Be aware you want USB3 with blue plastic inside (and use usb3 port) TBH for photos its not that important but if you do any video in 4k if not usb3 downloading will take MUCH longer.

They are in all the shots but needs to be fairly bright sky top right. Thing is my very similar 300D was left forgotten for a few years in less than ideal conditions and typical fungus threads like that crept in under the sensor glass cover - so could not be cleaned off. Pretty sure its the same...

Unfortunately not as its in all with sky visible.

Oldish guy I know rediscovered his Canon 450D recently and has been out and about taking photos - overall the results are good if you don't look too closely. I had a 300D as my first more serious digital and at the time it seemed great. He sent me some photos and I see fungus threads creeping in...

It's basically like wifi calling on a mobile - which is all we have as there's no actual mobile signal. Using (my) mobile like that is far cheaper than landline anyway so never use it except occasional incoming.

Another inexpensive way to make it a bit easier might be a top handle you can use the hot shoe provided you are being gentle or look at a cage with proper mounting on top. Such as the DJI 3 mini gimbal is not expensive and would carry that camera but they still don't remove all the bobbing...

Early days yet, it seems to be aviation fuel not typical 'oil' which will very readily disperse and it's unclear how much has leaked at this stage. A very stupid thing to have happened. Since it seems to be a US ship I'm wondering if it wasn't actually an accident.

Not sure what's so different compared to 5dii which has that softer old digital look. I did have the 5Dii and the saved files from it work well now with good software like lightroom to make them shine. Not sure I'd want another though as they were a bit dinosaurish if you wanted any kind of...

If you are on 1p mobile you don't have to buy any of those extra data deals if you hardly use data unless on wifi. Been with them for years for calls and texts I spend about £30 a year. Here a big plus point is they use EE which is the only one with any semblance of coverage also allow wifi...

To be controversial, portrait orientation is likely to suit portraits especially whole body shots. But is less likely to suit landscapes which might be best in ... landscape orientation. I do use 1:1 quite a lot it works OK on FB and Instagram too.

I have one on W11 and one still on 10 (it can't be updated even using registry tweaks). After a few changes made there's hardly any difference I soon put start menu back where it ought to be though it is still not as good as on 10.

I've found my Dell laptop can't be forced to upgrade to 11 even with registry mod and using the rufus trick. It would probably do it if I did complete wipe and install but that will take several days to get back to how it is so won't be happening in a rush. The problem is you might get around or...

If that's meaning DJI you do have to initially activate it through the app then you can delete it if you want - though I have no idea what you think its going to do. You can access settings and control it from app but everything is there on the back of camera (and front) in well laid out menus...

If it goes flat you might notice date or time is wrong on starting for several minutes - some programs have tantrums about that so worth replacing if symptoms are noticed they are very inexpensive.

Just keep calm and don't worry - I've bought a couple of items through them recently and it's normal nothing happens for about a week. In most cases they are from Hong Kong its no secret. But due to bulk buying or shared shipping costs he can often be significantly cheaper than e-infinity or...
