How you gonna keep me warm?
Collect Call – Metric
I’m not sure whether its a yay or nay moment, as I don’t know how to cope with a full weekend to myself. I’ve had the Saturday and Sunday to myself this week, and I was feeling restless. I watched TV, went out for a short while, then came back and watched more TV. I spent time with my parents, my grandparents, and my cats. Yet somehow, I still felt like something was missing, and when I was called and asked if I was going to work today, I gladly said yes, because I realise that I miss my little, 6×6, jail cell of a room.
Aaaaanyway, we were having some random lunch conversation and then it turned to cameras, and my mum wanted a new one to replace her G11. Something relatively cheap, decent in low-light, and smaller than the G series. So after scouring the internet, I came up with the LX5, S95/S100, and the XZ-1.
After much hoohaa-ing and such, we decided on the XZ-1.
The thing that stood out is the f/1.8 bit, which is quite a wonder to me as I’ve not really seen many cameras with that wide an aperture. Even at max zoom, the aperture is only f/2.5 which is damn amazing. Or maybe I’m behind times a little. Whatever, I like this very much, such big apertures on a compact camera.
