Re: EX1 - Thoughts

Brian!

I can understand your hesitancy to give up the EX1. It is (was) a great camera. Still use mine, though that is not because i wasn't looking around for a new one. They don't sell the EX2F here. And I want to see it and feel it before I pay the $$.

I love the feel of the EX1. And while it is heavier and larger, that really is of no concern to me as I hang it from my neck. I did replace the stock strap though, with a new Matin Vintage strap. You really don't notice that it's there.

Over the years I've used your settings and they have made a difference! For me the form and feel is just right. Now I use the OVF as I have difficulty seeing the screen in bright light, and I use a B+W CPL as I like the over saturated colours.

I see that Canon is joining a number of other makes by stuffing a large sensor into a compact body. Now if Samsung would do that into something like a EX1 body and with a longer zoom - I might jump for that. Nice to have a new toy.

Best of luck with your Canon. The pics I've seen (that you have posted) were wonderful. Just what we would expect from you.

Thanks
