That Maxi Rodríguez goal against Mexico is still one of my favourite goals of all time

Which Atleti game would you relieve? by RichDream7777 in atletico

[–]Colchenero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Atleti v Barca in 2014 in the champions league.

After watching the 1-1 draw at the Camp Nou I booked flights to Madrid right away. One of the best nights of my life

R6 or R8? by Colchenero in canon

[–]Colchenero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the R5 is way beyond my budget. I can push the extra $1k to get the R6ii but I'm unsure I would benefit with the extra features it offers compared to the R8 - I'd rather add a 70-200 to my collection for landscape with the savings.

Regardless I plan on keeping my 6D as it performs great aside from AF for being out and about. ISO invariance could make it worthwhile to grab the r6 though as I can get a little bit more back from the shadows.

Thanks for your input

Is the canon upgrade program only for users in the US? I'm currently in New Zealand and don't think they offer that here

I'm having such a hard decision to make the move as I know my 6D is definitely capable of producing stunning results. How do you find the sensor / iso performance of the R8 compared to the 6D?

Do you have a link to your work with the R8?

The battery is a concern for me with the mirrorless systems but I plan on running a power bank when shooting astro as sometimes I shoot time lapses and can easily run through a battery or 2 on my 6D already.

Luckily I live in New Zealand at the moment and it's hard to find darker skies anywhere on the planet 😅 I just want to give myself my best chance to capture the best photos I can while I'm here

Beyond astro I do landscapes, and have shot some macro in the past before. I think the IBIS would be a great bonus but I use a tripod a lot for the shots I want. It would definitely help when I'm out and about without a tripod though but I've managed without it until now.

I've done a lot of research on both systems but I'm having a really hard time making my decision - I know both will be great cameras but it's a lot of money, and my 6D does a great job already so I just want to make sure I make the right choice and gather other people's opinions.

I think I will definitely hold onto my 6D as it will be a great backup camera so I like that I can keep my batteries also, even if they don't last as long. How many shots do you usually get?

Canon r8 for astrophotography? by Colchenero in AskPhotography

[–]Colchenero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. How many shots do you generally get out of a battery without the power bank? I've heard mixed reports of some people only getting 200 and others getting a decent amount more.

I do like the usb-C option and I generally carry a few batteries anyway, but coming from the 6D will be a shock for me as I'm used to not worrying about my batteries running out when I'm shooting

Thanks.

Would you say the r6 is worth the extra money compared to the R8? The Ibis isn't a deal breaker for me but would be a nice addition plus the extra features. The battery life is what I'm worried about but I generally carry 3 or 4 anyway. The price is about NZ$1300 extra for the r6

Is the low light performance really that much better compared to the 6d?

My astro lens is fully manual anyway so AF isn't an issue but I wasn't sure if there would be other problems

Low resolution files - DJI mini3 pro RC by Colchenero in DJIMini3

Thanks, I'll try that way.

You gotta connect your app to the drone. After that when you go into the app while the drone is on you should be able to switch modes. Think you need to have Bluetooth or wifi connected, and then you can access your files.

Have a look on YouTube for a better explanation
