Guys, could you recommend a camera to start in astrophotography? I have a telescope and I want to start taking photos with it, I never had a camera before and my budget is low. Also, if it exists, it would be useful for me if the camera could also be used for “normal” photography so I could get the most out of it. submitted by /u/Dramatic_Soup1805

How many of you use camera cages regularly on your cameras as a way to protect them? I have one for my canon m50mk2 and was looking to get one for my m6mk2 as well but cannot find it. Not even used. And then I got to thinking, do I really need it? The one I have on my m50 came with the camera so I never really questioned it and the added thickness does help with better grip. submitted by /u/ADPL34
