A Year of Days: Day 209 - New Toy

The postman delivered a new toy today!

Yes I need a new camera like a hole in the head... but it will partner up nicely with my Fuji X-Pro-1 and its three prime lenses. First impressions are very favourable - it's small, neat, lightweight and technically excellent.

I captured this image with obscured window light using the X-Pro-1... and 'No', I didn't need that either. As it says in my 365 profile - I'm a gadget freak or, as some folk put it, I'm suffering from GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome!

I haven't looked yet, but I guess this will look best viewed on black.
Nice one Richard. It was in the frame for me too (a friend has one and he raves about it.). But because of past investment in lenses I decided to stick with the Panasonic as my lightweight camera. With the Lumix 20mm lens it is just so lovely to handle.

@yrhenwr I plan to use this a lot with the 27mm f/2.8 pancake lens, which is the same effective focal length as your 20mm on the GH5.

All bright new and shiny! I suffer from that GAS too but unfortunately I don't have the pocketbook to go with it.

On black, ace!

Is this one for the new bike. I thought you said you wanted something light for that. The body reminds me of an old film camera.

@joansmor That's Fuji's retro signature style which they apply to a greater or lesser extent to all their CSCs. I did have the bike in mind when I bought this - it had its first outing on the bike this afternoon but I haven't looked at the images yet... watch this space.

Wonderful camera, pic. Before I went to the dark side (Nikon), I proudly was a Fuji digital camera guy. Loved their cameras!

@photographycrazy I'm very pleased with it, but I won't be parting with my Nikons... or my Sonys!
