I used Canon DSLR's for over 10 years, with a long overlap with Fuji kit, and am now 100% Fuji. I didn't switch because of the mirror - I moved for the control dials of the Fuji, but I still miss the integrated GPS my 6D had. What do you want from a move is the only real question: my friend...

So I think the two are the same (but am very open to being shown why I'm wrong: I'm more into stills than video). For 'cinema' 24fps the 180-degree rule says 1/48 of a second shutter speed (I'm assuming MILC/DSLR style bodies & shutters as that's all I've used), so by the time we hit 60fps...

Excellent ! That's faster than I'd have expected - sounds like a great outcome.

Yes, the video test is made more complicated by the fact that the video player will be buffering the data (ie: fetching it faster than it's playing it back), and so it may take a few minutes before that buffer is exhausted, which if good news if you're watching Netflix and have a connection that...

Having been all doom and gloom - it's simple enough to try as you've got the parts you need already: open a Zoom call to a friend who knows you're testing this, with the ports set up as you describe, and then pull the broadband cable out of the router and see how it performs ! You could also...

It might switch, but it won't be seamless. The issue will be on what triggers the switch: if the ethernet link between the Mac and the router is up and has a valid IP address even when the broadband link has dropped, then it will take some time for MacOS to notice that the packets aren't going...

I'm no marketing whiz, but Images to me implies you might do more than just Photography, such as image rework, or digital art. As for the rest, Google your ideas, and pick the one with the fewest relevant hits: don't start out with something like "Smith Photos" and spend years trying to climb...

I'd wouldn't like to guess - are they doing it properly because it'd be mad to do this as a day job and not use externally rated stuff, or are the installers subcontractors getting paid by the number of callouts, and so going back in 18 months to replace it is an easy win ? Back in the '90's I...

Yay ! Enjoy :)

The distinction is kind of moot these days as Hub's are very old tech: they basically share the signal on one socket with all of the others. Switches work out which other device you're sending data to, and only pass data between those sockets, so you get better overall data rates as you only...

First question: can the XBox and PC both sit near your study Mesh box ? If so, then wiring both the PC and XBox into it directly sounds to be most likely to work. If you only have one wired network socket on your Mesh box then a small (4 port) Gigabit network switch will sort that out for £20...

That's on there too - the big coloured timeline has loads of the Canon digital cameras on it.

The timeline towards the bottom of this Wikipedia page is awesome for helping get the Canon bodies listed in a useful way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_1DX#External_links

Armchair advice, because I've never published a single video that I've shot (!) but whichever device you use, lock everything possible: aperture, shutter speed, focus and white balance (don't forget the WB!). if you are in a controlled environment then that's easier than out-and-about, but it...

I'd not worry too much yet - their site says that due to holidays nothing ordered now will be processed until Friday the 5th of March, so maybe you got your order in just before they added that note to the front page.
