After a lot of thought and consideration I decided I would move from the Nikon DSLR family of gear I’ve had for a number of years into the Micro Four Thirds world. So I boxed up all the Nikon gear and sent in for sale.
Yesterday the vendor and I came to agreement on price and I’m taking part of the proceeds to purchase a Lumix DMC-GH2 with a 14mm-140mm lens and spare battery.
I really loved shooting with the Nikon cameras and lenses, especially the most recent purchase a D300S. But what I’ve found recently is I became a lot more reluctant to lug around the heavy camera and lenses for a variety of reasons.
Since the first rule of buying a camera is buy one you’ll use, it felt like a good time to try out something smaller, lighter and less obtrusive.
The new camera is due to arrive this coming Friday and I’ll post some first impressions after it gets into my hands. I’m particularly looking forward to experimenting with the HD video capabilities which have received good reviews for this camera.
