    Lumix DMC-GX7 (2013) / Fujifilm X-T5 (2022)

    My latest comparison …

    I made a little comparison between my new Fujifilm X-T5 (2022) and its Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR
    With my first Panasonic (really serious) the superb Lumix DMC-GX7 (2013) and the little Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f/1.8 MSC AF

    The turn of the century was a great time for photographers who preferred DSLRs to compacts
    Affordable prices hover around $3,500 except for the Nikon. Contrary to the prices we were accustomed to seeing with DSLRs from 1991-1998 of $10,000 to $30,000 USD

    The big question in the year 2000 is, buy or wait!

    Minolta RD-3000 (1999) 2.7 MP $3,400.00 USD
    Nikon D1 (99-2000) 2.7 MP $5,600.00 USD
    Fujifilm FinePix S1 (2000) 3.4 MP $3,500.00 USD

    Not a lot of difference for 9 years development. I think I prefer the colour of the X-T5, but only just.

    I had fun making a comparison between my new acquisition the a7 and my Nikon D600 bought in 2012.
    In 2013, the Sony a7 shook things up in the world of 24x36 cameras, dominated at the time by Canon and Nikon.

    The advantages and disadvantages of both formats are clearly visible here.
    Proving once again that having two sensor formats can be very useful in different circumstances.

    The little Rebels of 2003 and 2013

    Who has owned the first Canon EOS Digital Rebel?
    www.flickr.com/photos/maoby/albums/72177720316167476/

    In 2003 we were looking at the latest DSLR releases that hovered around $2,000
    And suddenly Canon releases a $1,000 US Digital Rebel !!
    It's the panic of the small world of digital photography, and everyone is starting to readjust their prices.
    It's the golden age for photographers like me, who were waiting.
    And between 2003 and 2005, a total reversal of the situation, where film cameras almost completely disappeared

    Yes, of course
    By using them from time to time, like the comparisons I make once or twice a month.

    Combining business with pleasure 😁

    They simply need to be recharged at least once a year if possible, or buy new batteries on eBay.
    Or call on specialists to make something new out of something old, like here:

    It must be said that I love cameras that allow the use of AA 😍
    Like the Kodak DCS 200 (1992) or the Minolta RD-3000 (1999) or the Fujifilm FinePix cameras etc.

    Tribute to all the first FF !

    I well remember in 2002 the arrival of Canon's first FF with its impressive 11.1MP.
    What a beautiful machine for its time, but this $8,000 US made it inaccessible for the vast majority of us.

    Then eleven years later, another pleasant surprise, this time with the arrival of the first FF ML
    With a more reasonable price of $1,700 US, we all know the rest...

    For fun, I made a comparison between the two stars from another era.
    I share my results with you here www.flickr.com/photos/maoby/albums/72177720316553723/
