I've been reading bad things about them since almost 30 years. https://www.bbb.org/us/ny/brooklyn/profile/electronic-equipment-dealers/abes-camera-and-electronics-0121-1050

By way of illustration - EXIF intact.

I would probably try Clear Nightscape myself. I've not tried these scene modes myself, but my daughter is in Finland and had great succes shooting the aurora with a scene mode on my Canon G1X.II. ...

The G5X.II is a very compelling camera, it just seems impossible to get one at the moment.

Check if a wifi SD card does what she wants.

Have you looked at the buying guides here on the site?

I entered three recent pics in the "Cold" challenge here: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/66650343 This one was a contender but didn't make the cut. What do you think? Across the Lake.

Frozen river. Midday light. View over the Lake.

For me, it's DxO PhotoLab. I have stored the presets that I fine-tuned (to my taste) so that for most of my pictures I don't need to do further editing apart from sometimes straightening the ...

Windows Photos says the file format is not supported. Paint says it cannot read the file as it's not a valid bitmap or an unsupported file. Paint3D says cannot open - something went wrong. Photosho ...

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried their software. It finds all files but cannot show a preview, saying the files may be corrupt.

Thanks. You suggested I'd try EaseUS, but as I wrote, I already did.

Thank you both. I appreciate and agree with what you've said. Nevertheless, as it's weekend, I'd like to see what I can achieve myself with a good software, if anybody's got some pointers. I plan ...

My Windows 10 desktop PC has an SSD system drive and a conventional HDD for data. I brought it into a shop to upgrade the SSD to a larger size and asked them to make an image of the old drive so ...
