    We think it’s almost a sure thing Canon will announce a pro EOS R body in 2020

    Lobsters used to be fed to prisoners for multiple meals a day in colonial New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine(part of Massachusetts then) because they were so plentiful and relatively easy to harvest. Dunno about butter tho.

    During fishing season in Upstate NY, asking for 2.54cm worms at a Bait Shoppe gets you a very stern look, eh?

    Canon EOS RP body price confirmed at $1299 USD, and we’re very happy about it

    As a fence sitter on the R series, I like the pricing at intro. My grandson may be inheriting an M6 sooner than I would have anticipated. The M6 served me well as a "toe in the water" for mirrorless. Unfortunately, Canon did not factor in the size of my hands, and my need to wear transition...

    He/She who is easily offended shall cast the 1st stone(1s), and might be better off as a pedestrian on the Information SuperHighway(ISH). I learn, at least something, everyday from this forum.

    Canon Has 93 Reasons You Shouldn't Settle for Smartphone Photos

    iPhone 8 is an improvement & can be fired from my Apple Watch which helps hand held/marginally steadied. M6 and 5D IV can both connect to, and be triggered by the iPhone 8 when mounted, steadied, or hand held. For the internet, everything seems to be a go, but if you want to snap something...

    Fantastic Deals this Year: Thoughts, Opinions, Confessions

    Took a decent Turkey Day deal on a M6w/long lens, and got a deeply discounted EF-EOS M Adapter as my added bonus just in case. So far, M6 seems like it will make a great light travel camera, as I age and get more lazy. 8)

    Which software for video editing?

    Adobe Premiere Elements is OK for quick small projects Reasonably easy to learn, & a decent support forum for typical questions, plus the price doesn't break the bank. I'm a MAC person, but my expectations for the Windows version would be the same. HD speed & capacity, and memory size are...
