What I am Doing Now (17 June 2022)
Once again, I’m changing the post format. 😅 Really can’t make up my mind. No more blogging, just occasional “photography life” updates only.
So, recently I’m thinking about making my gear smaller, e.g. shooting with a smaller camera and possibly with a single lens only.
For starters, I replaced my tripod with Manfrotto 055CXPRO4 , which is smaller (54cm closed length) than my last one (Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 with 61cm closed length) yet slightly heavier and sturdier, as going smaller doesn’t mean compromising on image quality.
The next up is replacing my aging DSLR, namely Nikon D610 that I bought back in 2014. Since DSLR is dying, my next body will surely be mirrorless, but rather than simply sticking with Nikon, I might want to give others a try, as moving to mirrorless is a good chance to introduce changes. So, let’s see. 😅

Excited to see your experience with Mirrorless and which camera you end up choosing 😁 I’m still jealous of the new tripod, tempts me to upgrade mine too!
It’s a long overdue, but finally starting to explore the options! Yes, this tripod is short enough! No need to try hard to make it fit into my suitcase anymore. 😅
Yes it has been a while, I realized I’ve been through 3 FF bodies and I think 3 APSC bodies in the time you’ve owned one 😂 I guess you’re content with upgrading PC too then? Yes it’s a hassle having to remove the head and take it apart to make it fit!
Haha, that’s a lot! In the meantime, I’ll use my work PC to open RAW and convert to DNG, then edit on my old MacBook Pro. 😅
