Yawn.

You might try posting this in the Printers and Printing Forum as well as here.

Sounds like you bought an Open Box.  Not necessarily a return, maybe the store allowed someone to demo it in the store. I bought an open box camera. The sensor was dirty & wouldn't clean up.  Sent ...

How much is a new battery?  How much is your Go-Pro worth? It's like the stock market - risks vs rewards.

And make sure you have a good battery as well.

In our home if we haven't used something for a year it gets sold or donated.  There are a few exceptions, of course. Old photo equipment is subject to the rule, notwithstanding a small box of misc ...

That makes all the difference to me as well. I think it's great that some can use the images from their phones simply because it's an item we all have with us all the time. Convenience has value.  ...

Is there something wrong with it (is it defective)?

As you can see by the replies..... No.   Do your thing for your reasons.

Good points there. 1. Viewing screen matters.  Critique the images on the size/quality screen that the end user will use. 2. If you believe you haven't perfected what you can do with your camera ...

Thanks!  I appreciate your kind words.  We can keep the celebration part simple - I'll grab a cold one out of the fridge later and I'll know it's from you - a telepathic thing.  Enjoy!

There's been a lot of trimming to this thread.  The reasons for the ships being held up aren't something we can discuss. So - I'll just say - Oh my,  Isn't that something!

That one started 80 or 100 years ago.  You think this is something new?

What's getting on the front element of your lens that you want protection from? I keep a lens cap on every lens I own, I take it off to shoot then put it back on. That's better protection than a ...

Good story!   Remember .... It's always about perspective.  I think the person who hired you got lucky.   :-)

Great image there.  It's a fact that a just a little luck can be worth more than a whole lot of talent.  :-)

That - people throwing their cameras in the air - does that happen often?  I quit YouTube when they started censoring political opponents.  But I do believe I'd quit watching photographers' videos ...

Maybe I'm too late to help. I sent back a Canon for the crappy lens. My Sony beats it hands down. (This from a guy who never cared for Sony.) I bought the grip and quickly took it off. I have a ...
