Also if you just move your purchases to the day before or the day after all you’re doing is very slightly messing up their forecasting. They’re still getting your money, just earlier or later than that had expected.

I thought the US had a limit on the amount of times you could be president.

Also, the first class tickets for the train were totally worth it…

Welcome to our cold rainy island.

Just Skutters at the moment really

For image quality, unless it’s in particularly low light and in that low light you’re shooting something fast moving so can’t take advantage of the IBIS that the Olympus cameras have to have a longer exposure, I doubt you’ll see any difference.

The R50 looks to have a better autofocus system. By every other metric it’s extremely similar. So if you’re going to be taking lots of photos of fast moving objects, like sports I’d say the R50 would be the way to go.

If you intend to buy new then the R50 would also be the way to go, as the most recent version of the e-m5 (now o-m5) would be way out of your budget and there’s not been a new e-m10 in sometime. However you’ll get a lot more camera by going secondhand however. Somewhere like mpb.com if you’re concerned about buying peer to peer.

Don’t really know much about canon RF lenses. I know there’s not nearly as big a range of options.

I’ve tried doing a comparison purely for size (i have no clue if the canon would be in budget with these lenses) with as closely equivalent focal length

The shorter focal length https://camerasize.com/compact/#633.92,904.948,ha,t

The longer (couldn’t find a native RF mount lens so it’s an EF with an adapter) https://camerasize.com/compact/#633.95,904.232.5,ha,t

I’d look at something like an e-m10 or e-m5 (whichever version gives you enough money over to get lenses) for lenses a 14-42mm and a 40-150mm would give a really good focal range (there’ll be several different options for both of these lenses so get the ones that have the best reviews in budget)

The reason I recommend these cameras is the size and weight of the body and lens combination will be less than a lot of others. So as you’re going hiking with them it’s something that needs to be thought about.

Or, you know she could get another job and build a retirement fund through that.

You say that like she was going to make a fortune in academia.

She’s dropped out of a doctorate which means she likely already has more qualifications than you and I combined.

Not Hitler though.

Eventually it’ll just be a K9 update with a new name and logo.

Probably played some golf on the moon.

Noises?

Apparently this shift in strategy worked, since the company is still here.

$3,000,000,000,000 understatement.

As others have pointed out, 40 year tech still beat current tech.

Ent and lower decks often get skipped, everything else occasionally.

Prodigy, never. That theme is up there with Voy and DS9.

Star Trek Prodigy.

And it’s bloody brilliant.
