A larger sensor has an advantage in terms of light collected. And no, modern technology, AI editing, etc, has not mitigated that (or rather, it has improved for all). But it's also probably just as easy/cost effective to get a better/faster lens for the camera you already have. So if you are...

Makes sense since sand dunes and the sun have a lot of yellow/warm tones that won't be affected by the filter.

Yes; I did assume full spectrum daylight/landscape photography...

The blue component of light, which the yellow filter absorbs, is also a component of the light falling elsewhere else. I.e. it reduces the light everywhere, but it is most apparent where the other components of light are already absorbed (blue parts of the scene).

AFAIK, the only current solution for syncing strobes with the R50 is to get the Canon AD-E1 to convert the multifunctional shoe into a traditional shoe. Or, I suppose you could get the EL-5 speedlight and sync them optically if you also have need for an on-camera flash.

I think there is more at play here... Canon and Nikon have gone all-in on full size mirrorless cameras with a new lens mount. That makes purchasing a new full frame body VERY expensive if you want to get the most out of it. And there are not many significant improvements in technology/capability...

And he's not the one who wrote the article; Jaron Schneider did... he's also better qualified than most.

The camera has to be set to a self timer mode for the remote to work; if it is in the single shot or continuous modes it won't work. I think you would be better off getting an HDMI monitor; using you phone would require using aHDMI to USB capture card and a third party app.

If you are talking about using a speedlight in a front firing softbox, then it is absolutely beneficial. In a rear firing softbox it is much less so.

Use more shutter speed than you might think you need. And look for clean backgrounds; mirror reflex lenses have some funky bokeh characteristics.

I recently switched to using an Ifootage RB-A400. I have a Leofoto HC-28 tilting column on it because I do a lot of semi-overhead type shots. And a 15 lb olympic bumper weight on it to help stabilize it on my padded/carpeted floor (no other counter weight needed). It's not as stable as a pillar...

Lightroom scales with the resolution setting, but not in the same way other programs do (e.g. chrome/preview/etc). No matter what the scale, the image size is half the physical size (1/4 area) in LR as compared to other programs (Mac M1 Pro with Retina display). AFAIK, there is no way of...

It's rather a difference in perspective/use. A monitor of the same size running at a higher resolution will display an image smaller for any given display size (pixel dimensions) or zoom ratio. And smaller hides details. I.e. Adobe products use my monitor's native resolution and not the...

Hejnar 5" plate with dual QD. Other sizes and some lens specific options also available, like Z180-600 plate. Kirk 4.5" plate with QD... other sizes also available.

Lots of them available; but the only ones I know of that make longer ones with QD socket are Hejnar Photo, and Kirk Enterprises... both are USA based.
