DSLR vs MFT

 vs  

Yes, this is exactly what I want to see. 

I "was" a photography fan last time. I had gone through courses from the beginner to advanced. And I had some photography experience but put it into sleep after few decades. 

I used to shoot night scenery at Harbour City and with my best friend Mr. Zero. I loved those moment when we will grab a beer and waiting in the cold weather. Did the "Bulb" setting and using a shutter cable to capture those light trails.

My first equipment was using my Dad's Olympus OM-10. Tell you a secret when I was young I used to carry that camera bag at home and pretend myself as Indian Jones stealing some precious gems inside the bag and jumping around. I did cause many damages to the camera. Well that's when I was I think 8 years old. 

Never thought of that when I was 12 years old I followed my Uncle Lawrence to Sham Shui Po to attend photography classes. Seriously would I understand everything the instructor said? I guess I took away 50%.

After many years, I got my hands on the Nikon F-601 with a kit lens of 50mm - 210mm. All thanks to my Dad, it was still a film camera. (You can image how many years back)

So why am I talking about this here?

DSLR vs MFT is my dilemma. I wanted a DSLR few years back and I had decided to go for the Canon 550D. When I decided to pay for my purchases, the sales auntie persuade me that I should get the Olympus E-P1 instead. She said since you don't have much budget and the E-P1 is giving 2 lens. I took her advice.

I was very disappointed with the E-P1 because, I am very like to have a view finder and construct my picture. What I have on the E-P1 is LCD Screen (Low resolution kind).

Nevertheless, I managed to take some nice pictures but the feel is not there. And now I wanted something more, a Full Frame DSLR, but very soon my desire is gone. Because it is selling at S$2,500+ (Body only), and with a nice lens costing about S$1,400. Final bill will be S$3,900.00 

This is way out of my league. I will plan to use my E-P1 to make some stunning shots.

Intern Mr. TKL
Friday was my intern's last day, well though I wanted him to go (because he was sitting too near me) but I did miss him some how. Wishing you all the best!
