new! by summerfield

new!

i have forgotten about my new mirrorless camera! i have to blame the bronchitis. i realized today i have not even taken the box out of the bag ever since i took it home. i even have to find the darn thing because i put it in a "safe" place.

it is bigger than the olympus i'm currently using, and with the lens, it is quite heavy, it definitely won't be my "everyday carry all the time" camera.

if it snows tonight as being predicted, then tomorrow this new gizmo will be put to the test. i just hope i will like it.

for week 1 of the 2024 52 captures challenge; the challenge is "new".
Oh you must have been crook to have forgotten your new purchase! I hope you enjoy using it.

How many cameras do you own? Why did you replace the Olympus??
Stay safe in the snow Vikster

Oh my goodness you must have been poorly. I would have had it out of the box straight away.

Oh boy a new toy … they say mirrorless is the future. Although I believe it’s the camera on your phone.

Now I know how sick you have been to have forgotten that! You were so excited about it when you got it! I hope you get the snow so we can see the photos

It is like you are having a second Christmas with the new toy. Hope you feel better and good luck with the learning curve.

You must have been unwell to have forgotten about this. Why the swap from Olympus to Canon?

@merrelyn - i'm still keeping my old olympus for everyday carry-on. there is not much of a difference between the newer olympus mirrorless and the old one so i thought it best to get another brand. if i don't like this one i'd trade it in for a nikon or sony probably.

@summerfield I bought another Olympus because I wanted a second a body so that I don't have to keep changing lenses. I love some of the features on the new one. I'm not using my Nikon much any more.

@merrelyn - canon was a reasonable choice for me because i can use my other lenses on this new one (although i would need to get an adapter for the lenses). i tried the new olympus as the store lent it to me for a week. i returned it after two days.

Enjoy!!

@northy - no, tomorrow night though it will.

Nice!

How exciting for you! Have fun!

A new camera takes a bit of getting used to. Because you already have a Canon, hopefully the buttons and menus will be similar.

Have fun with your new camera!

I have this camera, too, and it is particularly great at bursts of bird photography. Have fun!
