Today I got Wordle in one. Strange. The word which I will not give away, just appeared in my mind. Sometimes I get these precognitions of the future. My mind always says before it dismisses them, that the parallel worlds that are beside us has moved further forward than the one I'm travelling through;)
I have made a decision to buy myself a new camera, well maybe a secondhand one as I really don't like using my phone camera. So I will plod through reviews. Good cameras are expensive but they come much cheaper when secondhand.... Any suggestions? I have been looking at different options, Sony or Canon. The mirrorless ones are the in-ones at the moment but DSLRs are similar. According to Amateur Photography, I have to look for decent video running as well as photos. I haven't quite given up renewing old ways. My old cameras were quite good but got lost along the way.

Bath is wonderful, especially the Abbey. Did you spend plenty of time there, even without a new camera yet?
ReplyDeleteHels, I lived there, well just on the outskirts for near on thirty years so yes I do know Bath very well. I became interested in Roman Bath, and if you were to type 'Roman Temple at Bath' into the search engine, and scroll perhaps a couple of blogs down you would find a good history of the Roman temple there.
ReplyDeleteI like my phone camera as it is always handy. I've never been a great photographer anyway taking after my Mom who often got her thumb in the photo! ;)
ReplyDeleteI find my phone rather difficult, adjusting everything for a start Ellen. And now I just fancy a good camera.
DeleteI still lug around my Cannon SX70 bought after my Nikon got a scratch on the lens. I can't get on with just looking at a phone screen and need an eye piece to jam my eye into. Not all cameras have them now. I guess it's a matter of how much weight you want to carry, what degree of zoom and how much you will use all the different settings. I'm lazy and usually use auto focus and occasionally sports mode. One good thing is the amount of editing you can do on the pc when you up/down? load the photos wherever they're from. I've never bought second hand. I'd worry too much about possible faults though if you bought through somewhere like Jessops that would give more security. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteYou take pretty good photos with your camera Ruta. The sea must be quite far away and you always capture it in its many moods. As far as secondhand is concerned if you go to a decent camera place they give you warranty on the camera.
DeleteI have had two Sony bridge cameras. They have a wide zoom range and if you rely on the "automatic" setting you will not go far wrong. Keep it simple is what I say but if you have a technical mind you might feel more comfortable than I do about playing around with different settings. Harrisons in Sheffield have a website and within it they advertise secondhand cameras for sale. See https://harrisoncameras.co.uk/
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil. As my mind is simple I shall keep the camera on autofocus most of the time. I expect all cameras are much of a muchness, even amongst the brand names. Really at the moment I am just going over the options.
ReplyDeleteI like my Canon very much.
