My System Camera Journey

Following the poem, Road Not Taken by Robert Frost, I took a different route than most to my system camera journey. The Micro Four Thirds. Panasonic Lumix GF1 (will be referred to as GirlFriend1 onwards). Why I made the decision to take this route... I came from P&S cameras, so they all use LCD as their composition tool vs a viewfinder. So its only natural that the system I choose initially would also use LCD as its composition tools (in early 2010, no DSLR cameras used LCDs for composition, the Canon 60D & 600D come out only in 2011).

And what a journey it had been. But I made the right choice. My GirlFriend1 has been awesome. Still is. LiveView, AEL/AFL, RO3 guide, Manual Focus Assist are some of the great feature of this fantastic camera. Another great feature is its ability to accept adapted lens from other systems (Nikon-F, Canon EOS, Canon FD, Leicas, Minoltas & many more)...
