There is an interesting read in the latest Outdoor Photographer magazine. It is an article by David Muench explaining how he has moved from the 4x5 view camera to a smaller format and why he did it. He is now shooting with a Panasonic Lumix FZ50 and the Canon PowerShot G10. He explains how he keeps the ISO set to 100 and never shoots above that. Today he even shoots some shots handheld.
I had a chance to meet with Amy White & Al Petteway in the N.C. mountains. They won an Emmy for there music used on the TV series about National Parks. They also are published photographers, having their own books and have been published in National Geographic magazine. They saw my GF1, and wanted to ask about it. They also have a Lumix camera, but my GF1 was a step up from the one they owned.
So, people who could have any camera that they wanted are going to using smaller format cameras. I realize that I have now been a photographer for 52 years and using the GF1 with my three lenses gives me as much pleasure in making pictures as all the pro equipment that I have gotten rid of. Its going to be fun seeing how well this works when I go to the mountains of N.C. to shoot color. I figure I will be using the 14-45mm and the 45-200mm lens for much of that work, while I use the 20mm for a walk around city lens. This is so much fun using the smaller camera.
