My New Camera

I'm flat out charging batteries... it take sooooo long with a new camera.

I now have a new Olympus OM-D E-M1 with a 12-50 weatherproof zoom and 17mm f1.8.

The new GoPro 3+ Black arrived today as well. Yeah, I know I'm a slow learner - you'd think after I damage one, and lose one I'd get the hint that I'm not supposed to have one, but I couldn't help myself.

Its always a good day when you get new gear!



Al.

Nice!

They sound like great cameras. EM1 rated the highest in camera of the year vote by owners at Dpreview.com.

Hi Al

A tip that I use is to stick a flouro post-it note with "don't forget" written on it inside my helmet.

That way when I put my helmet on I see it and it reminds to check everything before riding off.

Cheers

Happy for you Sheeny, new gear.

Does this mean we're in for some rain?

Cheers

Thanks guys. I'll do my best not to lose this one.

I hope we are in for some rain... really! We have 2 horses on the property and are feeding them in summer. I have only had to mow once since winter (I'm not complaining about not mowing - its just an indicator of how dry it is ). Normally about now we would be knee deep in grass in the paddocks...

Al.
