If so, please DM me brand/model and describe some of the pics on the camera.

Hello Canon friends,

I've been invested into mirrorless for a while now with an R5, but am looking to pick up some older EF cameras that I had always wanted but couldn't afford when new, specifically a 1D series camera. The 1D Mark IV is about as old as I'd go, and I think fits my goals, but while shopping around I noticed that first-gen 1DX cameras were going for not much more ($571 vs $794 on keh). I thought the 1DX was supposed to be a notable upgrade over the Mark IV and 1DS III, so I'm surprised by this and am wondering if I'm missing something? Were 1DX cameras prone to failure or something?

The R5 would be my primary camera; the 1D would be more for fun but when used would be used for things like airshows and wildlife. I think the 1.3x magnification in the Mark IV would suit those needs better, any reason to consider paying a bit more for the 1DX?

I posed the following question in another subreddit: "Non-Asians, what goes through your head when meeting an Asian for the first time?"

I had also asked in that thread about the experiences of Asians, but didn't get too many Asian responses, so I'm posting here, would love to hear your thoughts.

The original thread is below, if interested. I felt most of the responses were congenial, though some were condescending or dismissive.

Original question: For context, I'm a second gen Korean American.  I grew up in an area where, aside from my family, there weren't many other Koreans or other Asians to socialize with, so I ended up much more assimilated into general US culture than other second gen Koreans I've met.

I ask, because I've noticed that if I'm with my non-Asian friends and we meet other non-Asians for the first time, they'll heartily engage my non-Asian friends and at least initially not engage me.  I'm not trying to say they're being racist, but it has made me wonder if they have assumptions about me, perhaps assuming that I don't speak English well, or maybe that I'm not part of the friend group, or maybe some other uncertainty.  Once I've had a few minutes to hang out with them they generally open up but it does take longer than with my non-Asian friends.  If this were a one-off, I wouldn't think anything of it, but it happens pretty consistently.

I'd also like to hear from other Asians, if they have similar experiences.

If you're willing to share generally where you're from I'd appreciate knowing that, as I'm assuming someone living amongst large Asian populations like LA would have a different experience than someone in Ogden, Utah.
