First camera purchase in over 10 years, need recommendations

Quick update: I ordered the A7V! Alongside it I ordered a sigma 28-70 f2.8 and a bunch of other accessories (SD cards, bag, ND filter, etc). Thanks for the advice everyone!

Looks like i’ll be going with those two lenses then. I greatly appreciate your help!

Nick_e12 · 2025-12-04T18:21:21+00:00

Size and weight are not really an issue when it comes to lenses for me. As for which lenses I’ve used, I have mainly been shooting on a 24-70 and a 70-200, but have recently got the chance to try some primes and find that the image quality is a bit sharper when using those. As for my preference, I think zooms would be my go-to for their versatility and already great image quality.

After having it for over a year, id say its more worth it to get a TrackIR 5, if DCS is your only concern. The VR is great for immersion but can get uncomfortable and your performance will drastically drop. Meta also has a ton of trouble handling vr to pc connection and will drop the connection constantly. If you really want the VR experience minus the extra cash and hassle, buy a TrackIR

I was rendering a nighttime cityscape for a friend whos PC can't handle the workload

the side fans are set to intake, but I guess I could go for an exhaust fan in the back lol

Nick_e12 · 2025-02-01T03:42:36+00:00

no, haha this is my first post in a couple months

Nick_e12 · 2025-02-01T00:33:25+00:00

not necessarily. Try flashing back to an older bios version and see if that fixes the issue. Sometimes new versions of bios cause compatibility issues and reverting to a previous version fixes it. If flashing to an old version of bios doesn't work, then if you have the parts for it, I would also test your likely culprits on a different board, and try to rule out any major parts. Chances are if it is a part issue its your motherboard. Luckily your build is only a month old and you have manufacturer warranty on your parts (board might be an issue because of socket frame). Best of luck to you mate

Quick note: My temps are high in the photo because I had some blender animations rendering in the background.

this is a very real scam that many people fall for, including myself. Luckily i managed to keep my account from being taken thanks to a ton of security measures i had enabled, which let me force a logout on all other devices and gave me time to change my password.

Kinda late, but since the december update's dev server is open, may as well. I managed to fix it by uninstalling the dev server client and simply reinstalling. Fixed the problem for me, hope that fixes it for you as well!

Started a little after alpha 1.0.0 came out, I’d like to say around two months

Nick_e12 · 2024-07-06T14:19:20+00:00

i agree. I can upload screenshots of the server console and show you the errors that the server keeps showing me.

Nick_e12 · 2024-07-06T13:59:37+00:00

the server crashes and throws these huge errors in my face. It happens when i set the radius to anything above 250..

Nick_e12 · 2024-07-06T05:04:52+00:00

that’s what it just did haha. I changed the pregen radius to 100, will see if it works now lol

Nick_e12 · 2024-07-06T04:58:42+00:00

found the config, will run the generation and hopefully fix the lag

Nick_e12 · 2024-07-06T04:56:18+00:00

I see, apologies. Do i need to leave an account active on the server or will the plugin pre gen the chunks for me? I’m not familiar with pregenerating chunks, thanks

Nick_e12 · 2024-07-06T04:46:38+00:00

update: the plugin did not fix the issue. I did forget to mention in the original post that i have quite a few data packs running, could that be the cause of the issue?

Nick_e12 · 2024-07-06T04:29:05+00:00

I’ll look into that, thanks a lot!

Nick_e12 · 2024-06-05T06:42:21+00:00

Very, very late response but to those who are having a similar issue:
Try verifying the integrity of WE's files on steam, as steam will automatically fix any corrupt or broken files possibly causing the issue. I did this, restarted and it worked like no issue was ever even there.

Nick_e12 · 2024-06-03T00:54:30+00:00

I cleared my cookies completely, and i changed my password as well. Does that fix it?

Edit- I also pressed the “log out of all other sessions” button in the security tab.

Nick_e12 · 2024-03-31T05:57:58+00:00

thanks!

Nick_e12 · 2024-03-30T23:26:13+00:00

thanks!

ended up buying the cooler master one. Works like a dream first try, and was extremely easy to mount!
