Another visit to Michael's Camera House in Melbourne

Today was a public holiday in Bendigo. It is Bendigo Cup day. Apparently everybody is supposed to take the day off and go to the horse races. Instead of attending the races, (which I never do), I chose to travel down to Melbourne to attend a presentation at Michael's Camera House In Melbourne.


The presentation was about some new cameras from Fujifilm. It was presented by Warwick Williams who is a professional photographer and I also take it that he is a salesman for Fujifilm.

He presented a variety of cameras that I had not seen before, most notably the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and the X-A7.


The X-Pro3 is a professional level camera and the X-A7 is more for travel bloggers. If I get to travel any time soon. i think that I might look at obtaining the X-A7 as my vlogging camera. It looks like it is easy to use as well as being pretty useful.

I have to say that I really enjoyed the presentation and that it was well worth the trip down and back. Well done to Michael's Camera House and to Fujifilm.

Shot expo 2019

Today, i attended the Shot Expo show that was held at The Melbourne Showgrounds. This is a show where people in involved in the firearms and hunting industry show off their wears. This included rifles, knives, optics, camping and cooking gear etc. It was interesting as there were a lot of different exhibitors there. For me, the highlight was an Australian rifle company named Warwick firearms. They have some cool new rifles on display. It was well worth a visit.
