    The GAS confessional - all who suffer are welcome. :)

    I have never shot with a flash before, I usually shoot wildlife and Motorsport. So when these two pop up for equivalent combined total of about £75 with all accessories, manuals etc. I decided to get them. My local photography group has a speedlite workshop coming up which is great as I have...

    sd cards

    Even without camera damage I feel like this is good advice! I have a tin that is full of SD cards that I will never use again, why on earth am I keeping 2GB, 4GB or even 8GB cards, even 32GB get demoted to the audio recorder :LOL:

    Peak Design Slide?

    I love mine. Very easy to clip on and off, feels very secure with an R7 and a EF 70-200mm f2.8. very comfortable. Mine has been durable so far (no real wear to show) that's through a couple of years and lots of hiking. You get 4 anchors in the pack so you can equip 2 cameras easily. Super easy...

    Am I limiting my R7 with lens choices

    I'd never really felt like I'd needed to use denoise before, whether it wasn't as good in Lightroom previously or I adapted my photography to try and reduce noisy images anyway. I'd like to do the lens tryout from Canon as it looks like a great deal, but unfortunately I'm currently living in...

    Am I limiting my R7 with lens choices

    I appreciate all the responses so far! The R7 is 32mp on a crop sensor which gives it nearly doubled the pixel density of the R5. Probably validate the claim it needs the best glass in front of it to make the most of it! I also edit on a 27" 1440p monitor and and probably guilty of zooming in...

    Am I limiting my R7 with lens choices

    Hi all, About a year ago I swapped my aging 600d for an R7. I felt like the poor ISO performance on the 600d was starting to limit my photos and I fancied a jump up to mirrorless. I stuck with Canon because I have a 70-200mm 2.8L (original version, no IS) and a Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS. I...

    MPB - how accurate are their "instant valuations"

    I've always been honest with my evaluation for the quote, probably erring on the side of caution and mostly always got a bump in condition and higher offer. Never been disappointed.

    Beginner Canon EOS RP vs 5D Mk III

    I hadn't really considered the higher end crop sensor bodies. I've been having a look at the 80D which seems like it would do nicely. I have looked at swapping to other systems but I'm fairly happy with Canon. I think I may put this purchase on hold for the moment as I've just accepted a new...

    Beginner Canon EOS RP vs 5D Mk III

    a very generous offer sticktape unfortunately I'm based in London so a bit far away. I think my main aim to moving up to FF was for lower noise, better low ISO performance and a bit better dynamic range. Honestly I was also drawn by the increase in cheaper high end EF lenses due to people...

    Beginner Canon EOS RP vs 5D Mk III

    Hello! I think this is my first post here so hi everyone. (please feel free to move this to newbies if its more suitable) I think it has come time to upgrade my camera body, I'm currently using an old Canon 600D which I bought approximately 10 years ago and it's served me well. I've got to a...
