There's a saying that you buy the seller and not the item. The fact you have doubts already suggests this probably isn't the one for you

Many thanks appreciate the critique

A well photographed location. As there wasn't too much interesting light about I decided to try long exposure. I've also included a B&W version but still undecided which I prefer Southwold Pier by andrewnewton101, on Flickr Southwold Pier by andrewnewton101, on Flickr

Another happy Canon Pro 300 user here. I'm not a big b&w printer but do like the Canon software to print. It seems more intuitive than using LR

Hopefully I've used the correct forum. I currently have the CCS G3 for my Canon R7 and EF 100-400 ii and very pleased with it. I'd like to also carry my binoculars and whilst the the CCS side holster plus everything bracket will do this, it does seem a little on the pricey side £90 I'm looking...

Thanks for sharing this. It's saved me a journey

I'm using the R7 with the EF 100-400ii and have been very pleased with that combination. The lens is solidly built with the usual L series weather resistance and is sharp. The potential downside is it's relatively heavy if that's an issue

An interesting project and I hope you are soon feeling better. Have you seen Pep Ventosa's impressionist technique ? This YouTube video explains it View: https://youtu.be/uJBqBqYwh6I?si=amLfjqeoKvC8wbQ6

Unfortunately I think it's a case of we are all different and what works well for one person doesn't suit another. I will shortly be buying a new bed and fully appreciate your issue. I've decided to narrow it down to type e.g. coil, memory foam etc then try those in the shops to decide. I'm...

I think you are expecting too much from the camera as effectively you are asking it to think about how you want to photograph a subject. I'd imagine the algorithm leans towards giving a low iso without dropping the shutter speed too low. As you've stated 1/100 isn't fast enough for your needs...

Thanks for that. Just checking it wasn't me

Thanks for checking...not just me then

It's probably me but can anyone get the search facility to work on this website please https://innplaces.co.uk/ I've tried using Safari and Chrome on Android. I'm looking to search for West Sussex but each time I filter down it just reverts to a national list Many thanks

I think a lot depends on what you are shooting. I find it very useful for bird photography; I set the max aperture and desired shutter speed letting the iso float with auto iso. It allows you to quickly use the exposure compensation with one wheel adjustment for black / white birds
