Re: You kids with your new toys (Keeping my RP) ...
I'm seriously thinking about picking up an RP to replace my 5DIII which is just too heavy to lug around all day. The 5DIII is great for night photography on a tripod but with the 300 f4L IS + 2X converter it comes in at 2500 gm. 3 years ago I picked up an Olympus EM10II with the 75-300 Zoom that give the same final apparent field of view as my Canon rig but at only 850 gm. I saved enough money from skipping my chiropractor appointments to pay for the Oly equipment.
But with an RP and the new 600mm f11, I can go full frame again with a system that weighs only 1400 gm. That is still doable for all day work and the price is still reasonable. I'm waiting to see how well the 600 and 800 mm f11 perform before pulling the trigger. I'm also tired of buying disappointing glass.

Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
