Since we joined the Gosport Camera Club I have been using my Nikon a lot more. To be honest I’m not massively impressed with the results. Let me make something clear; I am not blaming the camera for my dissatisfaction, it is entirely down to my lack of skill with the camera, and that I am finding the kit too bulky and heavy. That’s not the kit’s fault, it’s my weakness.
Looking back through my posts, in 2022 I actually got as far as setting up a sale of my setup to MBP.com, I think then, I would have got around £600. I wonder how much I would get if I set up the same sale today?
My view (not necessarily Elayne’s) is that Elayne should change her kit, for entirely different reasons – it is completely obsolete; a good camera but almost impossible to buy accessories.
Elayne said (and I don’t hold her to this) that she had been thinking about changing her camera, perhaps to a compact/. A couple of the ladies in the camera club use nikon cool pix or cannon ixus type cameras, and she had thought about ditching her ancient Sony and replacing it with a compact.
That immediately got me thinking. What if I did the same, and we both got the same camera. Between the two of us, we could get quite reasonable compacts with the proceeds from both our sales. I am seriously considering this. Elayne is thinking about it and so am I.
Qw’ll probably make our minds up what we are going to do in readiness for the next camera club season in September.
