    Reasons Why a Pro is Using a Mirrorless Camera for Personal and Paid Jobs

    They have support but it's dreadful by all accounts. Matt Granger very publically quit Sony because while their kit may up to scratch their support and professional services seem to not be. Check out the his news article...

    Red Dot Photo - safe?

    I've had a couple of issues trying to order from their website and just noticed they don't use https encryption when you enter your card details. Does anyone have any experience using their online shop? I tried and the whole thing failed but I don't know if my order was accepted or if my...

    Mirrorless vs DSLR -- Debunking The Mirrorless Hype

    I find the argument about how much easier it is to carry a mirrorless camera around in a bag vs a DSLR very disingenuous. You could be carrying a brick around in the bag, it doesn't matter. What matters is how it feels to shoot with and it's here the trend to go super small on the mirrorless...

    Is tripod allowed to be hand carried in the airplane?

    Depends on airline and destination, make sure you can pack it into your hold baggage at checkin. I've never been refused but only tried a couple of times. Budget airlines are usually MUCH more restrictive.

    Damn Heavy Lens

    I carry my Tamron 150-600mm. What's the point of having good quality photography gear and being too scared/lazy to use it outdoors? IMO too many people spend too much time typing on the internet about how bulky and heavy gear is and less time out taking photos. I'd rather get sweaty and...

    What is causing this ?

    Can you share the entire JPG and circle the area you are most concerned about in MS Paint? Only in that shared image I can see numerous issues, with chromatic aberration just being one.

    Which one should I take? Tripod or Monopod?

    I'd recommend saving for a very high quality carbon fibre tripod. Lightweight and portable, best of both worlds. Expensive, but you will buy once and it will last a lifetime.

    Tips for street photography in SG

    I've found being a large ang moh helps in not being confronted :) There are a few ways to make people hesitate about confronting you, one is to shoot them but pretend you are shooting THROUGH them, at a subject beyond. If they spot you and maybe look as though they are going to come over...

    How to get screenshots of camera menu (on LCD)?

    Unfortunately there's no way of doing this without another camera. Either suck up the lower quality and use your phone (why does it need to be perfect quality?) or use a camera with a macro lens on a tripod to get it sharp. Why the need for such high quality of an LCD screen?

    Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art, Canon mount

    Can anyone suggest a reliable, reputable seller for this lens - and do people know how much it's currently selling for? I'm unused to buying camera gear in person/from stores. Typically I always do it online but that doesn't seem to be an option in SG :/

    is this a light leak problem?

    Looks like lens flare to me, turned into a hotspot because of the long exposure. Pointing into the sun will often do that to a greater or lesser extent, depending on your lens.

    Deleted thread?

    Thanks for the reply - it seems my review was approved (because it appeared on the main site and a friend confirmed this) only for it to disappear later. Maybe one mod approved it and another deleted it? It seems like this rule is why my post would have been deleted. 15. Starting Threads to...

    Polite bump hoping someone can look into this please? I'm wondering if there was a posting error on my initial review thread or something so there's been no admin response yet :)
