DSLR/Mirrorless Camera recommendation for low shutter speed timelapses with in-camera rendering? I just bought a Canon T8i (EOS 850D) primarily for its ability to render timelapse photos into video in-camera, which is nice because I don’t want to deal with having to buy an intervalometer and render all the pictures in post, which I had to do with my previous camera (T3i) using Magic Lantern. I was disappointed to see that the Timelapse mode…

Good deal? (For me?)

Good deal? (For me?) I’m considering buying this camera and lenses for $2,000. I want versatility for landscapes, bokeh, and family portraits. I tend to crop, so the higher megapixels are appealing. The included lenses don’t interest me much—I’m thinking of selling them and buying a faster lens for low light and portraits. Is this a good deal? submitted by /u…

Force Flash on Bridge Camera? Hi there! I recently upgraded from a point and shoot to a bridge camera specifically the Canon SX540.
