  • Created discussion thread R7+100-500+1.4xTC
    How long is it to fit in camera bag?
  • According to TDP there is - Shooting Menu, Tab 9: Shooting info. disp.: Screen info. settings: Enable 1, 2, 3, and 4; edit screen 2 to show only: Basic shooting info and Electronic level; edit ...
  • I thought it was nice to see that some of the people there have an interest in photography. Might help keep the doors open a bit longer.
  • Created discussion thread What the new owners shoot
    Article at Gear Patrol on what their people have for cameras - https://www.gearpatrol.com/tech/a44348625/gear-patrol-favorite-cameras/
  • Nope, I'm a zoom guy. What I'm saving up for is a '67 Mustang. But that's wishing thinking too. :)
  • During hunting season I stay in the national park. Only shooting allowed there is by camera. But I did spend 50 years wearing the orange. I'm at 896 mm eq. now with the R7. If I could get that out ...
  • I mostly shoot 4 legged game. Stuff that has a hunting season each year gets extremely camera shy. Makes for a lot of long distance shots. When I was shooting M43 my G9 had 4x digital TC. On slow ...
  • Already shooting with the 1.4. On the R7 that gives me 224-896, and I'm still cropping. Can never have too much money, or too much reach. :)
  • Compare the RF 100-400's weight and price to the 100-400s of the other brands. Does anything else come close? Canon magic. Just what I asked for.
  • I have R7 with 100/400 and 1.4x TC. I want MORE! :)
  • Replied in Canon R7 issue
    Give Canon a call and raise hell with them. That's something they could fix with a firmware update.
  • I can live with that. At my age I'm a fair weather shooter.
  • The EF 100-400 weighs 1570 g. The RF 100-400 weighs 635 g., costs less, and has full TC use. I want that same type of magic in a RF 150-600. Under 1000 g., under $1000, and full TC use. If a man is ...
  • I picked the R7 for the IBIS and extra pixels. I shoot wildlife, and many subjects are a long ways off, and need lots of crop. It doesn't sound like you have that issue, so the R10 should work fine ...
  • Sigma used a legal loophole to make faux EF lenses and took a bunch of profit from Canon. Those handcuffs might be lined with thorns. :)
  • Replied in Case In Point!
    Canon will open to 3rd party just as soon as there are this many Rf lens - :)
  • of OMDS, you may want to look at what JIP has done with Vaio. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=vaio+laptop+review I can't picture bankers spending a lot of money on something to ...

  • Family holiday = family time, which is more important than taking pictures. Cell phone and bridge camera is more than enough. My kids are grown, my wife is gone, I have all the time in the world to ...
  • Replied in Oops!
    no game action is recorded, as required by MLB. I didn't see any action, did you see any action?  :)
