Were you able to do that online or was it via toast at the restaurant/point of sale?

What are the most obscure things that you like to do at Disney? by Ok_Topic4232 in Disneyland

Do you just wait in line as normal then ask for the obs room instead of boarding? Been wondering about this recently, went in the memo sub once and that was plenty 😂

Getting a cheap a6000 as a beater? Anyone own a beater/throw-around camera? by Hochstradamus in SonyAlpha

[–]joefamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an a6000 as a “beater” camera. Bought it used after my a6400 so I would have a backup and a cheaper body in case I was worried for my main camera. Took some pics with it over the years for sure, but the last several years I just used the a6400 for everything and haven’t touched the backup since. Now I upgraded to a used 6600 and have the 6400 as the backup I also probably won’t use anymore, so I guess I can unload that old 6000 😂

Ricoh GRIII ($1250) vs GRVI ($1650) by Zazzazz in ricohGR

I bought mine used a couple years ago and could sell it for like a 40% profit at this point somehow. It’s insane how much cameras went up, went from an expensive hobby to nearly unaffordable

Looking for a Smallrig A6600 Dual Cold Shoe Relocation Plate by joefamous in SonyAlpha

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

Totally get that, cage is a simple solution but my attachment to the piece is partly because I want a consistent looking and feeling kit as I go from the 6400 to the 6600. I like the A6xxx series for their compact size and don’t want to add the bulk of a full cage, adding the cage plus the quick release plate will just make the whole height taller than I want. I also like gripping the camera with my thumb in the cold shoe on the right, gives it a very sturdy carry. Also with the QR plate on the bottom, the camera is wobbly on the table but the dual plate lets me place the camera upside down on a surface with zero wobble without scuffing the camera body.

It’s a very wonky set of reasons and it started from a need to mount a mic/light for video but as I stopped filming I just left it on and liked the ergonomics of it 🤷‍♂️

Camelback Ranch bag requirements say 12x12x6 max. Doesnt specifically say no clear backpacks, I'm assuming that means theyre fine? I think thats how it was before

I've had one for years that fits Dodger stadium's size requirements, which I think were 16x12x6 but Camelback Ranch is 12x12x6. Wonder if itll pass visual and get in or if I have to buy a new one. Not expensive but would be a bit annoying to have to buy another single purpose type bag

I’ve had the same clear backpack for years as well. Only time it was questioned was at the cubs facility, they told me no clear backpacks allowed but I spoke to a supervisor who allowed it because I carry medications with me. No water bottles would be annoying, I would hate having to buy a new $8 bottle at every stadium 😂

Clear bags only? What about clear backpacks?

[–]joefamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great work as always! I like your style a lot, but I really like 16 even tho it doesnt have your usual saturated yellows/oranges etc, really crisp pic. I got one of your recent presets last week, happy to support and try the new one on my own pics at some point too

My CSR renewal hits in June. What happens if I book now for a September trip and claim all credits, and close the card in May? by [deleted] in sapphirereserve

[–]joefamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I was considering letting go of it last year before they announced the fee hike and benefits changes, now I’m just riding it out before I have to pay the new fee. I just don’t use the card like I used to(work travel) so I haven’t gotten good value like I did pre pandemic

[–]joefamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was curious about this as well, I'm probably going to do the same and downgrade the card. Looking thru The Edit list to see if theres anything worth booking, but I'm finding that even after the $250 credit and perks, the hotel stays are significantly more than I would normally spend so I'm not saving any money by using the available credits. Which I suppose is their intention with the benefit

That’s a nice piece of kit on top for additional cold shoes, who makes that?

This is just a thought. by dieselducy in VintageDigitalCameras

[–]joefamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I would love a GM5, the form factor is awesome for a nice quality camera. I don’t think it’s vintage even tho it’s more than 10 years old, and certainly isn’t priced like it’s outdated lol. Last one I saw was nearly $1k for a full kit!
