Thanks everyone for all of your help...I asked a lot of questions....a few dumb ones in hindsight. But I feel I have arrived at a build. I couldn't stomach the higher ASUS prices though every time I looked at the Strix I felt at home. The bios, the look of the board, their bloatware was like...

Ah - our Canadian retailers are not so upfront....only upon checkout do you get the 13% sales tax and possible shipping fees displayed.

Am still researching my new build...being recently retired I have had enough time to read tech info all day. What I've learned: My preference was for an ASUS board as they were used in my last two builds.....but after researching current Z790 offerings they seen ridiculously priced compared to...

THANKS! Actually the Prime Z790 P was what I first gravitated towards as I didn't want wifi and it was the cheaper entry level to this chipset. But then I started reading less than favorable reviews especially over the VRMs - but have since realised that these are reviews by people that want to...

Considering a new build for a photo editing only ATX. My 11 year old i7 3700K build was masterful and while overkill at the time it still serves me well. I spent the time to understand the needs of a photo editing rig and the components that were available then but things have changed. I only...

I own an EOS R....and now a Google Pixel 6. I have a Vello remote trigger that i love and use frequently...however, using a phone app would intrigue me if I could also use it to select the focus point. Also when I do landscapes and the camera is low to the ground with the tripod legs splayed...

I'm thinking of buying a RRS tripod but am confused. RRS has two different versions of each tripod....a fixed apex vs. versa apex version. I never shoot panoramas nor do I shoot video. So is the fixed apex version for me?

Dehaze is in the standalone l version?

Thanks everyone, I actually just finished the 7 day trial of LR Classic. Don't feel it does much over LR 5.7 except for the dehaze slider which seemed worthwhile addition once I learned how/when it was best to use it. It gave me access to the recent photoshop but I do little in it - probably...

Right now LR CC seems quite cheap as they try to entice people away from their standalone program on to their subscription based program. However I fully expect Adobe to increase the cost for CC once they've shut down both LR 6 and LR Classic.What happens when Adobe has killed off LR Classic and...

I currently use Lightroom 5.7 with a Canon 5D3. I am not a gearhead so I don't have plans to buy a new camera though I realize my 5 year old camera could use a refresh. For me, photography is a passion. While I earn a few thousand dollars a year on Getty Images, my decisions about photography...

Don’t Use SD Cards with Your Canon 5D Mark III If You Care About Speed https://petapixel.com/2012/06/24/dont-use-sd-cards-with-your-canon-5d-mark-iii-if-you-care-about-speed/

How does that card stack up against a RX 460?

Did a system upgrade. Monitor is playing very well with LR now. At time of first use, it was slowing down when I was using crop tool - this forces LR to change zoom to fit in to screen. As a result, I added a second SSD as the LR lrdata previews file (> 100 GBs) had almost filled my SSD C boot...
