Nikon P950 vs Canon SX70? My husband loves to photograph wildlife (especially birds) and is currently shooting on a SX60. After a few drops it’s worse for wear and I’d like to replace it for him.

My budget is south of 300 dollars (pretty much nothing, I know) and I’m looking to make the most of it. Thank you! …

What kind of softbox would fit a pancake style light? I have this dimmable portrait light that I use for YouTube videos: https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Bi-Color-Lighting-Flapjack-Dimmable/dp/B07WJJZKYJ?th=1.

Which cropped frame camera for occasional amateur sports photography? I’m a pretty experienced photographer generally, but have been out of the gear buying game for about 8 years and so my gear knowledge is likely out of date.

I’m starting to question something I’ve learned. You want to shoot at the lowest ISO possible, and that high ISO produces noise. If this is the case, why is there cameras that go up to 50,000 ISO? When everybody wants to shoot not more than 12,000 ISO? This is just marketing …
