The difference between the Canon R1, R5 Mark II and the R3

Jeff Cable, a renowned photographer, had the fortunate opportunity to test the Canon R1 during the Olympic Games. He recently shared an article comparing these three cameras: R1, R3 and R5 Mark II . It’s a must-read for photography enthusiasts. 

 

Here is his conclusion: 

All of these cameras are excellent bodies for any photographer, capturing images at fast burst rates and with excellent focus abilities, but as you can see, they each have their pluses and minuses.

Nikon P1100

Lately, I’ve noticed at least two birders in my area using either a Nikon P1000 or the P1100. With the release of the P1100, the price of the P1000 dropped, and undoubtedly, some birders seized the opportunity to purchase this camera with its exceptional zoom capabilities.


The image quality of either the P1000 or the P1100 won’t win any photography contests, but it will be sufficient for this task.

During last weekend

Last weekend, I took some nice pictures—like this one of an alligator swimming like a torpedo, breaking through the surface of the water.

Alligators have become one of my favorite animals to photograph. It's captivating to think that they’ve been around longer than us. Their skin—especially in the younger ones—is full of rich colors and texture.

Florida is at its greenest right now. The vegetation in some places reminds me of what you’d find in the rainforests of Costa Rica or the Amazon.

The photo above is composed of about 10 images stitched together using LrC. Taking it on a cloudy day helped bring out the different shades of green.

Condensation!

 I hate condensation! In my case, I bought an USB lens heater and I put that on my lens few minutes before I take my lens outside. That fixes the issue for me. But here is something that will not cost you a penny.
