    Sony RX Series United Thread (Any RX Camera)

    Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts. My natural inclination is to shoot raw and then process or convert as required. This would give maximum flexibility.

    Sony RX Series United Thread (Any RX Camera)

    I recently got an RX100M7 and very pleased with it, I am. One thing that I notice on this thread - I see a lot of people posting up B&W images, do you shoot in B&W or do you remove colour in post-processing?

    Found my problem, I think

    I think that a computer with Core i3 is not going to be able to deliver good fast results with Resolve. I do not know what your budget is but I would look out for a computer with an i7 if possible. I also think that you need to ask for a computer with an absolute minimum of 8Gb RAM although...

    Surface Go...thoughts?

    You are quite right Neilc28. It does rather depend on which side of the 'fence' you sit on.

    Surface Go...thoughts?

    I think that it rather depends on what you are using everywhere else. I use a MacBook Pro and an iPhone. I then, for various reasons, got a Surface Pro and I just could not settle with it - it seemed to me that I was always fighting the system. Since then I have settled on an iPad Pro and...

    Selling Scam? Cheap Lenses?

    Well done, I hope that it all works out well in the end. My advice is 'trust your instincts' - they have been honed over many years and you are almost always going to be right.

    Compact camera

    I would recommend a Sony RX, whichever one suits your budget or requirements - flip up viewing screen / EVF etc. For me, the controls on this camera are pretty good to navigate around, even in dim/dark places and the picture quality they yield is amazing. They are also pretty small and carry...

    MacBook Air verses iPad Pro for on the go editing

    I think that Furtim has given you an excellent insight into the pros and cons of a MacBook Pro vs iPad. However, from a usability standpoint I have other suggestions. As a processing computer for doing serious work etc. I much prefer using a MacBook Pro, it is much easer and faster to work on...

    Macbook Pro running very very slow

    Tony, I use CleanMyMac to regularly clean out unused files etc. and it works well. After over 5 years of regular use, it has not caused me any problems by deleting stuff that should not have been deleted. Every time I use it, roughly monthly, it typically cleans up 2 to 10 Gbytes of storage...

    Card2 cannot be accessed. Reinsert/Chance card or Format Card - 7dmk2

    I personally hate the idea of working with or tolerating a dodgy SD Card or SD Card Slot or both - it might fail at a critical moment and you have virtually no way to recover. My (sledgehammer) suggestion would be to stop using the dodgy SD Cards. Does the Card 2 slot work reliably with all...

    Tromso, Norway

    Pretty much adding to other's comments. It is a most beautiful country and the Norwegians are very friendly and helpful. Almost all of them also speak excellent English. However, prices are eye watering. Just be careful when ordering and there is almost no point going shopping. However, the...
