Wow I didn't think this would be such a discussion! Thanks to everyone. I certainly expected that I was missing something with my logic but wasn't expecting this level of debate.

Cheers

Just wanted to check my understanding/maths add up here as I was quite astounded. Tried explaining to someone the difference between indoor and outdoor photography in terms of light. F stop from 3.2 to 5.0 is approx 1 full stop, so half the light. Shutter from 640 to 1000 is double for easy...

Willing to go higher? Herman Miller would get my vote.

I've got the control ring one and it's utility definitely depends on what body you have it on. If you're limited on controls, that extra "dial" is a boon. Put it on something like an R6 Mk2 though (my daily driver) where you already have 3 dials built in, you'll find it's only useful on the...

12800 for me. I mostly photograph dogs racing, and unless you manage to fill the frame with a shot then even denoise programs struggle to clean up fur adequately.

Cloud is the easiest, don't know if we could help with your reason for not wanting that? USB cable is next easiest as mentioned.

I agree, 5.6 I'd need a very well lit venue for, thankfully the larger ones usually are. Many I'm down at f3.2.

Some flyball events I'll be aiming for max 2metre FOV at 100ft which puts me at 400-500.

Clearly I can't see your screen, but are you sure they're not updates for various bits of subsystems software rather than W7? As a precaution I'd be making sure that machine has no access to any shared drives on your network.

Sorry to say it @Cobra but W7 is out of security updates and has been for some time, your system is at risk. On the topic of your speicifc issue it could be your need an application specific password if that has become enabled you'll be able to generate one through the Web interface of your...

Do you have a NAS at home?

haha the 300 would be nice but not enough of a gain over the 200 to justify another lens for me really. My worry with the prime is that I can't be sure of being able to control my distance to the subject, so zoom is crucial for me really. Looks like that brings your list to the same two I was...

Ok, my typical setup at present is an R6 Mk2 coupled with an EF 70-200 f2.8 Mk2 L which I use primarily for flyball competitions both indoor and outdoor. There are times however when I need something with a bit more reach, and I'm debating what that should be... The three main options I have...

It's down, downdetector confirms.
