    Hiking rucksack vs camera rucksack

    I use a deuter trail 30 with a peak design cube insert medium size. The deuter trails can be found very cheap at the moment. I can access the camera from the front zips. It can fit a fuji xpro2, the biggish 50-200 2.8 attached to the body if required, the 10-24 and enough room for a couple more...

    Monitors for photo editing and processing

    This perhaps https://www.nrgit.biz/products/dell-u2413-monitor I use this https://www.nrgit.biz/products/dell-u2515h-25-inch-monitor . It was meant as a stop gap but I've found it a good with small pixel pitch so you can fit a lot on the screen without sitting in front of a patio door. I don't...

    Beginner What to do about camera?

    There are two cheap cameras now, that I can recommend from experience, and which will cost you peanuts compared to their capability: The canon 5 mk I (classic) and the Fuji S5 pro. Their iso capability may be junk compared to newer cameras, but pair them with an 85mm of your choice and with a...

    used or new

    As above, a fuji xt-1 and the 18-55 from mpb will come under budget and hard to beat.

    Beginner Am I expecting too much from my camera? Or still making beginner mistakes .

    I would imagine the 60D would do better than that at 3200. It looks like it was a bit underexposed and pushed exposure in post processing. Even more modern sensors will show noise in those circumstances. I'd suggest getting the exposure correct in camera by dropping the shutter speed, trusting...

You can always put lenses and camera in another smaller...

    polishing out chip on front lens

    a small chip is unlikely to impact the image but a low spot may, so I wouldn't touch it if I were you.

    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    The fuji cameras do render small details differently in my experience. I have found that you do have to be very careful about the sharpening you apply and perhaps only sharpen on export, in scenes where it may become obvious. Interestingly, I remember the old fuji S5 pro could have a plastic...
