I rarely do video, and I don't want to learn to be great. What I want is to use my R6 to get OK videos of my kids performing on stage with no post processing (or very limited tweaks to color temp ...

Hmmm, getting audio from the mixing board might be more complicated than I thought. Regarding mic placement, I don't think I'll have the option to place a mic and recording device on stage. I think ...

My daughters are involved in dance and show choir. Mostly I enjoy photography (stills) but since i have multiple opportunities to see performances, I'd like to get a video recording at least once ...

Yes, control is good. As a hobbyist it was really incredible to just have the EyeAF stuff and let the camera do most of the work. As I gain experience, I am starting to think less about basic ...

Thanks! This is super helpful.

I upgraded from a 6D to the R6 in early '21. The AF was mind blowing coming from the 6D. I quickly learned how to use EyeAF but then stopped learning because it seemed incredible given my ...

I can appreciate how useful this would be if I was attending to shoot something all day long. In my current use case, I'm a parent with good gear looking for a simple bag that will protect my gear ...

This would be a responsible option for me to consider as I could also use it for birding. The drawback is that it is much larger than it has to be for my 70-200 and I started this thread looking ...

Shimoda looks like they make high quality bags. The ones I saw all looked much larger than what I want. I'll keep them on my radar for when I am looking for a take-it-all bag.

Thanks for finding this, I'll consider it. I think I am leaning towards a shoulder bag, but being a backpack sling has some advantages. In any case, I appreciate the recommendation.

Which bag do you have? I like the look. I found this Think Tank option, though I think the camera is actually pushing the limits of it, but the look is acceptable to me (but not as nice as yours). ...

As the title indicates, this is a gear question but very specific to the R6 and the 70-200 f/2.8. I will be taking phots at my kids indoor events. I'd like a very compact solution and I don't ...

Thank you for the detailed answer!

I am mostly a hobbyist and have no intention to leave my engineering career. However, I've started asking businesses for permission to be on site to do astrophotography.  The deal I offer is to ...

I used Edit>Transform>Scale and matched the width of the foreground to the sky. If anyone has a better way, please let me know.

I spent 3 hours in a vineyard. One of the images I am working on from that session was intended to blend a pano of the tracked sky at 30 mm with a singe frame of the ground at 15 mm. I would like ...

I find that aspect ratio is super important for laptops and small monitors. I just got a 27" 1440p and was worried about going back to 16:9, but at that size, res and sitting distance, it's...

I really love the 3000x2000 screen on the HP Spectre x360 14. I wonder if they offer that as an upgrade for this? I've found that I rarely take advantage of the 2-in-1 form factor, we'll see how I...
