hey all,
Well I sold my X100s a month ago, and thought that my digital needs(mostly taking pictures of mindless stuff, and stuff for ebay listings, my serious/personal work is still shot all on film)... Anywho, I've realized I'd like to get another small, digital camera. I'm not into bells and whistles, I prefer the "look" of CCD chips, but don't feel like going back to using a c2005 digital camera
!
So, doing some basic(well, about 10mins) research, the GF1 is coming up as a "good buy" from a good number of people online.
I like the 3:4 ratio straight out of the camera, so a M4/3 camera is kinda what I'd be after. A G16 isn't capable enough, and if I could use different lenses via adapters, that's cool with me(like using my 55 3.5 AIS Micro Nikkor)
I'm seeing these things on Craigslist locally for ~$100-140 or so, not a huge amount of money, but with a used body, used AF 20/1.7, and a Novoflex Nikon lens adapter, I'm pushing $500 or so in total for this little kit. Not too shabby, but I'd like to keep the price down.
I hardly ever shoot a video, and if I do, I don't need whizbang features like 1080p or crap like that. Regular 480p or 720p max is fine. If it has 1080p, that's cool, but if it can be dumbed-down in-camera to 720p or lower, even better!
thx,
Dan
