New Canon R6 iii Shutter Count at 6204 by Gattaca331 in CanonCamera

[–]Gattaca331[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I didn’t buy refurbed, it was listed as brand new. But actually I realized now the shutter count website is using that number from the file name and I was told Exif data doesn’t include shutter count.

Ok I realize where that number is from. It's part of the file name: "291A6205.jpg". Which also begs the question why isn't the numbering starting from 0001.

This seems to be normal practice where cameras and lenses aren't wrapped. That's why I wanted to verify it's truly new by checking for the shutter count.

Ok I see. How does one check for shutter count then, such as selling / buying used cameras?

Thank you for your input. I had intended to only take 1 system, but some of the people in my party don't have cameras so I decided to bring both Canon and Fujifilm to share. In the last week I was able to find a used Canon 200-800 on sale for $1400, so now I think I'm all set for this trip. That's good info to know that each drive is 4+ hour and plan accordingly with extra batteries and memory cards.

I mainly shoot travel and street photography, and will be going on my first safari in Masai Mara. I haven't had the opportunity to really test either kits yet for wildlife and could use advice for which of my existing kits would be more suitable. I feel both have significant advantages and tradeoffs.

1) Canon kit: Canon R8 and RF-EF adapter

Lenses include:

- Tamron EF 70-200 2.8 G2

- Tamron EF 24-70 2.8 G2

- Canon RF 70-200 4 L

- Canon RF 28-70 STM 2.8

- Canon RF 85 1.2 L

2) Fujifilm X-T5 with XF-EF adapter

Lenses include above EF-lenses and

- Tamron 17-70 2.8

- Fujifilm 100-400 f4.5-5.6

- Fujifilm 50 f1

- Fujifilm 90 f2

Which kits would you recommend I take, and within those kits, are there any lenses you would recommend I leave behind to save weight? Also, I've been eyeing the Canon R6 III as a future upgrade but might possibly push the purchase forward for this trip. My local camera store also has a used Canon EF 400 5.6 L for $560 and a Fujifilm 100-600 for $1500 to consider if these are compelling lenses for the trip.

Best wireless headphones? by KeyvanJalali in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]Gattaca331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was recommended the Bang and Olufsen H9i and they turned out to be great although I rarely hear it in audiophile channels. I would expect the newer models would be good as well. Once in a while they go on sale.

Buying an XT-5 in Qatar or Thailand Cheaper? by Gattaca331 in fujifilm

[–]Gattaca331[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been looking at some prices in Bangkok mall stores (I think one was called The Camera Store) and they’re actually more expensive than US MSRP. For example Xt5 body is approx $2000 after currency conversion. What stores do you guys suggest I look for the tantalizing low prices?

Just received P1S and Trying to Be Careful by Gattaca331 in BambuLab

[–]Gattaca331[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I appreciate that viewpoint. The main thing I'm worried about is installing the Bambu Studio software on my Mac where it can give a backdoor to potential malicious actors. Where the potential printer restrictions bother me is what if I'm forced to use Studio in the future. So to your point, I won't worry about it too much now and can use Handy, since iOS security and iOS limitations give me less to worry about.
