I have to come up front and write how grateful I feel about the opportunity I had – to talk directly to the people who design and make those wonderful cameras – mostly for one reason: the chance to raise our user voices and opinions, be it praises or concerns about a specific product. Equipped with the camera body, two batteries and an f/4 lens, I ran out of the building and into a massive rain storm….Well, I thought I’ll give it an hour or so to pass but boy, was I wrong.
