    mauimike got a reaction from frankinfuji in Introduce Yourself   
    Hello.  As you might guess, I live on Maui and my name is Mike.  Been using a Canon system since the 30D about 10 years ago; still have a 5D3 with the 24-70L II, 70-200L f4 IS, and 100 2.8L macro.  However, since exiting the wedding business as a weekend warrior, my photography and video is more about travel and hiking with my wife, and family vacations and gatherings.  I've sold my other Canon gear rather than having it just sit around.
     
    So, here we are on this site, which truthfully I didn't expect as I was literally a click away from ordering a milc by a different brand.  It stayed in the cart for a few weeks, when by chance I happened upon an X-T2 YouTube clip on one of the photography channels I follow.  After that first X-T2 clip finished, as some of you know, YouTube will list similar clips.  The more I watched, the more I became interested.
     
    To cut to the chase, I rely heavily on websites like this for purchasing decisions, as the handful of stores here with cameras only stock consumer level gear (and even that is slowly disappearing).  I've purchased all my Canon gear unseen, so it's nothing new to me, especially since the online stores I purchase from all have full refund return policies.
     
    I appreciate what I've seen on this website and will continue to peruse the various forums here, especially the X-T2 and the lenses.  I'll also look for something for my wife, as she is interested in moving up from her smartphone when we're hiking.  Lastly, I'm undecided on what to do with my remaining Canon gear.  Certainly selling will help with funding, but we'll see as I do have requests once in awhile for outdoor portraits.
     
    thank you.
