Oldies; but goodies

Re: Oldies; but goodies

I agree with you about the oldies but goodies. As someone who used cameras back in the 1960's I am simply amazed by cameras even just a few years ago as to what they are capable of compared to the old film days when we had to set the shutter speed and aperture using the guidelines on the film box, or a separate light meter. I am amazed by all the whining and ranting about how this camera or that one falls short in some area in this day and age. I love my Canon G12 as a camera to grab when head out the door. It is simply amazing to me as to its capabilities given its size. I also have a Canon G3X when I want more reach and a larger sensor. I still fondly remember the Canon G2 as being a fantastic little camera as well. Each to their own, but you are quite correct when it comes to the oldies (5 or 6 years old now) in my experience.
