yike, long time no post. Been slacking on the photo side of things due to the day job and doing a lot of music the past year + (www.nostatic.com/music if anyone is interested).
Anywho, I've been happily using my DLux4 for quick shots when I take them, and had ditched my m4/3 and Pentax for a 5Dmk2 and some good L glass. I find that I almost never take the Canon out unless it is for work. And if it is for work, then I'm going to make work buy the camera
What I'm finding that I want at the moment is really good low light (I never use flash) and decent video, mostly for music moments. My g/f happily shoots a G1 (and I just got her a G3 for her b-day but don't tell her) so I thought about getting back into m4/3 as I like my EP1 but the Sony seems like it might be a better fit vs GF3 or PL3.
I fiddled with all the suspect the other day and was struck by a) how small the font on the screens can be and/or b) how crappy my eyes have gotten. The Sony was the worst of the lot with one of the Olys a close second. I don't want to have to put on my reading glasses just to shoot a pic. I wasn't able to quickly find the option for large text on the NEX-5n but reviews claim it is there.
Anyone have the same issue and do the changes within the menus fix it? Also the Sony felt really small in my hands. I like that as I kinda just want to point and shoot instead of manipulate. I have mostly always shot that way. What can I say, I'm lazy
