New Camera
I’ve been busy reading about new cameras of major brands that provide best means to get sharp and of acceptable quality pictures and be light and portable at the same time. I read reviews and a plethora of information about dozens of compact cameras that could compete with the larger DSLR and with the possibility of changing lenses.
Refining a bit I got closer to what I wanted by selecting among the mirror-less cameras.
Every major producer of cameras has several models to choose from, their specs. are various as much as their prices. I kept refining my search and I got to a final 3 choices that could satisfy my needs for a camera. Nikon, Sumsung and Fujifilm. Each one of the have at least 5 or more models of the mirror less type which are very good. After a long while I got to my final selection last night when I picked the Fujifilm Nex-E1 and I placed my order.
Although most of my cameras are Canon, I went for the Fujifilm Nex-E1 based on many factors, (too long a list to mention on this post), and hundreds of photos I’ve seen shot from many Flickr’s members that are all over the world.
Of course I will be testing the camera as soon as I get it and will let you know and see the results as always.
Next are some pictures from my photo archives.
