Selling old DSLR gear is horrible nowadays The price for used DSLR and lenses are deeply declining. And only newbies (noobies) will only interest in them and I feel like taking advantage of them when selling the dead system. Other people heavily haggling at DSLR sale posts.

Help deciding for a new camera because i have no idea about gear So I do a lot of adventure (skiing, climbing, mtb, caving), landscape and wildlife photography and videography. After my d500 broke down and might not be fixable I will probably have to buy a new camera. I loved the d500 but video was not the best. Now I’m looking into buying a ff camera because I do a bit less of wildlife (though still almost e…

Concert Gear Question So I know full frame is better for concert/ sports. And I know you need to use lenses with low f-stops, alot of research I’ve done said F2.8 is used more often than the 1.4 found on prime lenses when out and actually shooting. My question is, if I “cheap out” and get a cheaper FF camera like the Nikon Z5 or a Sony a7ii am I sacrificing a lot? Ca…

Most gear reviews feel more like ads these days. Is there a good site where amateurs post their photos and tag them with the gear so people can easily make their own comparison? I’m trying to decide on an 85 vs 135 prime to get some fall subject shots and it’d be nice if there was a Flickr type site where you can basically search #sony a7iv #135 F1.8 and then run similar searches for other lenses to make ones own comparison. Bonus points for non gear terms like #bokeh or #nature etc. to really highlight their use cases….

Travelling to Cancun – what gear to take? Hello, Heading to Cancún for a week, mostly to relax but will head out with camera. I haven’t used my Xpro3 in months and thought I should take it along with the 4 prime lenses but on packing I’m wondering if I shouldn’t just take the X100V.

I have an AirTag in it that I noticed was in another city, and I had the maintenance team go in my garage to check and it’s for sure not inside.
