  1. Give this one a chance.
  2. Hey man, I have some suggestions for you but I am hoping some others with chime in. All of these (except one) are kits, so the body and one lens. Typically, kit lenses aren't the top of the line but a good general zoom lens. It gives you an opportunity to go out and get used to the camera and see what you like to shoot then later you can always get some better lenses. For the most part Canon, Nikon, and Sony will have fairly comparable quality as well as advanced auto focus features. While you can definitely shoot jpgs and only do light editing, most people shoot RAW and edit in photoshop or other software. I use Affinity Photo now because I am tired of everything being a damn subscription service. But the Fuji camera has film simulation presets as well as the ability to create "recipes" for in camera editing of the jpg and produce some really great straight out of camera images. However, Fuji cameras are not known for great auto focus. Then there is the Ricoh. I threw that in just for something different. Similar to Fuji, people like to shoot Ricoh because of the jpg quality straight out of camera, as well as its compact design. It has a fixed lens, so a bit more challenging for some folks as it requires to zoom with your feet. It is not weather sealed so there is always a chance of getting dust or moisture inside the camera and on the sensor. Finally, the Canon EOS R. This was my first miorrorless camera and shot with it for a few years with this 24mm-105mm kit lens. In my opinion this is a great camera, but it isn't their latest. A lot of the photos I posted here in 2023-2024 were shot with this camera. Also, you can get some great older cameras, DSLRs and first gen mirrorless cameras, used for fairly cheap. Can check sites like KEH and MPB.

This hobby can get expensive as hell. I don't want my wife to kill me in my sleep, so I usually buy 3rd party lenses. Sony is probably the best about letting 3rd party companies like Sigma and Tamron to make lenses for their cameras. Canon is the opposite.
  3. Right on. I’m all over the place as well (as you can see). I am sure someone will chime in before I can give a more detailed response (walking into jiu jitsu now). But for that variety of subjects, a dslr or mirrorless and a few lenses would be good. Although it might need to be used or at least some used glass. I’ll jump back on later tonight.
  4. I think we need a bit more information to help get you in the right direction. What is your budget? What do you think you will primarily shoot? Birds? Street? Landscapes? That can determine what kinds of lenses you may need as well as if a very good autofocus system would be helpful.
  5. The comments are great. And good job, hopefully there is follow through. https://www.threads.com/@vivekchaudhary2225/post/DUEIPMnkuOm?xmt=AQF0G41OxMtJY9qGoaPCJe_mfZTKyp5pGh3qVmG9GJIpEz9AWl0eqBYhDzp7NdFcj4jrUtY&slof=1
  6. Also… It might be time Latinos have a discussion about our internalized racism. The US government is using us to imprison, unlawfully detain, kill and deport people. I’m sure many of the Latinos that chose to pursue a career in the border patrol did not think they would be used in this capacity in Minneapolis. For many in the borderlands, where the US government has abandoned Americans to poverty and stripped away education and other services, a job with the border patrol seems like the best option. However, “good” cops are also complicit when they look the other way or are “just following orders”. Somos todos latinos e americanos. Somos mais fortes quando estamos unidos. Todos somos latinos y americanos. Somos más fuertes cuando estamos unidos.
  7. Hard to keep up with three threads on this subject. If this site wasn’t so aggyfied, we could quit this charade of the cloak room and just combine those threads into the DT. Anyways…sorry if already posted, but holy shit, look at these fucking dipshits. https://www.threads.com/@apnews/post/DUCOxD7jtGC?xmt=AQF02XDHzPekXjZiUXCrpQtj4Cp1V2GH6a2CgzAmPxjfvpxqbVwqmAQQENwA3eyIC5287Lkw&slof=1

  11. I don’t follow Red Bull, but this was in my feed. I just knew the comments would come through.

  13. Sorry if already posted. Too many threads on the same topic. bovino to “retire”? The AtlanticGreg Bovino Loses His JobThe Border Patrol chief has been ousted from his role as “commander at large,” and will return to El Centro.
  14. They don’t. It’s all cosplay and living out their fantasies of being a combat hero. They are losers, pussies and complete jokes.
  15. I’m guessing one of y’all has a better understanding or maybe first hand knowledge…but why aren’t “white hat” hackers not wreaking havoc for ICE, DHS and this admin in general?
