Max's Camera Gear
Previous cameras:
In 2003 the FinePix S602Z arrived: only 3.3MP but produced OK images for the web or photo album. Had a fixed lens of 6X (35-210mm) which was good, digital VGA resolution movies at 30 fps, Dual media slots, a manual focus ring, aperture or shutter priority, hot shoe mount and an electronic mini LCD through-the-lens (TTL) viewfinder.
2012, I upgraded to the Sony Cyber-shot HX200V, Some details: Carl Zeiss lens with a huge 30x optical zoom focal range; 18.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor; Continuous shooting up to 10fps at full resolution; Active 3-way image stabilization; GPS and Compass functionality; 3D stills and Sweep Panorama; Full High Definition AVCHD video with audio up to 1920 x 1080 resolution. Optical zoom functions whilst filming. Still photo capture whilst filming.

My new camera is above - heavy but awesome!!!
Sony A7II with a Tamron 28-200mm Zoom Lens + a Samyang 14mm Wide Angle Lens.
How technology moves on.
I am now back into a Pro 35mm Full-Frame Camera, which will give me higher quality images that may have commercial use. I am looking forward to visiting all my old locations to take better photos. Had to sell a few things to find the $3,000 to get the camera I wanted, so there you go. That's life!
My first digital camera was a Fuji FinePix 1.3, which I had won in a photo competition (view photo attached) on the web at www.travelmate.com.au. It was opportune as I had recently sold my Pentax MZ50 SLR due to financial difficulties (a black day indeed). Though the FinePix 1.3 was only a “happy snappy”, it had a few good features, but of course it only wet my appetite for the real thing. I sold that camera in order to save for a better digital.
