Can I please have some advice/help on selecting a strobe or speedlight setup (indoors) for my older DSLR camera? Hi all!

How to create a virtual 360 tour with DSLR “Sony a6500” without a fisheye lens? I have learned that depending on the focal length and angle of view a certain amount of pictures has to be taken, in order to create a decent panorama (without a fisheye).

Switching from DSLR to something more compact for travelling. What should I buy? I currently have a Canon 60D (with a 18-200mm lens), but I find it to be a bit of a hassle to carry while backpacking.

Should my DSLR be doing this? Hi, I’ve bought a Nikon d3000 recently, no damage in the advert. I’ve been learning with it pretty hands on, and I’m currently using a sock instead of a lens cover.
