My word Rob!
You will now need a unipod!

I do indeed but I promised I wouldn't buy too many bits and pieces so the family still have things to buy me for my birthday next month... but I need my present from me to me now so I can practice before VapeCon. Anthea bought that argument as to why I need it now... and it is partially true!

And a bigger carry bag Compact it is not


With that lens you could shoot the whole Vapecon2016 from the Eufees off ramp

100% @zadiac! I most certainly will do that as soon as I get operational!

The one U looking at will you be using it for anything else ? abit big ?

What about something like a GoPro
http://shop.gopro.com/EMEA/cameras/hero4-black/CHDHX-401-EU.html
Then you can also take it fishing, sealed box so it cant get wet
use it in your car as a car cam
and U can put it on yourself and walk round with it recording etc
lots more option IMHO ?

anyway just a thought

I bought a GoPro (the Mickey Mouse one) and it's useless for what I wanted it for... but fine for fishing... I have been researching big time and have chatted to one or two of my photography boffin mates and the camera shop peeps... and I'm 100% sure the Canon EOS 80D is spot on for my needs.

I also found out the camera is water resistant and shooting pics in the rain is no issue either... but not sure I will even attempt that... but I certainly want to take the camera when I go fishing... get some wildlife and landscape shots from the boat!

Yes this is not a small camera but the quality of the shots and video outweighs the size issue... off to go buy it because the shop in Kloof has stock as well!

Don't have my camera yet but I just got an awesome deal on a 400mm lens from a mate!

There you go @Silver ! Our initial posts were not far off after all

IIRC @Rob Fisher you are already a PRO, from your time in front of the camera on ESA

Just a quick note on the cameras. The Panasonic is a 4K (UHD) camera and the Cannon is a 1080P (HD) camera. The resolution on the Panasonic is 4 time greater. If that does not make any sense to you... join the club. For your use i.e. making YouTube videos and taking really really really nice pictures the EOS 80D is a winner. Did I say "really" enough

@Rob Fisher That specific on is not compatible with your camera

I think this hobby is an even bigger cash hole than vaping!

Camera - Check
Lens - Check
Zoom Lens - Will tick that box in about an hour or two when I pick it up.
Remote Control - Check
Gorilla Stand - Check (But the camera is too heavy for it. )
External Mic - Check
Camera Bag - Check (It doesn't even come with one )
Spare Battery - Check (A dash more expensive than an 18650 )

Still to try sneak into the house...
Monopod
Tripod
Power Cord
More Lenses
Padded Camera Haversack
Filters
And most important lapel Mics

 

[Silver]

Oh no @Rob Fisher - this looks like something....

I am just worried the camera budget will start eating into the vape budget
Then I am worried that you will be spending time on camera forums!!!

On the plus side i suppose the fishing budget with boats and all makes the camera thing look quite tame

Lastest Edition...

My goodness @Rob Fisher - you could probably take pictures of VapeCon from HillCrest with that!
Looks like a telescope.
But it looks awesome nonetheless!
