Goodbye Canon 700D?

Yesterday I undertook what may turn out to be the last little outing for my trusty and beloved Canon 700D. The camera which got me into this whole 'DSLR video' thing!

It'll probably be a week or two before my new Fujifilm X-T2 arrives, but we have a lot of 'real life' activities going on which may preclude any more trips out of photographic/video experiments...

Over the next few weeks, builders will be remodelling our
house...I have been designated chief tea-maker!

So, the wife and I travelled out to a Yorkshire stately home to do the whole tourist thing. I took the 700D in its secondary guise of family camera to get some snaps for the wife. Here are a few of the  pictures (flash was not permitted and they were all hand-held, of course)...

No video I'm afraid - so the last video will probably be those projects I did before I left my last job. So, that's that really. The 700D will be demoted to my 'back-up' camera, plus - being Canon - it will still allow me access to cheaper specialist lenses, should I need them.

I'll be doing a video comparison of the 700D and the new Fujifilm X-T2 (when I get it) outlining the differences, advantages and why I have chosen to make the large investment in this camera upgrade. I look forward to doing that. But it is quite sad, the Canon 700D is a wonderful entry-level DSLR and has served me well as a learning tool and family camera.
