    My First Pre-Order Ever

    Ok, I think I will have fun with it, but I'm not sure what I was expecting from it anymore. I can see the handheld mode being very handy for some of my shooting of my kids sports events. And both time lapse and long exposure look use full. Can't say I'm disappointed. But I'm left we a sense...

    My First Pre-Order Ever

    As you well know my outdoor pallete is white and all the exciting shades of brown for the next 5 months, so we'll see what i come up with. With my camera being one of the earliest supported (Nikon D5300) I hope to skip some of the issues. Really late birthday present to me.

    My First Pre-Order Ever

    I had forgotten about both this thread and the order. Happened to pop by here and it reminded me of my order. Apparently gmail has been filing the under promotions. Mine shipped on the 6th of November, spent 6 days chilling in Hong Kong, 12 days on the love boat and finally a meandering 3...

    My First Pre-Order Ever

    I'm not sure I'd hold issues with Sony cameras against them too much. I wrote a much longer response but my post got eaten at submit. The tl/dr version is that Sony does some very anti-customer things and very anti third party things. Originally in hardware, but now in software too. I won't...

    My First Pre-Order Ever

    Depending on whether A) you actually get one or B) it really works, I'd consider this a pretty typical and better that 60% positive Kickstarter. Extremely rarely do tech starters deliver anything like on time. I think like 40% of tech starters deliver anything. The only reason I ordered was...

    My First Pre-Order Ever

    The healthcare itself is generally just fine, Our views on cost, payment and medical debt are, putting mildly, pants on head stupid. But if you are a billionaire or served in congress, the care can be amazing.

    200"... yeah, fsck lake effect in its left ear. Our thing of the last few years has been 6-9 inches of solid rain followed by a sharp cold snap. So we get the wet heavy stuff that turns into a slurry 3 inches deep on the roads which then freeze into a skating rink beyond the effect of salt...

    My First Pre-Order Ever

    Jokes still sort of on you. I'm in the Minneapolis area. Like 1/6 of the Canadian population lives south of me. And I'm dreading the accursed solid rain * which is soon to be here. Been a cold fall here. *(That's my coping mechanism for dealing with the white crap. Stop...

    Hey, I'm still waiting on cake and all the punch is gone.

    My First Pre-Order Ever

    I haven't found any regular user reviews which is a little disconcerting. As an aside, the amount of teeth gnashing about this "ending photography" is amusing. This device will never know when to shoot and it will not know how to compose a image, but yeah fear the AI.

    Sun Going Down I my Little Village

    It would be more accurate that you have to turn it on, and it means something entirely different on the Anafi. I have the geofencing turned on. As a result it will only rise to 140 feet AGL from liftoff and within a circle with a radius of 550 feet centered on me. It's geofencing is a pilot...

    Autels Promotions

    Not saying you aren't potentially correct but as a developer I NEVER start off an auto incremented user visible numbering system at anything close to 1. Currently I start them out at 1250. Experience has shown me that users don't trust auto-numbered systems with a low running increment value...
