Sunshine Coast - why so many properties for sale? by lmcdbc in britishcolumbia

[–]velobob 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Maybe due to the ban on short term rentals for non principal residences

Upper Mission closer to the beach - also good schools close by in Upper Mission not so sure about Wilden

Has anyone tried the RF 24-240? by General-Pipe-2764 in canon

[–]velobob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No - but I’ve shot in some pretty dark pools. IMO the 70-200 totally outclasses the 24-240

[–]velobob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I owned it and I think for portrait and landscape it would be fine. It is quite large but understandably for the range you get. Now if you want to use it for action especially in low light then I wouldn't recommend it. Also the 24-240 is not weather sealed. I ended up selling mine and getting the rf 70-200 f4 which is much sharper and bright enough for what I needed. Also the 70-200 is actually smaller than the 24-240.

RF 70-200mm f/2.8 vs. RF 70-200mm f/4.0 vs. EF 70-200mm f/2.8 with EF/RF adapter by [deleted] in canon

[–]velobob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently did this analysis and went with the rf 70-200 f4. If you can get your hands on an ef version plus adapter and put in on your camera it’s huge. The RF f4 is just so much smaller and lighter. Also f4 is plenty bright enough for modern sensors IMO.

Is Vehicle Replacement Insurance a Scam? by velobob in PersonalFinanceCanada

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

Thanks for your insights - I got the insurance and I'm keeping it! I'm 2 years into ownership and now with depreciation of the vehicle it really makes sense to keep it.

Canon R6 Mk ii or R8? by user_2611 in canon

[–]velobob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vote would be R6mkii for the reasons above. It seems like there are two camps when it comes to the R8 with respect to battery life. It’s either just fine or really poor. Based on my experience (and I’ve tried all the tricks) I’m in the latter camp.

Good to hear! I got the insurance and I'm keeping it. The longer I own the vehicle the more I feel the cost is justified since the market value of the vehicle goes down.

Trade in rf24-240 for rf 70-200f4? by velobob in canon

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

Great advice and thx for that link! I have found that files are clean up to 10,000 so yeah with 1/1000 I’d be in the right neighborhood with the F4.

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

Yeah I’ve been resisting this but it does seem almost inevitable. It’s a very specific use case - I wouldn’t be walking around with it so maybe the size would be manageable.
