I am considering my first sortie into the digital photography arena. No, I do not mean a DSLR. Not before the price of a FF plummets. Well, it is not just about the money I can or, more aptly, cannot shell out. It is more about versatility and fun. Put together, I need a good pocket size camera that allows me to control the results, bring it around for most occasions and grow with it. The little money that I can afford to dole out to myself after the household needs doesn't give me much footing in my choice.

I have been living with an uneasy financial pinch for the past five years. So the new low price of GX-100 seems that I may be able to save up some for it.

There have been animated discussion on the web about the nuts and bolts of GX-100. Some go for it while some others won't. Fair enough.

Maybe I need no more light-shedding. Maybe really this is about money. Otherwise, I won't be contemplating a buy or not but have been using it regardless.

Since cameras have entered the digital era, people seem to have cared much less about the price. The price tag of GX-100 would have been that for a middle-range SLR body in the film era. Am I silly or are the rest?

My proven way of letting my material desire thin out is by fermenting it through a long process of reading comments about the desired stuff, window-shopping them every other day and considering the joy I could have with them on hand. Now that the process has kicked on, there is a glimpse of hope that I could lose my interest in buying the GX-100 in the end.

A sure-fire way to save up more money.
