.....mine came today without a box. I'm getting up to speed on the menus and whatnot so I can shoot fun stuff on my trip to Berlin.
Observations:
The camera is much smaller than it looks in most of the product photos.
The rear screen is beautiful. Big and sharp and exciting to compose on. Perfect for studio work.
It's thinner and lighter than I thought it would be.
I've already signed up for my free 50 gigabytes of Drop Box storage that comes with the camera. I'll have that filled up in a month or so......
The lack of buttons and dials is frightening at first. Then, over time, less so.
I took it along with me to lunch at Whole Foods today. Paul and Chris liked the rear display but dismissed the camera out of hand. I expected no less from two very serious shooters who are: over 35 years old, shoot with medium format digital cameras such as the Leica S2 and who are not at all into cellphone tech.
How do I like it? I don't know yet. I haven't had time to walk around and shoot with it. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
Final observation: I've been messing around with the menus and the Android apps since around 11 am today. That's twelve hours. I still haven't run down the first battery. Not even close.
I'm looking forward to shooting all around Berlin. I'll try to do daily updates with photos and small observations.
