@rolf I hate it when I switch conditioners and the new one just doesn't work.
@minnermann I prefer the second- you have a foreground, mid, and background; to me it's more-interesting; the first is flat - it has less depth.
@[email protected] sure - it all depends on what you want. I couldn't shoot event photography with one (no viewfinder) and outdoors could be challenging (monitors can be hard to see in bright sun), but it's quite compact. 1.5x crop gives you extra reach too. Most camera systems are better now than ever before; you're looking to find what works for you.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Olympus are small & light - lenses as well because of the 2x crop factor of the MFT system. My 'daily driver' is my Nikon Z - simply a better camera. But - what do you want to shoot? That will determine what lense(s) you will want/need and may guide your choice. Ergonomics is huge: my Nikon feels natural in my hand, the Olympus is always a struggle. Best bet - see what your friends shoot and see if you can try them. Who knows - maybe you're a latent Canon user!

@kevinbowen In that case I'd look a bit higher (again, Keith Cooper has assembled enough resources to make your eyes bleed) - I'm considering an Epson P900 (pigment inks, handles heavy stock, large ink reservoirs - but not as heavy as the P5370) as a good compromise. Basically, Canon or Epson have the best support, ICC profiles, etc. Good luck!

@[email protected] an app called "the photographer's ephemeris" has been around for many years - apparently has an iOS version (don't use iOS, so I have no more info than that). Not sure of cost, or rating- but perhaps that helps in your search.
@kevinbowen what max size? What is "portable "? Printing is expensive - the printer, the paper, the inks - does she really want to print, or just have prints made? If you're not going to print regularly (weekly) an inkjet printer may not be a good idea. Are you looking for quality output, or just a printed record (i.e. is colour fidelity important?) An excellent resource is Keith Cooper (YouTube/northlight images)
