I got some advice that waiting for a discounted R50 was the right way to go, but willing to hear about other options. I want something that will be future-proof.

Budget £600 with starter lens, looking to shoot dynamic and portraits.

Thanks!

Inspired by this post I made on Ghost in the Shell.

I'm recording a friend's band and am looking for a beginner (<$100) shotgun mic that won't be awful for loud music.

Just starting out with videography so I'm not expecting to record film quality audio, just want everything to come through clearly.

Thanks!

edit: thanks for the clarification on shotgun mics. I'm going to be walking around so really my need is for it to be easy to carry and point with the camera.

WHERE ARE ALL THE NAKED DUDES?

I demand parity of fan service, give me an evil cigarette smoking cougar with a harem of twink cyborgs.

I've taken a great picture of a friend, but because of the spontaneous capture part of his hairline is out of frame. I could easily composite in the missing hair and background (a 5% horizontal strip at the top of the photograph) from another very similar picture.

Is that still considered a "real" photograph?

Given that the head of Amnesty has offered a meeting ot TERF groups as a conciliatory gesture, I feel like it's important to make sure they hear directly from trans people too. What kind of options are there? Like a group letter delivery from an organisation like TACC directly to their office?

It needs a huge amount of turning to go from one end of the focal length to the other. Because it's digital and not manually changing the focus I thought them might be something I could change in the settings to make it more sensitive. I've not been able to find anything in the manual though.

I was told directly that my order would be shipping "any day now" two weeks ago and it still hasn't happened.

I understand that as a new product from a small company, logistics aren't straightforward and there can be delays.

But if I'm told that and then nothing happens for weeks, I feel a little misled.

I'm really excited for this product as I think it will be an excellent way of resetting how I deal with the internet. It fits perfectly into my needs of practical vs limited. But can we please get a more accurate picture of delivery timelines?
