Interpol

I second this suggestion.  On a recent trip to Paris and London I brought my 24-105L and 16/2.8 and left my 24-70L at home.  The 24-105 was my most frequently used lens.

Yes, you absolutely must be a professional.  Before I bought my R3 I had to show my CPS Platinum card and submit a portfolio of all my paid photographic work that was reviewed by a panel of 9 ...

IMO you are way overreacting. First of all, the chances of ruining/killing a GoPro simply by dunking in water and exposing it to sand and other things on the beach is highly unlikely. Second, in ...

DC Rainmaker posted a good video on Hero 10 overheating issues last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DypcZJtUNDA Bottom line is, unless the camera is moving or submerged, you WILL have ...

I'm not sure if paying >$100 for a decent external digital recorder is worth the cost and hassle, especially if you're open to tossing the unit if it gets mucked up. Since you asked about GoPro ...

Which focal length did you use?  Wide, superwide? Did you shoot in full sensor mode (8:7 aspect ratio) and mask the image down to 2.35:1?

As long as you have an Internet connection you should be fine.

The underwater housing is only going to exacerbate overheating issues.  You're basically putting the camera in a watertight/airtight box and letting it sit in the sun with no ability for air or ...

Now you have to worry about a few more things: syncing external audio to your video (which will require some sort of editing software such as Premiere, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, etc.), and ...

Exactly right.  Not protecting your IP now makes it much harder to protect it later.

I don’t understand why you choose to belabor this point. If I, as a third party, want to create an app for the iPhone, the ONLY way I can distribute it and the only way users can install it is ...

Correct. And Canon does not appear to want to do that at this time. It would be nicer for consumers if Canon did a lot of things, but Canon needs to balance the wants of its customers with what ...

Agreed. And the only way one can install apps in the iOS ecosystem is via Apple’s own App Store. No side loading or third party app stores allowed. Additionally, Apple gets to vet and ...

You are obfuscating the issue.  We are not talking about firmware.  We are talking about the RF system, which is a standard defined by Canon that not only describes the physical mount, but also ...

Tell me, what other manufacturers make computers and mobile phones running MacOS and iOS, and which software developers can develop apps for iOS without going through the Apple App Store? Sounds ...

How about Apple’s entire lineup of Mac computers and iOS/iPadOS mobile devices?  Completely closed ecosystem and they’re doing just fine.

Yup. I'm certainly not privy to the details of RF signal communications protocol, but I'm pretty sure it's a generation ahead of ~40 year old EF technology. It would be very easy for Canon bodies ...

There are just as many closed systems that are doing well too.

That is certainly a possibility, but the opposite is also just as much of a possibility.  Since we are talking about the RF electronic communication protocol and not the physical mount itself, I ...

So why would this not also apply to third party RF lenses?
