Hi everyone,
I've been using an Olympus FE-140 for a long time. Bought a second one on fleabay for cheap. One of its major problems is that the battery compartment doors break on these and you can't lock them. Good used is okay if the seller guarantees it. I'd get something fancier but I'm overwhelmed with auto problems and the cost of parts.
Thanks and be well

It would seem that you could buy one or two of these from eBay and use them as parts. If you are capable of such, maybe a little practice and you be able to fix the battery compartment door.

Very nice. Did you see the dragonfly I captured? Not with a macro. https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-710791-1.html

Thank you, unfortunately I'm embarrassed as to how dirty the window screen is. LOL

That would be 1970s or '70s. Placing the apostrophe before the s makes it possessive, and a decade is plural.

Always good to do incremental backups. Both Windows and MacOS have easy to use utilities or you can just do it manually.

To me, ergonomics is as important as the picture quality, if it isn't comfortable and physically intuitive them I'm less likely to use it. Great picture quality is definitely a plus, but I'm nowhere near being able to afford a full frame camera/sensor. Not to mention how expensive the big glass is.

Hoping you will indulge us with your eval of each after a couple months usage (please)
So far I've used the Olympus more, it's quicker/faster than the Sony. I like a fast on ready to shoot. I'm guessing that the newer Sony are quicker. The Sony lenses are quite pricey compared to the Olympus M. Zuiko, probably better picture quality in that regard. With the Sony, you basically have to hold the lens instead of the body, whereas the Olympus has more of a traditional camera feel to it, though smaller. At some point I'll likely get a newer Sony body, keeping using the lenses I've already accumulated.

Woke up one morning and discovered a huge dragonfly on my bathroom window screen. I didn't figure I'd be able to take a picture of it, since they usually fly away immediately, but somehow I managed. Shooting through the screen wasn't very good at all, so I went outside to get a better shot, but I kept my distance since I didn't want to scare it away. Not very good pics at all, but definitely an unusual find.

Fuji doesn't make cameras, FujiFilm makes cameras. Fuji makes bicycles.

A cannon? A cannon is an artillery piece that shoots projectiles. Canon makes cameras, not cannons!

I got tired of lugging around my big heavy DSLR cameras, so I thought I'd try something smaller and lighter. Bought both of these used, that way if I decide I don't like them I can sell them and probably get back most of what I paid for them. Unfortunately both cameras needed a bit of work, which was a challenge, but I managed quite well thanks to the IFIXIT website. Olympus PEN E-PL7 and Sony NEX-C3
