Does Size Really Matter ?

DOES SIZE REALLY MATTER?

This is a question we have all heard ... and today ... my answer is YES.

For years I lugged around my Olympus camera - a camera I have enjoyed. The Olympus has features I never used. It has features I don't know exist. IT IS BULKY.

A few weeks ago - I decided to check out smaller cameras ... "just look." (Now is a good time to refer back to my May 15th post)

After a couple of hours of reading online reviews; price comparison; and shipping options.....I once again pushed the infamous SEND button. Three days later, the UPS man placed a small cardboard box on my doorstep containing my new camera. Does size really matter?

You be the judge.

Fast forward to yesterday. Spike and I were out running errands when the time came to make a detour and let him 'stretch his legs.' I had my "new - small - compact" camera in the car and decided to take it out. Immediately, I was more observant of my surroundings, looking for a picture to take. If not for my "new - small - compact" camera, I would never have seen the chipmunk sitting on the bank of the stream.... watching me. Nor would I have noticed the two Blue Jays going in and out of the exposed tree roots ... wonder what's in there?

I have a new set of eyes to see the world ... a world always there, but I did not notice. Now I believe I will - thanks to my "new - small - compact" camera.

Does size really matter ? YES

So, the question I leave you with today is: If today's blog has a picture of my old bulky camera and my new sleek camera ... with what did I take the picture of the two?

Ummm ... another story for another day.
