I have a small collection of RF lenses that is growing slowly, and so far, so good. I know what you mean about difficult shooting conditions @A_S, but I'm not seeing a big difference in resilience between the EF and RF lenses.

I could not get the latest canon firmware dmg file to work on my mac. Fortunately, it turns out the windows download is just a zip file so equally fine for mac.

I'm pretty bad at mental images, so I took an aphantasia test (https://aphantasia.com/vviq), and it turns out I'm just about at the threshold. Personally, I find it helpful to study composition; Michael Freeman's The Photographer's Eye, I remember, is pretty helpful. When it's not feasible to...

What matters the most is being the best tool for the job, which is always a balance of the features that you have listed. If the jobs are different, you end up with a selection to choose from. The camera that has stayed with me the longest is the Canon 350D, which was my first DSLR and has...

that's right it doesn't i have a small ovf that fits in the hotshoe

I know what you mean too, I much prefer using a camera. I agree a decent 1" sensor would be an improvement; I'm just not sure a decent can be had for GBP 300 at the moment. Maybe TZ100? Prices on compacts seem to have been rising recently. I've fallen in love with the Ricoh as the perfect...

Prompted by an earlier question, I was reminded that the whole topic of video settings can be quite confusing, so I thought I'd put this together to help photographers moving into video to understand why these settings exist and how to know what settings you need. If you already shoot video...

Hmm, depending on what phone you have, the image quality from a compact within your budget vs your phone might be a toss-up? Worth testing if you can before you shell out.

did someone say something? :ROFLMAO:
