So I shoot a d7100 looking to upgrade. Was thinking of the 7500 as mirrorless is still way out of my price range for a good body I would use for wildlife. Recently picked up a canon 80d for my partner and was blown away but how smooth the shutter is, I barely feel it while shooting. In comparison my d7100 creates noticeable mirror slap when it fires. I was wondering if the shutter feels the same on the d7500 as the d7100?

Looking at upgrading to r7 with a tamron 150-600, I understand with the canon mirrorless bodies often have focus pulsing issue. But I hear this isn’t universal. With some it’s so severe it’s unusable, other its minor and some people seem to have zero issues.
My question is where does the problem lay in the body or the lens copy or a combination of both?
I’m basically wondering how likely it is I could buy a body and then try different lens until I find one that works?
Please don’t recommend other lenses that cost double.

So I shoot wildlife with slow zoom lenses on a d7100 it’s definitely not great in golden hour and my iso tend to push up and above 1000 where I really find I loose the crisp detail and ability to crop.

Been considering jumping up to a d7500 as it’s supposed to handle the noise much better. What I’m trying to understand is what exactly this means in terms of the picture. Do high iso pictures on good low light capable sensors basically look like a lower ISO pics from a lessor camera thus retaining the detail that can be cropped in on or is it more just the noise is smoother in appearance so the image doesn’t look as terrible?

Ps I know apcs isn’t as good as a full frame the d7500 is just an example as it’s known to be “good for a apsc” and I shoot apsc

So looking at buying a sigma or tamron g2 150-600. New is out of my budget but because they are so many around I can find used ones in great shape for nearly half the price. My concern is what the life expectancy of the electronics actually is? Googles AI respond is 7-10 years. Is that a reliable number or is it just very conservative like shutter life which regularly far outlast expected life?
If the reality is that a used one is likely start to have issue after 5years it’s not worth buying for me.
I understand everything is a gamble and I could buy a lens and have it die in a week. I’m asking about what is a true reasonable expectation for the life of af and vibration control on these lenses.

Hi, I’m looking for the aperture vs focal specs for this lens. Been googling and can’t find it. I’m in a time crunch so wondering if someone can help.
Thanks!

Trying to find a break down of aperture at different focal lengths. Been googling and can’t find this and I’m in a big time crunch.
If anyone knows or has a link to a reference please help.
Thank you!

So I notice this has been addressed on here before but I was unaware of the link…. Until today.
I’m a musician and have my first gig coming up this week after a 10year hiatus. Turns out I just spent two hours in a car last night who just fell ill this morning. This is my worse nightmare as I have a shit immune system and really needed my voice to be in peak condition. So in a panic I researched things that have proven efficacy to help nip a virus in the bud. I came across zinc, determined the dose I needed and the most bio available form, ran out the door and picked up 25mg capsules of zinc bisglycinate. Took one immediately. Upon arriving home I did a bit more digging and turned out I needed lozenges of zinc acetate and they are basically impossible to get on short notice. Flash forward 7 hours and I’m having rsl. I never get it during the day so immediately suspected the big dose of a zinc and lo and behold found the link between the two.

Hi I’m a solo acoustic act just getting back into it after a decade hiatus. I used to only play small original sets, but now I’m starting to book for bars and breweries in my area 2-3h sets. I’m curious on what percentage of covers to originals is a good? Im a talented writer and my songs get even first time listeners hooked pretty well. I would like to be promoting my original work as much as possible but at the same time I don’t want to limit my bookings. So for other original artists what do you think is a good mix of covers to originals?
