    What makes you keep a camera long term?

    Its a slightly odd question. I make sure I buy the right camera in the first place for my needs at the time. Currently thats mostly sports photography. The 1DX Mk II I currently use most I bought in 2018. At some point it will get replaced, because its a working tool, and I'll probably...

    the eclipse

    I didn't take any photos, but used a rich tea biscuit as a pin hole camera (you have to hold the biscuit quite close to the paper to see, but it worked). I then ate it.

    Renting out your gear?

    I get angry with myself if I accidentally mark my equipment. I'd be livid if someone else did it.

    Photoshop Crop

    I would edit accordingly and then use the SAVE AS or SAVE A COPY function, and choose the file format I want. I'm not entirely certain what the difference is between that and the export function.

    Beginner Card reader or just download from camera.

    Card reader. The D70S has a USB 1.1 port which is up to 12 Mbps. Newer USB 3.0 and C ports are around 500 times faster.

    Beginner Aviation photography - entry level!

    It may be that your camera has settings which makes taking photos of a moving subject easier. Also with some cameras there is a slight lag between pressing the button and the picture being taken. Rather than assuming the camera is not capable, it may be a question of refining technique...

    Help, can transfer pictures to my cp

    Yes, you will need an editing program. Try Dark Table. Editing software may have come with the camera - but it will require some investment in time to understand. Look on youtube for lessons.

    Help, can transfer pictures to my cp

    CP = computer? Normally you can either use a card reader or the camera will serve as a card reader. You should be able to see the images on your card and copy them to your computer, either manually or using software to transfer. You may want to choose folder names - I use "yyyy-mm-dd...
