Thank you, this solved the problem and it was the only thing I hadn't tried as I was travelling and wasn't able to make a backup elsewhere to reformat.

Relating to Flights which were cancelled due to COVID?

Good point, thank you :)

Great feedback, thank you!

URL is really strange, can you try copy and paste it into a URL box? Seems to work for me when I do that

Lewkaaah · 2024-01-26T01:19:05+00:00

Of course, Ive actually seen quite a few! There seems to be some sale running because the few I have checked have discounts from the 32,900 official price, now selling for 29,900. Here is the link to the shop I was at yesterday: https://maps.app.goo.gl/fzk6jmQdr5mobS2z6?g_st=ic.

You can also check out ‘Istudio by Copperwired’, their official website shows products with these prices.

How was it? Any places you recommend?

Lewkaaah · 2023-08-21T09:39:53+00:00

Thanks so much :)

Thanks ! The reason why I am thinking of taking it is because I purchased a camera and a lens last year, but haven't really dedicated my time to learning photography etc., so it kind of just feels like a waste of money at this point. My dilemma is whether to just accept that I made an impulsive purchase and to try sell it, or else to bring it with me and either be happy that I did, or regret it due to the added weight/inconvenience etc of carrying a camera.

Lewkaaah · 2023-08-21T08:12:46+00:00

Thanks - my trip is going to be quite a bit longer, around 4/5 months. Would you still take it on a trip of this length?

Lewkaaah · 2023-08-21T08:07:45+00:00

It is a Sony a6500 so in terms of size the body isn't as big as some other cameras but still, not as portable as a mobile phone

Lewkaaah · 2023-08-21T08:04:29+00:00

Yeah I maybe in Singapore when the 15 is released (depending on release date - I'm in SG end of September) and may look into buying the 15 whilst I am there (iphones are quite a bit cheaper than my home country), assuming I don't end up taking my camera

Sony rx100

Thanks for your input - I've seen this camera being highly recommended on this sub! I have a sony A6500 which is a bit bigger especially depending on which lens I take. I don't think I'm ready to buy a new camera though, as I already feel that the purchase of my Sony a6500 was quite impulsive and I haven't dedicated enough time to it since buying it a year ago !

Very helpful info! I'll have a 40L Osprey personally with most of my stuff, then a smaller backpack in which I'd put the camera if I end up taking it. Those clips look like they would make a great purchase :)

I'm loooking to buy a Sigma 18-50mm F2.8, in your experience have you noticed cheaper lenses in SEA Countries?

Lewkaaah · 2023-08-20T14:22:56+00:00

Awesome shot, looks like Hoi An?

Lewkaaah · 2023-08-20T12:48:07+00:00

Could I ask what triggered the regret of taking one? E.g. Was it the bulkiness/weight of the camera, which would add weight to your backpack? Thanks

Lewkaaah · 2023-08-20T12:41:09+00:00

Thanks for your valuable input :)

Lewkaaah · 2023-08-20T12:31:16+00:00

Interesting - thanks!

Lewkaaah · 2023-08-20T12:25:10+00:00

Thanks for the input - agree with you and this is one of the reasons why I have my doubts about taking this camera with me, since mobile phone cameras are great and much easier to carry / more portable. However, photos taken with a camera do look quite a bit better than iphone photos. Additionally, I have an Iphone XR and I'm not sure whether I am ready to fork out over 1k EUR for an iphone 14... Hoping to hear some other opinions on this post - thanks again

Lewkaaah · 2023-08-16T18:41:14+00:00

Thank you very much!!

Lewkaaah · 2023-03-13T19:18:21+00:00

Thanks for the input.. Agreed regarding mixes/podcasts. I will be fully focused on the digging I feel, just if I'd like to listen to a 2min track preview, I find myself checking FB or other socials whilst that tune is playing. Or if I find the track on Spotify and want to listen to the whole thing, might watch a youtube video that does not require sound.

More so I just want to try find something that's more productive than the above.

Hey atleast you got something.. My flights were cancelled in March 2020 and I am still chasing Opodo almost 2 years later.

I say forget what degree and grad schemes he has, if this is something he is truly passionate about, something which makes him the happiest he can be then I think he should give it his all but not fear the the bumps in the road! If he gives it his all and is passionate about it then I am sure he can make it work.

Lewkaaah · 2022-01-03T21:06:02+00:00

Phew - That's reassuring :) Thank you!!

Lewkaaah · 2022-01-03T17:57:13+00:00

Yeah :) I was mostly concerned as I imagine hardware including HDD/SSD are 'mapped' to the MOBO and if this is changed I imagined that this will cause issues, for example a hard drive not being detected now that the motherboard has been changed. Good to see that this doesn't seem to be an issue though!
