Such and exciting and dangerous world we live in.
No doubt. The next camera always is.I keep telling myself the A7Cii will be much nicer.
Ouch.No doubt. The next camera always is.
But think about how many grandkid photos you will miss out on...
I know - that's why I don't find it too difficult to hold out.Nikon should be releasing 28 and 40 compact primes for the Z mount, per their roadmap
Gah, if only it was F2. Then again, I'm hearing that their 85mm F1.8 wide open is so good there's practically no need for anything faster, ie shooting an F1.2 will make little or no difference. It's all different with this new gear apparently. It's these tiny details that tip you over in terms of deciding whether to invest in a completely new system.now the 40mm f/2.5 is available (or will be soon)
A third of a stop, Ray ... And apparently, the bokeh is quite nice. I don't mind the f/2.8 of the Sigma 45 one bit, and from what I see, the 40mm seems somewhat sharper. Not quite as pleasant in its rendering maybe, but smaller *and* sharper *and* sealed ... You see, I don't make things any easier, neither for me nor for youGah, if only it was F2.

Not going fully mirrorless right now but wow, if i was, I'd find it real hard choosing between the Nikon & Canon. What appeals to me most is Canon with the lenses, Nikon with the bodies (yes I know, they're both extremely good in each department too).A third of a stop, Ray ...

It was certainly a lot easier for me, as I've owned Nikon gear for ages (over thirty-five years) and really liked their handling and results. The Z 6 felt like a natural next step - an ingenious mix between the best of Nikon FF DSLRs, Nikon APS-C DSLRs (size and weight!) and mirrorless technology at a very impressive level (EVF, I.B.I.S., even AF), with really good results - very, very rewarding. And the Z 50, even though it's a somewhat limited package, works astonishingly well for what it is (and far outshoots my - old, I know! - Sony A7 II!). That's how I like my gear.Not going fully mirrorless right now but wow, if i was, I'd find it real hard choosing between the Nikon & Canon.

Nothing like an ancient camera with the word "Newness" on the side. And it comes with a free Kodak No.2 Box Brownie?So, I've recently got a worm-eaten Butcher Midg No.3 that's going to take a bit of work to bring back to life.
I did a bad thing and bought another one.......to my Credit Card's distress.
Murer's Express Newness....not exactly sure about the size. Possibly a 6x9...though it looks larger.

And to stretch my Credit card even further, I was offered a Mountain-Elmar lens today.
This is not going to end well......
Same here with the range. I had a coupe versions of the Nikon 24-120s and the older 28-105.Found a great deal on the Panasonic 12-60/2.8-4. Going to test it out soon with the EM1.
I found that I really liked the focal range of the Fuji 16-80/4, and this is comparable field of view.
Not that I think the compact camera system had any legs, I think the DL series of cameras that Nikon was going to release would have been way more successful then their KeyMission series. Like you, I would have been very interested in the 18-50 as well as the 24-85, as that is my sweet spot street and general purpose range.Same here with the range.

I considered getting the PanLeica trio, but decided on the PL8-18 and Oly 12-100 Pro. Think I'm going to be really tempted to trade my PL for the up coming 8-25 Pro if they can keep the size down, it's also a great range. (Like that Nikon DL18-50 that never happened) .
Assuming it's of the swivelling variety, how long have you spent happily propelling yourself around in circles with your feet since purchase?Nothing Camerawise lately but I got myself a new office chair - aah! the relief.
