use manual focus in night photography

Canon is coming up with some very good and affordable mirrorless cameras

Full frame cameras have lot of admirers due to its ability to record less noise and the bokeh it creates. APS-C cameras are best for daily rugged use. EFS lenses are cheaper than EF and lighter too. Regarding crop factor and max, min aperture you can multiply the crop factor and get the equivalent. Overall if you are shooting in a controlled environment full frames are better but APS -C's are best for daily use as they are lighter by more than 200 to 300 gms from the camera body itself. Best is to keep both format cameras in your camera bag. You never know what you will get to shoot and when.

Usually i use EOS 700D, the reason being my lenses are mostly EFS and ease of use of menus plus its lighter than the 5D Classic. I use the 5D occasionally when I want to take portraits as I have the 50mm 1.8 prime & the 75 - 300mm telephoto EF lenses as the bokeh in the full frame is more pronounced. The 5D Mark 1 is good but 700D is equally good. Bought the classic as a second hand because of curiosity for the full frame. I have a 500D also which now has to go for repair, the pictures this camera took was very good in fact slightly better than the 700D as pixel size is more in the sensor but resolution is less. The write speed of the classic is comparatively slower than the 700D and the CF card for the classic is more expensive than the SDXC cards. Minus point of CF cards is they have to be handled very carefully when taking it out and reinserting to the camera due to the number of pins they have or else any wrong action will render your card reader useless and your camera back for the adapter replacement which is expensive. The color science of canon digital cameras right from their inception till now is commendable as is the best in the industry. Ease of menu I suppose no other manufacturer can match.

Thank you @Jeepie. In case you need help in support I'm here. 🖐️

please waitlist me for my 2nd drive.

Hi @Frederic I have to remove myself as I got to drop and pick my daughter during these hours as she is a clinic manager and has to work these hours during night time for EID holidays

AL BADAYER DESERT

We stayed back a little longer to capture the sunset

It was @Islam Soliman leading and @Frederic 2nd lead yesterday. The drive was fun with more technical challenges than racing across the desert. Today also the recipe will be same or has @Islam Soliman & @Frederic cooked up something more spicy and tangy? Will let you know today evening after the drive.

Amazing drive @Islam Soliman. Enjoyed all the way. Looking forward to drive with you again.
