Totality with the R6 Mk2
1 week ago
7
I was fortunate to find a patch of clear sky in between the clouds. I have seen the photos and the videos but it is not comparable to seeing this phenomenon in person. Warm sunlight washed over your face as you look up. Suddenly the landscape around you darkens like nighfall. You have seen the sun and the moon a thousand times but not like this. The oohs and the awes are well deserved and you know why.
Photographed south of Ottawa in the path of totality along the St-Lawrence River. Did a lot of driving past many stretches of clouds. Turning back and heading west suddenly the sun shown on my car and that's when I exited the highway to a rest area where many others had gathered for the same purpose.
I almost missed totality by fiddlingg with the Nikon P900 auto-focus. Chucked it and grabbed my R6 MK2 and Canon 100-400L IS lens (v.1). A lens I have had for 20 years now. Added a 1.4x and Totality was amazing to see in person.

The Panasonic Lumix S5II launched the second generation of Panasonic’s full-frame mirrorless camera system and was the first Panasonic to feature phase detect autofocus. As our review reveals, it’s a heck of an all-around camera for both still and video shooters.
The latest Lumix puts a Four Thirds sensor in a full-frame body with boosted AF and a wealth of stills and video capabilities to create a Swiss Army Knife of a Micro Four Thirds camera.
The fourth camera in Leica's SL series of full-frame mirrorless cameras sees the 60MP BSI sensor from the Q3 and M11 models arrive with a significant interface redesign.
The Fujifilm X100VI is the sixth iteration of Fujifilm's classically-styled large sensor compact. A 40MP X-Trans sensor, in-body stabilization and 6.2K video are among the updates.
The Nikon Zf is a 24MP full-frame mirrorless camera with classic looks that brings significant improvements to Nikon's mid-price cameras. We just shot a sample reel to get a better feel for its video features and have added our impressions to the review.

'What's the best mirrorless camera?' We're glad you asked.
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.
