Welcome to Day 11. We hope you enjoyed the lead-up to Christmas and are safely travelling or seeing friends and family soon.
The 11th day is 11 pipers piping. That sounds like a racket to me. But maybe I’m too much like this guy now.
It’s still possible to get delivery, believe it or not, if you have same-day delivery available from Amazon. Still, other than that, you are hitting up your big box store or Walmart and braving the lineups and mad rush in the last little while of shopping left. Good luck to you all.
For today and tomorrow, I will just talk about some of my favourite things of this year, Canon or otherwise.
Fujifilm X-M5
If you order this camera, you have a good excuse as to why it didn’t come for the big day on the 25th since it’s still heavily on backorder and has limited availability. It’s one of the most popular cameras right now in Japan, and I suspect it’s selling well just about everywhere else. A classic soap bar camera look with Fujifilm’s excellent film simulations.
At only $799, I hope Canon wakes up and delivers a similar camera next year to us.

Canon EOS R8 with RF 24-50mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM
My second pick today is this Canon full-frame kit. For me, this would be the perfect starting travelling kit. It has a small compact camera body, a good full-frame sensor and a very small kit lens with a decent wide angle.
When you compare this against an R10 with a kit lens, you’ll see that there isn’t much benefit going for an APS-C camera over the top of this kit.
I like this so much that when Craig and I were talking about what cameras we wanted this year, this was the one I decided on.
Right now, this is on sale for $400 off the regular price of $1699.00
