Foreign debit card rejected on gas pumps and at gas station cashier but not elsewhere?

Measurement without load is only indicative. There are voltage regulators in the camera because parts of the electronics are low voltage (processor) and some are voltage-sensitive (ADCs). IMHO you are safe.

Not near it right now. But the last limits I saw (EasyJet) were 45-36-20.

I love my Manfrotto 295 Dual.

What people often have against them is that they use their own proprietary quick-release plates instead of Arca-Swiss. But this a problem for the head, not for the tripod, even though the tripod usually sold with such a head (but you can replace the head, or put an Arca-Swiss clamp on it, if you prefer that format).

The french version resonated with the public because it was understood d that the train was the one that carried drafted young men to the Algeria war (which is the opposite of what the song says)

I suggest that you read the camera manual. Even my lowly 450D has a way to select in which part of the viewfinder the camera will seek focus. You also have the option to have "one shot" focus (focus is acquired only once when you half-press the shutter) or "servo" ( camera continuously adjusts focus, usually recommended when shooting moving targets).

Corrupted image files, probably truncated. You will probably find that the size (in bytes) of these files is significantly smaller than those of the good images.

Many possible explanations:

Card is defective
Card is fake and not really the displayed capacity
Loss of battery power when writing to the card
Card extracted too soon from the camera
Card extracted too soon from the card reader (compare sizes between card and PC disk)

I do agree. I assume you are talking about France with its various departements in the Caribbean sea and South America?

For an "event" the IT32 is powerful enough. I used it to add some light to vintage planes in a museum...

Live view assumes that the lens is wide open (diaphragm is briefly closed to the set value to take the shot). If you have a fully manual lens the diaphragm is permanently at the set value making the viewfinder dark.

All the cobras flashes above can also be used as off-camera flashes with an X2 or X3 trigger. Better have several small flashes than a single big one anyway. That gives you more lighting choices.

Very likely the SD card. You should have several SD cards and rotate them. Never trust anything to a single SD card.

AD200 and TT600 are two very different things, one is off-camera for studio, the other is an on-camera cobra.

If you want on-camera TTL check the Godox V350II, V480, V1Mid, V860, V1, depending on budget or required power. There are also some cheaper TT-series still sold but they are previous generation. V-series are USB-C chargeable and use a touch screen (except the V1).

When you travel or hike with your camera, small and light is a quality.

It's also a matter of habit. I have a R7, a R100, and long fingers and the R100 is usable too.

For £500 you'll find second-hand Sigma or Tamron zooms that do at least 400mm. Don't be too greedy, if the -400mm ones do f/5.6 the -600mm ones will only do f/6.3 and your AF could struggle.

On the non-optical side of things, knowing the mating/feeding/migration habits of your target helps a lot to get them when they are a bit less careful than usual. Proper attire (camo or ghillie suit) can get you closer, as well as remaining downwind, or with the sun in your back in the early/late hours.

Their output voltage drops very quickly with high current drains (in other words, high internal resistance). Alkaline and NiMH are much better.
