Thanks.  Yes, I realised that the R6 is so good (and offers so many advantages being mirrorless) that even if I modify the 6Dii I still probably won't use it as much.  As such it is better ...

I live in remote wilderness in Africa, my Panasonic G9 gets dust constantly. Sensor cleaning is a routine task. I got an R6 in March and haven't cleaned it once. But yeah, I am dreading the day I...

Even on their higher end cameras they cheap out on rear screens.

Well I don't jump an entire ecosystem and years of familiarity just for one body update, but this makes me fairly happy that I elected to stick with Canon and get an R6 (although in the dog days of...

You are correct. When you look at cinema camera prices for say an FX6 and then this it is pretty impressive.

Thanks for replying. I have decided to not go for the modification.  I have decided that my R6 is doing so well that there is little point and I would rather have the 6Dii for back up or as a ...

Stunning.

I have tried SKeye app on my phone and with my phone in a clamp on the hotshoe. This app was designed for this purpose. It was partially successful but let's just say I am still working on getting ...

Wonderful images and experience.  I have only ever seen the Northern lights once and woudl love to do so again.

Opinions and advice welcomed. I have a 6DMkii which is basically a back up camera Since getting an R6. I would still need it to potentially perform as a regular camera. I really cannot sort out ...

Hi Leo, I am sorry to report that I couldn't act on your advice.  I was stuck in town and was a day late getting back to the bush so I couldn't attempt it.  I really appreciate your efforts and ...

So my dark Zambian skies means things get to me slowly....  But when we get to Lusaka (6 hours drive) the courier depot is fun! We only get to town a handful of times a year. This trip I got an ...

very nice.  Rho is a beautiful target.

I am with mermaidkiller.  In March of this year I bought an R6 and have been rather impressed with it.  For general photography I did a massive user review here: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thr ...

Talk about a mountain out of a mole hill. It's a viewfinder. If you are a third of a stop or so out so what. Isn't that why we have been bleating on about DR for the last few years?

You are so right!

I don't mind the billionaire spaceship rental story. But I do mind "an inspiration 4 commander". I mean it's not that hard to figure out there was one commander. As for the iphone, whatever.... If...

Thanks for this Leo. The radiant is going to just have dipped below my horizon unless I am mistaken. I have dark skies and it will most likely be clear at that time. I have a rock close by with a ...

One bokeh beast was never a reason for me to shoot canon anyway, so I am cool with my choices.

It's a good idea and I can't see why not. But if it was me I would just use a laptop. I am contemplating a cheap "beater" small one so I can run ipolar, astrophotography tool and other stuff. At ...
