It's been a long process, which probably began right when I bought my first vintage film SLR last year, but I am getting rid of my Nikon D90. I suppose the long process ended when I returned from Japan with only a handful of images captured with the huge D90 kit, the kit that took up a significant portion of my pannier and weighed over 2 kg! After processing the images that came from the DMC-LX3 I realised that for what I was shooting, the DSLR just wasn't required, outside of the interchangeable lens capabilities. My lifestyle and interests have outgrown that of fiddling with images on a computer screen to achieve a certain result, I need a go everywhere camera that records life as it happens.
 
So I bought a camera that sits smack in between the two, a compact camera, with a large-ish sensor and interchangeable lenses. The Panasonic GF2.
 
I wont bore anyone with the details, that's what Google is for, needless to say the images below show exactly why this camera will go a lot more places than my D90 ever did. (1.380kg vs 2.150kg!!!)

So I've spent the last couple of weeks playing with it, as I became more impressed by its performance I was able to justify the purchase of  replacement lenses, so that now I have the exact same range that I had with the Nikon; that is 20mm f2.5 (20mm replacement), 14-140mm zoom (18-250mm replacement) and 7-14mm (10-20mm replacement) (the GF2 has a x2 crop factor so these lenses match the Nikon with its x1.5 crop). The other good news is that I purchased an adapter that allows me to use my M-mount and FD lenses, with the 35mm f1.4 (50mm replacement) providing outstanding results in low light and as a portrait lens (manual focus only, but super easy with the GF2).
 
Here's some proof.

...and some of Amelia getting bigger!!

P.S. Although this is a great camera, I made the mistake of leaving all film paraphernalia at home when I went to Melbourne, big mistake, street camera it is NOT. Digital just doesn't cut the mustard on the harsh and happening streets of Melbourne city!! (On/off switches, battery usage worries, brightly lit LCD screen and electronic focus problems, blerg.........) Luckily, I did not buy it as a street machine.
