I share the bitter taste in your mouth. Just a horrible burden forced on us for decades.
But how is the FP after the latest firmware update? and the new optical eyepiece?
Akira, I can understand your reservations. I just hope that Japan does not experience a COVID surge as a result of the games. Here in Melbourne we are now in the middle of our 5th state government lockdown with an extension highly likely, so I really feel for all others battling the COVID pandemic.
Stay safe Akira San.
Thank you, gentlemen, for kind words and concern. I would have to say that this event would become the worst shame that Japan has exposed to the world since the defeat of the WWII.
Snoogly, the FP has been noticeably improved by two major updates both in terms of image quality and functionality. The natural cooling construction works great in the summer in Tokyo. The FP offers neither high-ISO or long exposure noise reduction. I have done many 30-second exposure in the summer night last year to shoot lightnings but never missed the long exposure NR. I have shot many images at ISO 6400 and 12800 buit, again, never missed the high-ISO NR.
