Went out side for the morning cigar and saw two huge Fisher Cats
squaring off at the tree line - very unusual - probably males as they
were easily in the 12/15 pound range.
Ran inside to get my new E-3 - dropped it off the deck right onto the
concrete patio.
Words I didn't even know I knew rang out over the land.
Even worse - I left it lying there and ran back inside to get the
movie camera.
Battery dead.
It's not going to be a good day. |

Damn, I wonder if you could leave it in your car and have someone steal
it. You might become Olympus's number one customer if you keep this up.
I think you need to start using a camera strap. I think your hands
aren't working as good as they used to.  |

That's one of the reasons I own a cheesy $150 Canon. It'll do 70-80% of what
a hibux camera will do at 5-10% of the heartache if I lose it. >> Stay informed about: Cursing a blue streak... |

Would this be a good time to recommend using the neck or wrist strap as soon
as you pick the camera up? >> Stay informed about: Cursing a blue streak... |

Did it land on the lens, or the body? >> Stay informed about: Cursing a blue streak... |

I learned that lesson around 1969 when my Pentax Spotmatic took a one way
trip to the bottom of Peconic Bay. Now, no camera touches my hand unless the
strap's at least wrapped around my wrist. >> Stay informed about: Cursing a blue streak... |

I use "the grip of death," too, even with a good-quality neck strap. I
always have one paw tightly wrapped around the strap.
Did I tell you that the guy who bought that Beretta was a college
classmate *and* dorm-mate of mine who I haven't seen in 40+ years?

At least if it busted in the drop, you wouldn't lose much. >> Stay informed about: Cursing a blue streak... |

Sorry to hear about the E-3.
Now you've got a good excuse to upgrade to a Nikon D40.

Actually his Olympus is closer to the D200, just not as good. >> Stay informed about: Cursing a blue streak... |
