I have a new toy, a new camera and we are one. Anyone who knows me will know I adore cameras and have inherited a large (still growing!) collection from both my grandfathers. The are my pride and joy, including my first SLR – an Olympus of course – and a much cherished Yashica that my mum has passed down to me.
We were lucky, my sister and I. The head teacher of our tiny (slightly bohemian) primary school was a keen photographer and created a dark room for us all. We were taking and developing our own photos before we even hit double digits – it was the most incredible introduction into photography. From there, on to art school, to studying Fine Art its always been a passion. And it’s one of the reasons I ‘got into’ Instagram. I don’t do any other forms of social media, and friends laugh at how un-techy I am! But I just love beautiful imagery. However I am not a photographer.
Why is that important? Well, despite understanding cameras and loving using them ‘manually’ I also don’t always have the time to play and I’m not quick enough to always use all the settings properly. Which is way I love my new camera, the Olympus E-M10 Mark II. Now let me be honest here: the camera was a gift from Olympus. However I never accept gifts from brands or companies if I don’t fully believe in what they are promoting or sending me and I’ve always loved Olympus, so trying out this camera has been a real dream and no brainer for me. Why do I love it?
- It’s compact. It’s light, fits in my bag and isn’t a pain to carry around like the bigger bodied cameras. But has amazing picture quality.
- All the models (the Pen and the E-M10) now have wi-fi so you can take pictures and send them straight to your phone.
- You can remote control the camera with your phone via the app.
- The PEN is stylist and retro looking, a blogger favourite, however I have the E-M10 which is still lovely in my opnion and has a fantastic clear view finder which I love to use.
