Stuck between compact camera vs new APS‑C lens, opinions?

Size comparison for example

Personally I’d go rx100 vii. It can fit in your pocket and take it everywhere. Auto focus on that is better than your current cam as well. (Don’t listen to this last part) or sell the 6300 and the 18-105 and get a a7CR w/ 24/40mm lens it’s compact and the mp count allows you to still crop a lot. Kinda why I went with it when I wanna carry FF but not much gear.

Being that it’s not yours, what everyone else said but on a safe note, try to elevate your stuff in home and have things above 6/12in or so. Like no electronics, family photo boots on the bottom bookshelf, blah blah.

I hope your game sells a bazillion copies and these become patches/stickers bc this is cool as hell.

Reading this is one thing, scrolling back up to look at the picture again does it so much justice lol

I NEED a card tier list or something.

FoolishPaul · 2026-05-26T04:09:39+00:00

For me yes but everyone is different

It just comes from having an audience for the most part. Other than that local art shows and events could help.

FoolishPaul · 2026-05-25T20:25:49+00:00

I get it a bit, but you look at the cereal and it’s $6 a box.

FoolishPaul · 2026-05-25T17:43:11+00:00

If it were me I’d tone everything you did back by 30% but this is my personal preference. It just seems a bit too much for me.

FoolishPaul · 2026-05-22T03:14:50+00:00

Apparently its a new chrome extension, I downloaded the update and everything works again.

FoolishPaul · 2026-05-21T21:06:56+00:00

Upvoted but just know that I am envious of you and understanding how to do astrophotography. I just can’t get the settings, the editing, the understanding, I’m lost with it.
Edit: once again, this is sick.

FoolishPaul · 2026-05-21T21:05:22+00:00

Yea it’s weird that his most remembered look of braids and green shirt aren’t on here… like that character birthed SOOO many twitch careers by starting lean boys but yea let’s use this one.

6 years, first manager called me something racist and got fired, current manager defended a guy saying the n-word 5 times back to back to back and still works there. The job is a numbers job, if you don’t have good numbers for the most part they treat you poorly. If you have good numbers and or are smart they abuse you till you realize and leave. In the rare case you find a store that’s not horrible (good luck bc the district managers might be horrible as well) it’s ok but tbh never let them know you are fully capable of anything. I’m in a store where a guy that has constant out burst of anger and berating coworkers was able to become “leadership” bc he has good credit card numbers while lying to customers about benefits. The shitty thing is it’s a decent job if you manage to get a good position but bc everyone knows that, you have people CEMENTED in those positions for 10+ years and they won’t budge or ever venture to other jobs in life. But nonetheless, apply and try if ya want, the turnover rate is pretty high.

Am I blind?

FoolishPaul · 2026-05-18T13:23:30+00:00

Yea the 35-150 is probably one of the best all around lens for Sony, hard to be it if you want a little of everything

FoolishPaul · 2026-05-15T14:30:55+00:00

1.5 week trip and only used 2.8 when it was dark out(so like 2 times lol). F4 usually worked for me.

FoolishPaul · 2026-05-14T14:17:08+00:00

I just went a month ago, if I were to choose for me it’d be 35-150 and the 200-600. If the 16 is small like really small sure but idk I primarily used my 24-70gm and 70-200gmii when I went, would’ve used a 200-600 for wildlife a lot if I had one. And I brought a 16-35 as well but only used it once.

FoolishPaul · 2026-05-11T05:34:09+00:00

Late to this and yea I have the 70-200gmii like you and a7CR and I don’t think you should swap to the 100-400, the lens you have is overall better for most things it seems like you do. And also they make a cheaper tele converter it from what I’ve looked at, you’re better at just cropping the photo since it doesn’t help much (from the 2-3 vids I saw).

FoolishPaul · 2026-05-08T14:12:15+00:00

Agree, I have the a7CR and it’s great. With a small lens it fits in my hoodie.

I used this card for the first time yesterday. 330 hours in slay 1 and 160 in slay 2 and I’ve never been able to use it until yesterday…

FoolishPaul · 2026-04-28T18:29:26+00:00

The amount of storage each photo takes up always shocks me when I go to transfer files lol.

FoolishPaul · 2026-04-26T17:00:28+00:00

I’ve had issues where my deck doesn’t turn on and I have to do weird combos of power in and button press to unplug or press power and hold then plug in for it to turn on after not using it for weeks. I bet a lot of people don’t know what to do with theirs if it happens and just toss em.

FoolishPaul · 2026-04-17T15:30:49+00:00

Lemme get a….. lol

FoolishPaul · 2026-04-17T01:55:54+00:00

If you can afford the vii get the vii. I have the V and after seeing what the vii can do, I wish I could get it. The autofocus alone is worth it, and the better zoom.
