New kid on the block

Well, what to say. It's a dinky little thing that's for sure.

 

Canvassing existing Flickr users of the R6 and also of the Panasonic Lumix TZ-3 tipped the scales into turning a vague discontent with the outgoing Olympus into a cash on the counter purchase from Gales, our local camera shop in London.

 

First impressions against the old technology.....

--it's cleverer than a very clever thing

--clarity of the images is a bit "coo!" after what I'd been used to

--the macro is amazing

--192 pages in the Book of Destructions is about 185 too many for me

--God gave me fingers like a bunch of bananas - & camera buttons too small

--low light pictures aren't up to much

--I think I might miss an old fashioned glass viewfinder

-- a seven times zoom is just fabbo-lux

--it doesn't seem to have quite the bust-proof solidity of the old Olympus

--what a lot you get for your money these days

--the local camera shop isn't dead - they more or less matched internet prices
