I needed a new camera quickly because my newish Olympus camera seized up. I was due to go away abroad and I needed a mirrorless camera.
I bought it on Tuesday, the camera was with me 2 days later. That gave me 3 days spare before I left the country. I could have gone into a store, but with congestion charges in Oxford, and the Iranian problem, it was better to get the camera online.
