I've had two non-WR cameras fail but the lenses kept working... on a different camera. As for hype, I've used two cameras in similar conditions and the non-WR lasted about 1.5 years while the ...

I use an Arkel small bar bag with a thin fleece for padding. Ortleib makes popular waterproof bar bags and a padded insert. I've also used an Olympus E-PM2 with just the neck strap passed through ...

I use a gorilla pod, trailpix (with poles) or a Feisol tripod when I'm sure I'll be needing a full size tripod.

I've had a Manfrotto 190 and 055 some 20 years ago and both lasted less than a year. My light carbon tripod does a better job and lasted longer.

"They told me to always use a lens hood!"

Yes. I bought two identical hard drives from B&H and one didn't have the plastic film on it and came with a generic power supply. I called them and they offered to pay for return or a discount, ...

Entry-level models could be android cameras IMO. Something like the Panny CM10 but with a m43 mount, a flippy screen, removable battery and few more controls. Just USB power/charging and full ...

... "although I do pay attention." Learn to quote.

I use Olympus cameras and detergent because that's what the Gods use: https://youtu.be/bAkZ1SKQJO0?t=57m40s

Same bird, same perch, different perspective and focal length (45mm and 150mm).

Two shots taken 20 minutes apart. One at 185mm and the other at 300mm on APS (sorry). I took the first one while making a large circle around the dear so I could get the back light.

If I was forced to use one lens, I'd use whatever is in my phone.

matthew, I hike with a pack full of photo gear, 2L of water plus food and extra clothing, etc. I don't know how much it weighs. I like to run down the trail with a knife between my teeth and...

I'm 44, not fit and hike all day, and find waist belts useless on a 20L pack.

That monkey has such a troll face.

Bring back the tilt screen, add USB charging and power, Bluetooth. How about a built-in flash so it doesn't stay in a box at home? New models are not just made for people to upgrade. A new customer ...

I use the manual mode almost exclusively because I find it easier.

No, manufacturer's chargers suck (no interchangeable plates, USB option or double slots) I'd rather not have them since I don't use them. Same for manuals. I never read them so it's just extra ...

Thanks to USB charging, no more waiting all day in a campground to charge a dozen batteries for the next week. No more big cables, no big chargers, no need to change them every few hours, no ...
