So I went hiking this weekend, and I just realized something. Typically when when my gf and I go hiking, if no one is around I set up the tripod to get a picture of both of us at a waterfall or some sort of landmark along the hike. If other folks are there they are usually kind enough to take our shot(and we return the favor if they like as well).
Now, this past weekend was the first weekend with the Pen out hiking. We went hiking at a popular spot and there was a kind lady who took our picture for us, using my Pen. I just though, if I would have handed this lady a big SLR to take our photo, would she have? Big cameras can be intimidating for those just used to a point and click type camera. Even though the Pen is not just a P&S type camera, to the less educated, it looks like one(or sorta).
All I did was set the lens to 14mm, Aperature to 5.6, and she just clicked away.
Anyone actually hand their big SLR to someone to take a photo? Good or bad experiences with this?
I must say, owning the Pen so far has been a huge pleasure on many fronts.
