Mirrorless Cameras
I've been thinking about a mirrorless, for travel. Yes I can carry the D700 with the 200mm VR zoom, I've done it, it works great but it's bulky, heavy and makes you look exactly like a tourist, and is a target for theft. So I started reading about current mirrorless models. Initially I only knew about the Nikon 1, which hasn't sold very well. Today I stopped in a camera store and the guy showed me the Sony A6000. Wow. Half the size and weight of my DSLR (less than that, actually, if the comparison includes lenses) and takes really good shots - probably good enough to sell. It's especially good in low light. And I really like night shots.
It's 800 bucks.
I'm feeling a bit queasy right now. Just went to my brokerage web site and checked the dipstick on my 401K. I remember this from long ago - new camera fever. Maybe I'll be ok in the morning.
