras).
I'm going to pick one camera each week and shoot only that for one week until I have gone through all my cameras! I will try to find out what I like (and dislike) about each camera and decide if it is a keeper or if it has to go......
The first camera in 2024 is the Panasonic GM5. A camera I have used a lot and is in no danger of leaving the house :-) It is the smallest large sensor camera I have and really shows the size advantages of the micro four thirds system.
That is a great idea! I might even borrow it. I too have quite a few cameras, though probably not as many as you. I try to use them all regularly but lately I seem to lean heavily on my favourite two and the others have been gathering dust, especially my film cameras. A project such as yours might be just the thing I need to spark creativity. I’ll also check out that YouTube channel you recommend. Btw, besides a love of cameras, tinnitus and a bad back are two other things we share.
What a neat idea! I'm looking forward to seeing what your different cameras can do.
I have several cameras, though not as many as you. A couple of days ago, I asked my son if he still had his Sony RX100 and it's in storage. What?! Climate controlled storage, but still.... His girlfriend said she'd find it for me.
@cdcook48 Thanks Chris. I'm also looking forward to getting to know some of the cameras I haven't used (and maybe sell a few to finance something new :-) If you haven't found the YouTube channel it is here: https://www.youtube.com/@OneMonthTwoCameras/videos
Love this project and also enjoy watching One month, two cameras.
Like Chris, I might borrow your idea as I seem to have acquired quite a few old digicams (can't believe how cheap some of them are) - though I might go with one fortnight/month, one camera as I only tend to get out with a camera at the weekends.
I'll follow your progress with interest, especially if you're shooting with a camera that I have :)
