Oh wow that is a pretty extreme correction I don't even want to imagine, mine is just mild, I can find a needle in a hay stack but I can't read a road sign!! haha I only wear my glasses when I'm in the classroom or taking public transit, stuff where I actually need to see lol, 1.25 & 1.50 (I don't know the - or + , just the #)
Don't worry, you will find a job soon, don't loose hope!! A mirror-less is a good goal to look forward to. I'm interested in seeing this tech develop over the coming years. I didn't know Fuji had a model, canons are good cameras that last forever too. I want to get a Nikon mirror-less when I can afford it, they only have one lens at the moment tho, so I'm not in a rush either but my camera is losing pieces when I'm using it lol it's so old so it might just be that time. Good luck and have fun finding your future camera!
It is fascinating to see how the technology is changing photography lately. Canon is supposedly bringing back their innovative eyeball-guided autofocus that they developed in the 90's, and improving it. They had a film camera that could detect where you were looking and focus that spot. They just patented a mirrorless version.
The Fujifilm X series looks really nice, but it's APS-C and I would like to move to full frame for better low-light performance. A lot of travel photographers have gone with Fuji for the size and weight.
Nikon's are nice but, like you say, way behind in the lens department
Ha! I tried walking to town without contacts or glasses, once. I should have brought a white came! It's nice you have the option, even if your distance vision is a bit blurry.
Maybe they'll invent cyborg eyes, someday...
