My new camera really seems to struggle to take decent pictures in strong, natural light, especially on the macro setting, which is bloody annoying, especially when you consider it's cost more than every other camera killed by the Blog, put together, its near five-hundred quid, being more than all their forty-to-sixties! And it struggles both with focusing and compensating for the light levels.
So I'm already more disappointed by Olympus, than I was by the two Fuji Finepix I started with, before discovering the Nikon Coolpix, with which most of the Blog, to date, has been produced. Not that they were brilliant, they all died (about four or five of them), either from inordinate fluff finding itself into the lens, or components of the battery-housing catches breaking, and two actually went dead, after lens/focus failure.
But, it's par for the course, not in modern Britain, but the modern World, they (capitalists) are not interested in the customer, but only in the customer's money, and the customer is no longer first, nor right. We won't get to the stars if we can't build what have become 'basic' electronics, properly, and anyone who's switched (or been forcibly switched) to Windows11 will know we are actually going backwards now.
But, enough whinging, I shot these when I was up at the storage unit the other day, and while they're not brilliant shots, they are fun images!
Battery compartment doors are a personal bugbear of mine. The cheapest bit of thin plastic, and as soon as it breaks the whole device is destroyed.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, Dave, the last dead Fuji was an 2nd-hand, older model, and it had a better flap, than the previous few which I bought new from Catalogue shops, so they deliberately made them easier to break on latter models! I will still try to get a decent Fuji off of that there evilBay, as they are so convenient!
