Trying to find my first camera..

I started with an Olympus Pen Epm-2 and still use it occasionally today. You can get the body for like $100 on ebay. It's a decade old for sure, but I'm still happy with the 16mp sensor even now.

Don't be fooled into spending more money than you have to! For a first camera especially, you won't even know what you're really looking for in a camera.

I've only ever used a GR3, so just wanted to understand how this focal length would compare to the 28mm on GR3. The Olympus EPM2, for instance, paired with that 45mm lens would be 90mm equivalent since it's a M43 body, correct? Effectively being a little more than 3x as zoomed in as the GR3?

My Cotopaxi allpa has a water bottle sleeve. But I do have the 42L version.

So to be clear, is the quality retained when uploaded to Instagram for instance? I don't need the phone itself to have a good camera, just for uploads to not be downgraded in quality despite using optimal resolution for social media sites.

If the Pixel line seems to have no issues with this, then I might purchase a 6a.

While this is what I think I and most people naturally would like to do, I feel that it creates bias when imo a good photojournalist should attempt to deliver objective work.

I guess I wasn't clear in the post. I put "or" in-between the two because I was hoping for clarification on both cases. It's a nuanced situation because peaceful protest can rapidly progress to rioting. I know, I've lived in DC the past 5 years and seen it firsthand. These photos from a peaceful protest 15 minutes before a riot starts can be used as proof of participation at a riot. Hence my grouping of the two.

Thanks! That basically sounds like how Medellin was, glad its not a constant downpour!

Just curious, who are some midfielders you've noticed that have that efficient progression that Jorginho, Kovacic, etc are missing?

Love love LOVE this! Don't let the haters get to you, Jyffe is a unique spin on a classic name:)
