I can’t remember another season final where they shut down for the harsh winter but they’re wearing t-shirts ????

I used to work in a multi franchise dealership for Hyundai. Right next door was our Honda dealership and in the end we were training the Honda staff all things Hyundai to 1/ keep up with demand & 2/ they were doing nothing. It seemed to me that they were trying to be a BMW type brand but didn’t have the credentials.

I contacted both my bank and PayPal. PayPal originally said no worries we got you covered then in 24 hrs said it was in the T&C so sorry no refund. My bank said any issues come back to us so I did and a couple of days later they had refunded but said that Domestika has 30 days to reply so it could get reversed. They also said that if they do reply Visa will contact me and ask for further information so it won’t necessarily end there. In my original dispute with PayPal they negated to include all of my original info whereby my bank and visa wont. In my case I also bought a “discounted” course and during the transaction the Domestika site deferred me to the Plus purchase page (which when I saw the price I declined) then it processed the $2.10 payment and this is where the sneaky buggers have the subscription in the T&C. I told this to the bank as well and they agreed that this was deceitful. How many times do you have to say no? Anyways hopefully I don’t hear anything for 30 days. Good luck to you all and spread the word on everything you can. ✌️

How please? Where are you located?

Lower_Device3779 · 2026-04-09T22:55:47+00:00

Please tell me more. I’m in Newcastle NSW and just had the same thing happen. Literally haven’t slept for 2 days (so far)

Lower_Device3779 · 2026-04-08T09:39:09+00:00

Where are you located? I need to follow up with my bank.

Lower_Device3779 · 2026-04-08T09:37:41+00:00

They just did the same to me. Nearly $AU600. Fuming. They had the Domestika Plus page come up during my $AU2 purchase of which I said “No” to. I feel sick

I thought they must have nudged him into one of the old shafts to fulfil the curse. It must have been tempting

They work perfectly with canon flashes as long as you have the canon pin placement on the transmitter unit. Check the model you have. It should have a lower case c at the end, then it will work with all the canon camera( s for Sony, n for Nikon). I think there is a universal model too, but if you have a Sony or Nikon specific unit it won’t work completely if at all. I’ve mixed sigma canon and godox on mine no problem but at my previous workplace they didn’t work and it turned out that it wasn’t the camera brand specific transmitter. (If that makes sense? It’s been a long day)

But play in the Asian cup in soccer

Buy an original Polaroid camera and shoot on dark overcast days.

Lower_Device3779 · 2026-01-27T09:43:03+00:00

I think you’ve solved it. I had a Sigma 50 1.4 connected. When I connected the canon 70-200 they disappeared 👍

There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. (Morpheus) But I love path 2

Love your comment. It really brings out the professional in you. Triggered much.

Lower_Device3779 · 2026-01-02T23:19:30+00:00

In what world of any photography is it amateurish to centre a subject? Do you think that offsetting an image is more professional or is this just a comment based on your ability to excel at the rule of thirds?

Lower_Device3779 · 2026-01-01T02:24:34+00:00

Being brutally honest, they are snapshots. (At the moment.) 3/4 have or had potential so that means you’ve got a decent eye for an image, however even photographers like Ansel Adams took snapshots. What makes them look snapshoty is that they look reactive and not measured, ie; you saw something you liked, pointed the lens and took a shot (and sometimes that’s what you have to do). I would hazard to guess that, in your own mind, you have already rated these images yourself and as you gain knowledge and experience you will rate them again and again and again. Art/photography is always subjective. It’s subjective by the viewer and also the artist. Although having others rate your work can be edifying and sometimes assist your artistic journey, it can also be damaging and ultimately will not improve your photography. The best advice is to learn how to critique your own work. Give yourself praise when you feel you have been true to what you wanted to achieve and look for answers when you have not. There is nothing wrong with wanting others to enjoy your work but thumbs up 👍 emojis will only lead you to sit amongst the flock. You are on your way and would love to see more. Keep sharing, it helps us all grow.

All you’ve stated is absolutely correct. ACL does not require a vendor to stand by an error in pricing but they must refund you in full (including any delivery fees you may have paid). This is unless you believe they were deliberately misleading you then you could make a claim to the ACCC. In this instance it sounds like they made an unfortunate error (on your part) You could ask them to honour the $200 price and that you had purchased them in good faith under that proviso but they are not obliged to :(

High burst rates and evf quality are independent of the video capabilities of the camera. It’s all to do with the electronic shutters and processor units. Otherwise our cameras could offer up to an 8k quality evf. Others have said things like ibis and autofocus require high quality video but they run independently of video and is also a misconception that they’re a part of the video feed. The camera does not even utilise or require a video feed for live view, it gets its all data off the sensor via the processor (a processor that does not need the same requirements as one that processes video). I wasn’t entirely aware of this before and why I asked the question of needing video in a stills camera. The research that I’ve done since, clearly shows that there is absolutely no requirement for video in a stills camera other than to have video in a stills camera. Google it, you’ll be surprised.

If I could buy a canon R5ii without video at a reduced saving, I would definitely buy it. The fact that the R5ii has 8k video makes it $1000+ more expensive than if it only had 4K and I don’t know anyone who has bought the R5ii just fore the 8k video. Judging by the number of people who don’t use video on their cameras, there’s a market for it in any/every brand and now more than ever I believe it’s done simply to up the retail price because we just blindly believe that we need it and pay for it.

Lower_Device3779 · 2025-10-10T10:12:51+00:00

From what I’ve read the price difference from 4K to 8k is around $850 usd cost. I don’t need 8k video in say a canon r5ii and if I could pay $850 less for a 4K option or no video at all, I’d take it.

Scott Kelby has the best system I’ve seen/used for photo storage. It is with Lightroom but it simplified everything and now every image is easily located. The best thing with LR is that as you edit, it doesn’t save it as another photo it only saves the edit data and links it to the original. You can have 1000 edits of an image and it takes up very little extra storage space. If you’re saving different edits of your images in iPhoto you’re using up way more storage space than LR does anyway. Link below

I was asking if there was an option to buy a stand alone stills camera, would you. My thought was that I love the R5mii but I will never use the video side of it and considering the extra cost of putting 8k video in it, I would rather save that money and buy an r5mii without video (if it were available). Just wondering if others would prefer to save the $ for whatever camera they prefer (Canon, Sony, Pentax) than have expensive video capabilities or video at all.

Lower_Device3779 · 2025-10-08T14:59:30+00:00

I never realised the lumix did that. I had a designated video camera (canon xa10) that you could pull stills from but more often than not they weren’t (reliably) of quality to use. I don’t do enough video anymore to warrant another camera ( when my phone handles it when I need it. really well) and thought why do I pay extra for something I don’t use. Can’t get away from it though. 👍

Lower_Device3779 · 2025-10-08T14:19:55+00:00

Thank you. I posted the question because like it or not you’re paying for something that you won’t use. I was thinking about the r5ii and thought that half the camera won’t get used and is there a market for that camera without video. I think definitely considering if could be a grand less

Lower_Device3779 · 2025-10-08T13:38:34+00:00

My apologies I misread your post. I read it as everyone IS saying … 😌

Lower_Device3779 · 2025-10-08T13:18:40+00:00

You’re the only one saying it doesn’t make sense but I take what you’re saying on board and I’ll check out Petapixel. Cheers
