My photo adventures have slowed down a lot in the past couple of years, with the pandemic plus some skin cancer problems.  I'll also be 91 in less than a month.  I've received my second vaccination, and my skin grafts are healing, so I hope to get out more when the weather warms up. My philosophy is sort of like Ken's, staying behind the cutting edge in new gear, frequently buying used.  The newest body I have is an Oly E-M1, because the price was right, and I could adapt my older lenses. I use a combination of  Fuji and Oly bodies and swap lenses among them as the mood strikes me.

As to ISO capability, I try to keep the E-1 to 400 and below.  The newer cameras seem much more happy to go to higher settings.

I spend a lot of time shooting butterflies and other insects in warm weather.  It's about time to trim back the Buddleia bush.

That's a beautiful landscape, Joel.  I can understand why you would like
to enhance the resolution.  I have not had the opportunity to explore
such exotic sites.

Thanks for looking.  It's a trophy shot, I suppose, but I had to wait
around all day for the clouds to break for about 10 minutes towards the end
of day.

Many of my favorite images are family shots, and I have enjoyed using my
used E-1 with a number of lenses, both manual and automatic.  This one
is typical of my favorites.

That's lovely.  I saw that recently.

While I have more modern cameras, I still pick up the E-1 from time to
time because I love the images it produces.

I use Topaz DeNoise frequently, but have not ventured in to upsizing.

This will surprise you (!) but we used to have vigorous discussions about
the E-1 and whether it was worth a darn.  Ken eloquently made the case that
E-1 pixels were special (Pixel Dust), and Moose was having none of it.
Those were fun times.  The camera was always fun to use.  I'm in an
analogous place now running the E-5 into its afterlife.

What do you like about Topaz DeNoise?  Do you especially like it on E-1
shots?  I found ISO 800 was about the tolerable limit on the E-1 because of
noise but do have a few shots at 1600 that cleaned up reasonably well.
