I used to carry around a X100s for that reason.

I just don't like carrying around things, though.

. Unexpected photo opportunities will arise more often when you're out of the car so it won't do much good to leave the camera in the car. Also, watch where you're going and please don't photo and drive

I mean in the trunk.

So if there are cool planes at the airport I can zip by after work. I do not intend to use it while driving!

I have a question I have been wondering about for a while. What kind of transfer speeds do you get when downloading photos from your camera's card to your computer? I often have several dozen gigs of pictures after an outing. Usually when I start downloading, it progresses pretty quickly at the start, around 150mbs or so. Then after a short while, it will go down to maybe 30-50mbs, sometimes slower, and stay there for the most part. Is this typical?

When I am downloading photos to my computer I always make sure that both my virus scan and my Crashplan backup software are both paused. I also have most programs closed.

I might import 10-75gb without any slowdown.

That's pretty cheap.

A Phase One 60mp back+body used to be at $80k

I'm not under the illusion that $10k is the top of the price range for cameras. I was just surprised at this one.
Not sure what I was expecting though

Ugh. I would buy this but now they have two of those annoying Q buttons that are placed in the worst spot ever.

I bought one a few months ago and my only regret is I didn't do it sooner.

I am eager to hear and see the a review when you get your hands on it.

Distinguished by its extremely high resolution, but also sporting a versatile feature-set, the FUJIFILM GFX 100 is a medium format mirrorless camera designed for a true multimedia workflow. Excelling with still photography applications, the 102MP 43.8 x 32.9mm BSI CMOS sensor achieves impressive image quality with high sensitivity to a native ISO 12800. Making use of the X-Processor 4, the GFX 100 is capable of outputting 16-bit raw imagery with a broad dynamic range and low noise levels. Additionally, the BSI design of the sensor contributes to high clarity and accurate color rendering when working in a variety of lighting conditions. Also, making use of the full width of the sensor, DCI and UHD 4K video recording is possible at 4:2:0 10-bit internally or 4:2:2 10-bit via HDMI, and an F-log gamma setting can also be used for more advanced color grading during post-production. Additionally, the sensor's design also incorporates an expansive 3.76m-point phase-detection autofocus system for quick, precise AF performance and subject tracking for both stills and video.

Rented a Sony FE 70-200, 2.8 to shoot this week but especially my youngest grandgirl's K graduation. I liked this shot of her class in a line with her on the end. The body is the a7RIII.

Done

If only we could just upload photos directly to Texags I'd have done it sooner.

This place is beautiful. Have another week (without a wedding to help with or officiate). What would make my landscapes better?? Rokinon 12mm manual lens on a Sony a6000.

I love landscape photos with a really close foreground element. think it makes them much more interesting and helps draw you further into thr picture. hyperfocal distance.

Ok. Just had the Sony version of the nifty fifty while walking around today. Mostly was in Belfast and was getting graffiti stuff, but thought this background for a park was too cool. Tried to focus on something close while getting the cliffs. Couldn't quite get Scotland in the pic.
