I loved my MX , I had 2 bodies and sold all my film gear about 10 years ago, but wish I'd kept them. Brilliant camera

I only recently bought a R6mkII and I am still learning what this has to offer, and getting used to it. Plus I knew the mkIII was coming out when I purchased it, so I made a considered choice base on the spec and price of the mkII. (tight git) I have never felt the need to be an early adopter...

I was seriously looking at the R5mkii but I don't really need 45mp and the extra spec, plus the extra cost! I know there is a R6mkiii due in the near future but again felt that for the price the R6mkii is very good value for money & is a marked jump in spec from my 70d. I did also consider the...

I will , thank you Tim

New toy time folks, at least I feel as I can now join in this section of the forum. It's taken me a while to make my mind up what to get, but overall I think I will be very happy with my purchase, now just to get out and use it. My trusty old 70D will be handed down to my son , and my 16 year...

Each to your own & I get where you are coming from. I guess that we all have different ways to save our images. You do what works for you, but for me I am glad I still have all my negatives & my fathers as well. Perhaps I'm a horder as I also still have my LP's & CD's !

When my father died, I inherited all his negatives , slide & prints. So glad he kept them as I now have photos of him and his work from the 1940's on. Most of which I had never seen before. I have all my negatives and will never get rid of them.

Canon EOS 450D, my son still uses it

Great thanks , just what I wanted to know.

I'm after some advice, I know some on here use the Kase Magnetic filters? Is there a need to go up a size in filter thread to avoid vignetting? The largest filter size I have is 77mm so would that size filters be okay or should I get the 82mm and a 77-82 adaptor ? Does this happen if you only...

Was working and then not. Carried brick around for the rest of the day. Still got it repaired and I'm still using it, but I looking to go to mirrorless with an R6mkii this year.

My EOS70d died when I was at RIAT a few years ago. The main circuit board was faulty. Lost most of the airshow. That so far has been my only failure

Look at a Pentax MX great little camera, plenty of K mount lenses still around as well. Small but very capable

I still use a Canon 70d and use the centre 9 focus points. At airshows I always expect a relatively high miss rate. Panning us an art form in itself & at my recent trip to shuttleworth I felt I was very rusty as I'd not done any aircraft in flight photography for some time.

Lovely cameras but both are well beyond the spec I need and the price is way too much for me. I'm looking at getting an R6 mkii , looks like that is just the sweet spot in spec and price for me.
