He was adopted from the store that caters to the Kansas City Art Institute students - Claire's favorite place to get pens, pencils and sketch books.<br /><br />I also like the micro 4/3 products and used a Panasonic LX3 as a primary camera for quite awhile. For me, the low light performance is the primary incentive to go with the larger sensor on the NEX products. Different horses for different courses.<br /><br />Good luck with the learning curve. As long as you figure out the exposure adjustment settings the actual use and output will be great! I rarely do any adjustment. At some point, I will install and fire up the copy of Lightroom 4 that B&H gave away with the NEX 6.Dwayne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032059161503386028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-7874958019534918122013-01-09T19:59:34.943-06:002013-01-09T19:59:34.943-06:00All it needs is vinyl wood trim on the sides ;-)All it needs is vinyl wood trim on the sides ;-)Dwayne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032059161503386028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-49367424046764663612013-01-09T15:07:20.990-06:002013-01-09T15:07:20.990-06:00Hooray, Rhinos and Torpedoes!Hooray, Rhinos and Torpedoes!maschinengeschriebenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955578932937697125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-27527754105087970012013-01-09T06:20:32.974-06:002013-01-09T06:20:32.974-06:00Haven't seen a rhino since November!

And yes, that Torpedo DOES look like a car - the old Ford station wagon my folks used to haul us around in once upon a time (early 60s i think).J.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17716960326168886178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-77597890771328132152013-01-09T01:46:04.782-06:002013-01-09T01:46:04.782-06:00Nice Torpedo.

Speaking of cameras, I just spent a mind-boggling two weeks reading reviews on the web on various cameras. Some folks had suggested a Sony Nex6, but I, being retro-minded, wanted something that looked a little more old-school. The Fujifilm X100 was gorgeous, but no interchangeable lenses, AFAIK. The XE-1 was very nice, but more than what I wanted to spend. In the end, I wound up buying an Olympus E-PL5 Micro 4/3rds camera off eBay. Not old-school, but close enough to their Trip 35 cameras from the '70s. Now I just have to go through the huge digital photography learning curve to get the most out of the camera when it arrives. <br />And is it just me, or is that rhino smiling?<br />Nice machine.teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-71493245209472324932013-01-08T23:59:40.459-06:002013-01-08T23:59:40.459-06:00This must be a gigantic machine, judging from the ...This must be a gigantic machine, judging from the already considerable size of the rhino.
