However how on earth do you know what you've got in the shot if there's no viewfinder?

Another reason was that I suddenly got pains at the base of my thumbs. Apparently my finger joints are wearing out. However 15 yrs later it's not too bad, the Dr said playing the piano would help but I can't so it's typing for me. It's also a case of knowing what sets the pain off, I never shake my hands freely and am careful when drying them too, it works for me. :-)elizamatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088099346157817009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465867677762395374.post-71622024437137491962017-11-12T13:53:16.213-05:002017-11-12T13:53:16.213-05:00I'm sorry to hear about the pain you are exper...I'm sorry to hear about the pain you are experiencing in your hands. As a fellow hobbyist photographer, I can only imagine how frustrating that must be for you.

My hands are fine at the end of the day, but I'm frequently leaving with a sore neck, and even headaches at times from carrying that weight around.<br /><br />I shoot in RAW all the time, and yeah it's absolutely time consuming. I'm afraid to switch out for everyday stuff though, as I can just see myself forgetting to check the format settings before an event and not switch back.<br /><br />Love the idea of a having an "everyday" camera now though! Thanks for the inspiration. I'll have to check out Fujifilm's line next time I'm out tech shopping! :DAeryn Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728256057272344268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465867677762395374.post-42372683015717161432017-09-19T10:17:00.272-04:002017-09-19T10:17:00.272-04:00That is true.
