Flowta Posted November 30, 2016 Share Yes they did. I bought from B&H in New York. Quite painless and no slower than dealing with local dealers in my experience. I am quite used to needing international support for high end gear so this didn't scare me at all. Also I am not paying extra I feel you know what I mean. An example is the new Canon 1DX 2 sells for 120k locally. 90k from B&H. Five day shipping, pay the vat and you are done. The 6300 weighs just 400g, shoots 11 frames a second, has one of the fastest focusing systems of any camera, is just over 24 MP, and has a shutter rated for 200000 actuations which is the same as the 1DX. But you can buy 5 6300's for the price of the 1DX 2. The 1 DX shoots 11 frames a second and has better battery life. I was wondering which Sony you had. I have an NEX 6. Picked it up for dirt cheap as the lcd screen doesn't work, but has the EVF, which I would have used anyway. Also have an Olympus E-PL6, which is also very capable HappyMartin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JXV Posted November 30, 2016 Share Question about phone cameras: If you plan to spend 2 weeks on holiday, mostly in a first world city environment, and you want to travel light, how would you go about it? I'm definitely not going to take the big Canon with all its lenses along. I'll mostly be taking holiday snaps of architecture and people. A good panoramic feature will be appreciated, as well as decent indoor low light images. My "mik and druk" is a little Canon D30 waterproof that normally does duty paddling, fishing and cycling. Not really very versatile, bad indoors, no panoramic, limited zoom. Would you rely entirely on your phone? Between us we have two Sony Experias that take marvelous snaps. My old iPhone 4 is due for an upgrade. What should I get if I want a decent camera? iPhone SE? 6? 7? Another Sony?Phone cameras really good these days but 2 main disadvantages: they aren't too good in low light and the lenses aren't wide enough for the kind of street, architecture and landscapes that I like to shoot. Even the advanced mikendruks are not wide enough. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 7, 2016 Share I could really have this as a landscape on my wall at home... Just need to sort out the horizon a tad, IMO. For some reason it seems a leeeeetle bit skew Edited December 7, 2016 by Myles Mayhew 90 Inch and Fruity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
