Preparations continue...

| Sony NEX-3N w/ Zoom lens |
The new camera has been purchased. It is a Sony NEX-3N. We purchased a "package" which includes a 55-210 zoom lens. We added a UV filter to our pile of goodies. A UV filter is great for reducing haze, but more importantly it is a very inexpensive way to protect a lens worth hundreds. I also picked up a polarizing filter. This is, IMHO, an absolute necessity for taking quality outdoor shots. By the time I was finished, my wallet was significantly lighter, and the "package" was ultimately heavier / larger than I would have wished for. However, it does a lot more than the ol' point-n-shoot Panasonic Lumix which it is replacing. And... it is indeed a fraction of the weight / size of the 35mm Olympus OM-10 that I took on our first Cruise.
Test photos so far have been great, and although I haven't even begun to explore the massive capabilities of this little technological miracle, I am very impressed with the ease of use. I am looking forward to posting some great pics and videos here in just a few more months.
