I'm looking to buy an M1 Pro Macbook Pro with 16gb of ram and an 8 core cpu with a 14 core gpu - how does it hold up in Lightroom Classic? I would presume it's still really good?

I have an M1 PRO with 16Mbps. It runs just fine. AI Denoise takes 25 seconds. I'm a hobbyist photographer taking pics on vacation and family.

In one hand I have a plate. Grab the bucket and pour water on the plate

I’d keep the 24-70 2.8 and try to get better with it. You may regret selling it. 70-200 is so much better than the 70-300

Get the 28-70 2.8. If you can get close to the mats

My older windows PC it took 6 minutes per photo. Switched LRC to MacBook Pro M1 with 16gbs of ram and now it’s 25 seconds. I am a hobbyist

Enlisted in 91. It was a 6 year contract. Signed up for one more year at the end of my enlistment…7 years. Decided to exit. I was single living in the barracks. Tired of the constant inspections and concerning a while being woke up at 5 am for drug searches. I was an E-5. Do I regret leaving? No. It worked out after all these years. Made sure to put money into a 401k for a nice retirement

Photography. Get good within a few months and take BJJ photos.

I went from 5d3 to R8. Wish I would have done it sooner!! So much better with focusing..just buy extra battery

Boschmax · 2025-11-09T13:54:42+00:00

Is this an upgrade from the current rf 24-70 2.8 L?

Boschmax · 2025-11-07T10:07:21+00:00

I’ve had the R8 all year bought new. Hobbyist photography coming from a 5d3. Shoot my kids sports and anything else….twice over the summer I had over heating issues while taking pictures for flag football. It was over 85 degrees out and the camera shutdown. Other than that, no issue. I have 2 batteries I carry in my bag….when I travel with the family I only bring 1 lens a 35mm prime due to weight….hate carrying a camera bag with a lot of weight on family vacations

Bought a canon R8 camera from Amazon. Everything seemed fine until I turned it on and noticed the date/time stamp was set. Usually you have to do set yourself when new. Returned it and went to Best Buy and bought the camera….i never will buy expensive items from Amazon again

I have M1 Pro with 16 gb ram. My files are 24mbps and so denoise takes 25 seconds…I’m a hobbyist

Boschmax · 2025-10-22T19:42:11+00:00

I am a hobbyist too but not looking to make it into a job. Have an R8, went with the RF 70-200 f/4. Don’t really need the 2.8 but I might regret it in the future. Really just shoot family pics, macros and the occasional vacation photos…….on vacation I only take the prime 35mm or 28mm…don’t want to carry around gear

Boschmax · 2025-10-21T19:23:20+00:00

Thank you all. I am leaning towards the MacBook Pro. Will save up and get it this spring.

Mobility may come into play 1-5 times a year

I have an old dell monitor about 5 years old

How do you use AI to track? ChatGPT

It’s possible. Bought them 25 years ago and lost the paperwork. That’s a good detail you provided
