the Nikon has slightly better specs but I did not like the feel of it, I know where things are on a canon and it is more than good enough.
maybe it is what I am used to or perhaps I have had a few because the shape suits me but of the ones I played with I prefer the handling of the r to other makes and to the mk iv
I have yet to see the results full size ( about 2/3 size for a full res snap even with a 4k+ screen )
I have the pooter working and talking to all it's bits and my phone, the Bluetooth works the headphones to the end of the yard which bodes well for remote for the camera.
I recon I need a day at least to sync the camera and get used to how it interacts with the other things.
after that I can sort photoshop and then start learning to get what I want from the camera.
having just started to play with this pooter it does seem like it was made for creative stuff.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the combo can be made to do, if I can spellcheck with a finger tip or pen or mouse or keyboard I recon photoshop will be fun.
if you do decide to upgrade I recon it needs the right sort of pooter rig to make the most of it.
I spose it is pro quality tools but i'm a bit old and battered to be using the Milwaukee SDS and Hamilton brushes etc etc so applying the same criteria if it needs to look and be right with minimum trouble use good tools.
I recon I am close to complete for hardware once a few more bits arrive and I get a largish external hd and perhaps a 100/300 white series lens ( pre loved at a good price ) if the is will work via the R to EOS converter ring. I need to get the details and ask canon.
as to software I need to find the best photoshop option as that is the tool I need , know and like for leccy photos.
video can wait i have plenty to learn without complicating matters yet.
last time i did video it was DV tape and HD , i had to build a pooter to deal with it, hopefully this one will cope.
a bit of a diversion from camera stuff but pretty relevant , full frame is serious number crunching when it comes to image manipulation and needs a pretty decent screen.
surface pro / R, gulp , where is cardinal fang to hear my confession?
and i also sinned with a new office chair which is far nicer for my knee ,back and shoulder . necessary if rather tiresome.
the headphones are rather nice as well
hopefully the results will justify the means |

I'm using Photoshop Elements (version 14) at the moment - it's good enough for what I do (much like the 80D ) and totally different to anything I'd used before, so I'm still learning it. Newer versions of Adobe software are cloud subscription only (v14 is a freestanding installation), I think, which would annoy me as I don't use it often enough to justify paying 20 quid a month.
Lightroom is ace for cataloging and simple bulk edits, too, so worth reading up on that one. It also lets you design photobooks and calendars, if that sort of thing tickles your fancy, although there are plenty of online alternatives, some of which provide more optionality.
Built my own rig a couple of years back that's more than powerful enough for my purposes. Coupled it with a 16 TB external NAS drive, as storage in GB isn't enough when you routinely come back from a holiday with 5000 photos ). |

happy new year, happy new project
all was set, camera, 20 birds, me.
then a raptor arrived overhead and everyone hid, someone may have hidden a few doors along with the cats
calm is resuming , but the light is starting to go for being able to get feather pattern snaps.
so far i have a few , sort of ok, ones for one bird.
yesterday i could have filled a couple of cards with sparrow close ups
wc fields is the patron saint of wildlife study ".... never work with .... or animals."
as i type most are back including the robin, pigeons and lady blackbird
at least it is not day one wondering where the penguins and my toes are |
