Good idea, and I believe the import duties for bringing home a now used camera would be different than buying from overseas back at home.

Try calling Olympus for suggestions?

Thanks for the heads-up. Is your experience with Spyder in MacOS or Windows?

NICE! I’d be right in style these days with one strapped to my wrist instead of my Hamilton Khaki Auto Chrono! Just kidding...

It’s a famous watch, thanks to Apollo 13. I wear mine every few days for the past decade. What do you need to know? There is a lot on the history online, Google it.

A wristwatch is an easy, practical inconspicuous way to check the time when juggling multiple assignments or appointments, when your hands are busy with cameras, notebooks, lenses, flash. A good wristwatch, even when dressed for mud says something about you, when you raise your camera to your face, and instills a modicum of confidence in strangers you approach at events. It sometimes is a conversation starter, too. Mostly, I like them, a precision instrument with history, a piece of practical jewelry appropriate for business. That said, I don’t wear my dress watches for everyday, and consider my Omega Speedmaster my top dawg. I love the mechanicals and automatics, but have a bunch of colorful name brand quartzes I bought at closeouts as beaters. Too many batteries to replace!

The intent is theater/ performance photography, in my opinion. I’d like to see more of the expressions on faces rather than backs if heads.

Give them something to do, trucks, blocks, toys?

I’d love to see some downward shots of both the white ramp sharp angles and wavy water reflections in some geometric compositions

Everyone here on the patio got a chuckle at that.

My experience as a photographer and audiophile echoes the consensus here. I am interested in an overview of appliance features or repair histories if I ever pick up a copy.

I travel with my 2 D750s with different lenses. Rather than buying a 'better' camera body, I get better photographs, flexibility and photographic opportunities buying better flashes, lenses, modifiers, and grip equipment, etc..

My impression of your questions are that you are developing a more self-critical eye. Congratulate yourself, you are seeing the little refinements of the horizon, lighting, composition, noisy distractions from the subject(s). At this stage, technical refinements of this image will take it only so far. It's nice, don't get me wrong, but my impression is that you see more possibilities for your work. Moving past the 'snapshot' or 'grabshot' and aspiring to a more personal visual style, maybe you should grant yourself permission to spend more time on previsualizing and/or refining your execution while you're shooting. Have fun making variations, invent and discover more solutions as you shoot, different expressions, actions/poses, background, lighting, composition, etc..

Sounds like a cracked solder joint internally or a short with the connections from the flash shoe
