greatlamp on Samsung PRO Plus MicroSD Card 1TB $129.48 Delivered @ Amazon UK via Amazon AU

Write speed over 100 isn't going to matter for these cards in most devices anyway. Most cameras aren't going to support the advertised…

browser on Sony Alpha A6700 Mirrorless Camera (Body Only) $1,695 + Postage ($0 BNE C&C) @ VideoPro

Coupon can void cashback. It may track initially but Sony can reject it 1-2 months down the line when they reconcile it.

On this point just commenting in case it helps anyone that is looking at more intensive use cases. On my Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Lightroom is…

In most devices though it doesn't really matter as they are bottlenecked to 100MB/s due to UHS-I limits. The only reliable scenario for…

Yeah F2 from F2.8 is a full stop like f2.8 vs F4 would be.

F2 zoom and crazy price go hand in hand.

qvinto on [Special Order] Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM Zoom $3,569.96 Delivered @ Ted's Cameras

This is more comparable to the Sony 100-400 than the 200-600. Not a fan of Canon prices but the premium in price for this lens looks about…

Its not inflation or the exchange rate, the X100 series became trendy and sold out everywhere.…

Yeah they messed up!

eecan replied to
spiderbite88 on Sony 300mm F2.8 OSS GM Lens $7920 + Delivery (Free C&C) + Surcharge @ digiDirect

If you look at the 3rd picture in the listing you can see it is the Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G.

I'd recommend price matching at Sony to avoid the Digidirect credit card surcharge.

spiderbite88 on Sony 300mm F2.8 OSS GM Lens $7920 + Delivery (Free C&C) + Surcharge @ digiDirect

You mean the Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G or 70-200 f4? Sounds too cheap for a f4 zoom at 70-300.

That wouldn't really scare me off the brand. Sigma's 24-70 F2.8 V1 for e-mount was infamous for dust sucking.

Idgaf about wedding RAWs but picking the right lens does not mean you don't have to process a photo... shooting at 50mm instead of 85mm or…
