Last week I took a plunge and ordered a Nikon D40, thinking the huge sensor and reflex viewfinder (amongst other things) would signal a new age of photographic nirvana. After the first few days I realised several basic facts:
1. I actually prefer LCD compostion, then I can see outside the frame.
2. In the situations where high ISO performance of an APS-C sensor would be useful, I'd almost never be carrying it.
3. In fact, I just didn't want to carry it around - I'm an opportunistic photographer, i.e. I take photos during my life in general.
4. So why didn't I just buy a GX100 instead then eh?
So, I packed up the DSLR and it's going back tomorrow for a refund, and now I have to get back to the decision between GX100, LX2 and G9 that was occupying me before I was diverted from my real needs! I suspect it's going to be GX100 time. And I didn't return the 4GB Extreme III SDHC card, figured that will come in handy
And this morning, we had a very rare case of several inches of snow, so I went out and about, armed with my trusty compact, and grabbed a few shots of the snow. Here's one:
Cheers
