Just ordered
one of these
. I have an L-bracket on my cameras and for a while now I've wanted for a simple strap I can quickly disconnect when I switch to my tripod. Did some research answering a question for someone and helped myself in the process.
I really like the fact there's really only one point of failure and if you torque down on that clamp it won't move.
I've been using OP/TECH straps for years and they're great but even when disconnected there's still a few inches of strap connected to the strap eyelets. You can connect them together to make a small hand strap but I'd still prefer nothing at all when mounted on the tripod. Don't want anything flapping around or worse getting caught on something.

Anyone have experience with Canon EOS M3? Will rep for input. Looking for a camera that has AF for video, most likely mirrorless rather than like a 70D. Don't like that you can't rotate the display on the A6000, but have read some semi iffy things on the M3. Pls respond! Thanks photo brahs

I highly suggest you save up and but the Metabones Speedbooster XL
it will make tons of glass so much more usefull and faster.
for example a 50 f1.4 will become f1.2 and instead of 100mm its 75mm just like APSC.

Not sure it's worth paying all that for the Speedbooster and Canon lenses when I could use that money for lenses that already fit. If I did have lenses this would be a no brainer.

A99II announced. 12fps at 42.4mp, 4k full pixel readout, probably great dynamic range… Sh*ts all over the 5D4.

Competition is a great thing. Canon and Nikon had the market to themselves for so long. Charge whatever they wanted. Take as long as they liked for pro features to trickle down to the more affordable models.
I still think Nikon will use this 42mp sensor in the successor to the D810. It'll probably be limited to 7fps, maybe 8 if they want to one up Canon, but where it will take a steaming dump on the Sony and Canon is AF. They drop some D5 Multi-CAM 20K magic into it and it will go to the head of the class.

Sony has no chance against Canon or Nikon in the professional DSLR market.
Stick to mirrorless and making sensors.
Sony has the world's worst customer service (other than samsung) and support. i cant imagine them competing against CPS or NPS in the pro dslr game.

If it isn't expensive I might be jumping ship.

Don't be too quick to switch if you need speed and autofocus, these cameras will make the 5Dmk2 focus look good.
Fujifilm says it has set a price target "way under $10,000" for GFX 50S plus the GF63mm lens and the default viewfinder in the box.

I've been waiting a long time for a full frame camera from them.
Obviously had bigger plans. Great news.

Fine for landscapes but when you've hiked for hours to a location and decide you also want to photograph some wildlife you'll probably want another camera. So that means carrying two systems.
A 42mp Nikon that shoots around 7fps with a slightly watered down D5 AF system + 4K video would appeal to me more since it could cover all bases.

What's the best all purpose camera in the $1,000 price point in 2016 for someone who wants to learn/become a hobbyist?
I was going to buy a Canon 7D a few months ago, but I keep hearing about mirrorless. Is that the way to go?

something like a canon 70d.
1. Good autofocus
2. worlds best video autofocus.
3. touch flip out tilty screen
4. wifi
5. excellent ergonomics.
6. Canon glass (far superior to anything mirrorless) in selection and quality.
7. you can pick up a body for around $700-800

There are clones out there sold under various brands for around $100 but I've noticed Yongnuo offers one for $80. Add the battery and charger for $30 and it's a fifth of the price.

Think hard about if you want to lug around an slr though, there is nothing magic or 'serious' about them anymore. I know so many people that have bought them over similar but more expensive mirrorless cameras and have never used them much because they can't be bothered carrying them. The best camera is one you will actually use and take with you.
