Here is an example of the comparison between digital and analog photography. It may look a little stupid but I think it shows the differences in life and technology. It is a screen capture so it may be a little fuzzy. Take a look! I think it makes a statement.

I had pretty much the same problem with my Epson wf 3620 printer. I had some ink cartridges refilled and they didn’t work. I bought new ones. I left the cartridges out of the printer and the ink lines in the head dried up. The fittings that went into the cartridges were plugged up. I ended up dabbing water on the fittings and using a brush to clean them and wetting them down and injecting water through the lines. Then I put the cartridges in, ran the cleaning and setup and calibration program and everything was ok. That was a mess! But it works!
I also emptied out the ink catcher tank. It was easy and quick!

You can use an iphone or equivalent with a light box type program to illuminate the slides. If you have an ipad you can use the camera in invert mode and take photos of black and white negatives.You need to use your camera on a tripod to take the photo. you also need to put the ipad at a distance from toe negative. If you make a stand for the ipad then you focus the camera on the ipad. It isn’t the best but it works. The platform is easy to fabricate.

I use a plastic bag to store the batteries in. I have 3 batteries. I have them numbered so I can keep track. I rubber band them together with the contacts on opposite sides.
Years ago when I was starting in photography I was walking around with 2 batteries and a sylvania m3 flashbulb in my pocket. Believe it or not (kind of weird) somehow the flashbulb went off in my pocket! I was only 8 or 9 years old so I was still learning. Everything melted in my pocket and burned me kind of bad. I learned to make sure the hard way to make sure that everything is kept separate and insulated!
So make sure you keep everything insulated and safe!

I have the m3. It is great! The model 4 also looks good. Sony is a little different with the menus and such but is a good camera. I got tired of lugging around a dslr with lenses. I tried the fz1000. I didn’t like the soft focus and other things. For example the f stop only goes to f8 on the small end which isn’t too good for depth of field if you are trying to utilize what you can do for certain photos. So I bought the RX10 M3. Great camera! Don’t need to carry around all the gear. It is a little pricey but worth it!
have fun!
have fun!

Another good way is to use an iphone or equivalent with a program like softbox. Take the slide, put it on the phone with the program loaded and put the camera on a tripod or a stable surface and take a close up photo. Mine worked pretty good.This is a 50+ year old slide. I took it on macro mode with my sony dsc rx10m3. It might look a little grainy but I think it looks pretty good. You put the program on white color and bright and it looks ok. (I think!) Put it onto your device and edit it. I used my IPad with photos after importing it from the Sony transfer (wireless) program. It is easy.

Beautiful shots! I was on the USS Okinawa (LPH-3) in the 70’s. It is now a reef off the California coast! I hope this one lasts longer!

Beautiful photos! I was on the USS Okinawa (LPH-3) which is now a reef off the coast of Southern California. I think I have some photos of that myself!

Thanks everybody! I know that not everybody likes things. If everybody was the same the world would be very very boring!

Here are some photos I took at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. I took it when I was on a photo tour in Edinburgh. I liked the symmetry and patterns in the building.

Another comment. The fz1000 minimum aperture is only f8. So f2.8 to f8 is not a lot of range for depth of field. If you want to take a picture and want to get control of depth of field. I remember using depth of field for artistic purposes. The Sony goes from f2.8 to minimum of f16 for more depth of field control. I like having control of my gear. That is why I got rid of the fz1000 and bought the RX10m3. It gives me more control.
Anyway just another comment. I hope this doesn’t seem too nitpicky. I have been photographing for over 60 years. Wow that is a long time. I hope I can keep on for a long long time! Good luck!

Another statement to this topic. I downloaded the new imaging edge program. It looks better than the old app. It works great. The remote part of it works great. The interface is better, easier to use. like other people have said the Sony is a little bit heavy but I feel it is worth it because it takes care of everything. It is all I need to carry. The imaging edge works with iphone,ipad. Love the whole package!

Hi! You seem to be the same age as I am. Old! I started out with the same type of gear. I had the Panasonic fz1000. (after having a nikon dslr, too heavy for travel). I did not like it. I had little control over the exposure. So I finally ended up with the Sony RX10M3. This was before the model4 came out. It was expensive but worth it. It takes great pictures. It gave me control over everything. The lens is great!
Go for it! Model 3 or 4. They are great!
Sorry about the “old” reference in the beginning. I was only kidding.

Hello,
I own the RX10M3. It is also very good! I had the fz1000. I got rid of it because I did not like it. I was a little disappointed with it. I know it may be going too far but I noticed that the lens fstop is not too good. It starts out at f2.8 and maxes out at f8. I shot film for years and had everything available. I wanted to have all the settings that were available
The Sony is a great camera. I have taken pictures all over the world and they were great with the Sony!
It is easy to use and with the long zoom and handling it does the job well.
Have fun! You will love it!
