<p>I am not sure if this is the right spot to ask this question but I am interested in subscribing to a Photo magazine but I am looking more artistic side rather than commercial side. Any suggestions?<br> Cheers<br />Alfredo Perez</p>

<p>Well I bought a Fuji GW690III to start, I think this camera will be a good jump start and I will definitely look into a SLR down the road...Guys thanks so much for such great comments and advise I learn a lot before even taking my first shot. Cheers</p>

<p>@xenophon...any chance to post the photo of the RZ and the strap...I am making a decision shortly...cheers</p>

<p>@Flavio...what strapped do you use? specific brand? for my DSLR-Shoulder-Tripod quick release I use one that I love ...made by PeakDesign but I dont think this will work for this types of camera...insert an image if you can...cheers and thanks</p>

@jim and @xenophon thanks so much...i will continue the search great info...cheers

<p>Thanks Flavio...thats about 5 pounds...I like the camera very much I will start watching on ebay all options...Cheers</p>

Flavio Is the rb67 around 5 pounds?...still concern about the weight...what do u think about bronica gs-1?

Flavio sorry I mixed the rb67 with mamiya 6...rb67 is 6x7...sorry for my confusion...cheers

@Flavio...oppps sorry I mixed the rb 67 with mamiya 6 sorry rb 67 is 6x7 cheers

@Flavio...thanks so much Iam really interested on those waist level machines. Question how small is the rb67 compare to rz67? My concern besides weight is the 6x6 format I dont see the world square...other question ...can u install a digital back and adapter down the road?...thanks so much

<p>@Jim T...thanks so much for your comprehensive analysis and suggestions, definitely more to think but great !...cheers</p>

Roman I checked the fuji GF670 and thinks thats the way to go...my budget is tight but I think o can afford it. Now those waist slr are interesting for me to explore they look cool and fun to learn maybe I will get a mamiya system later. I have a question though ...those anyone have experience with waist slr like rz67 using a digital and back adapter? Does it worth investing on an rz system waiting for digital back to drop in price in the future? Also considering rz prices are affordable now...thanks all...cheera

Thanks all...I am narrowing my search and I must say I understand all the implications and limitations. My intention is to enter and learn medium format and for sure I will be shooting with my 35mm...as initial step I would like to take with me to my business travels so I can experiment so David you are right weight is a consideration. ..cheers

Thanks...well the classical concert aspect may have created a confusion, I dont shot w film during performances, I use my dslr. What I do is take portraits of musician steady or staged for the photo The mamiya 7 is prob a little eexpnsive at this moment however I think this is tge camera that fits my needs. Question how big are the mamiya rb-rz 67 compare to a bronica gs- 1? Cheers

<p>Guys I am new to the forum but I have read tons of post in photo.net in other forum....first let me thanks for your kindness in taking time to respond with such insightful knowledge. I have to clarify something, I shoot Classical Music Concerts for several organizations with my DSLR (due to the noise and practicality), however I take artistic shots during rehearsal and practice room with my film, so noise is not an issue in his dimension...the constraint is low light some times. My main concern is that due to my limit budget now, I can afford only one camera for all my purposes and the size of the waist level is a concern and the RZ-67 seems huge! ...Cheers </p>
