Is there such a thing as a camera sensor cleaning solvent? Good evening. New here and this seems like the right place to ask this question.

Inconsistent flash power in manual? I’m looking for some help please. I was doing some self portraits with a single off camera flash. I had the flash in manual mode at 1/125th 18mm.

Upgrading from t4i/650D, used EOS R vs 5D Mark III vs 1D X? Hey everyone, I’ve had my T4i/650D for 12 years, and it’s been a really good starter camera, it served me well.

I am interested in the Sony A7iv & a Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 lens. Is this overkill for a hobbyist? I’ve dabbled with older DSLRs and a Canon AE-1 but I think I’m ready for mirrorless.
