I have edited a lot of water damaged photos. I scan them or shoot them with the camera. I edit and remove the water marks, the rips etc, I do not change background etc. where I live a lot of people lost a lot of photos to flooding . I do my best to create restored photos for them.

IF you are happy with your cameras and you are happy with the results printed at 16x20. Then you may be disappointed going to mirrorless. Plus the longer you wait the more features will be added to your new camera. They are coming out with new things almost weekly.
as for me I loved my camera , I knew every button, knob menu , I couild change settings with my eyes closed.
but the quality of my pictures just wasn't up to the quality of the new cameras. I could afford it so I sprung for a new camera.
a year later I am still not comfortable with all the menus and buttons etc.

thats cause she is young and our slump is cause we are OLD

RUN, Run fast, RUG long, Run hard . UHH is filled with horror storied from that place

I just wish they would ship my lens.... Ive been waiting 5 months.

I have a V7 the first year stabilization was added. still works ok for me.

Im finding myself shooting with a Tri pod more and more. I hate lugging that thing around but my old Photography teacher would be proud.

I always worry about using an aftermarket battery and putting it in a $6,000.00 camera to save 50 bucks. but yes I have done it with some cameras. I love the idea that it charges with USB. thats a great idea, my question is, how long did it take to charge.

My summer home is in Lehigh Valley, well actually panther Valley which is pretty much the sameplace.
I have taken a prime into the woods and shot hundreds of photos of streams and waterfalls. its aa great experiment.

I know you hate this section, you have bad mouthed it for a long time. but you just cant seem to stay away.
I'll bet you looked at all 53 images huh?
there are certain people here who's images I just dont care for. Guess what I just pass right by, I dont bad mouth them , or leave rude comments. sad very sad

I pick Courtney too. nice set, I mean the pictures, nice set pf pictures..

I just recently added a lensatic field compass and one of those thermal blanket things ,suppose to keep you warm at night or safe from a fire. also added a BIG Rambo knife containing fishing string n hook, compass, fire starter, and tree saw inside. also water purification tablets.
Ive been getting deeper and deeper in the woods and swamps.
gotta be safe. I have a handheld gps but havent added that yet.

I'll bet it was a legal reason, someone took a raw pic, did major editing and it came back to bite them in the butt.

id start with duct tape get as much on the surface as you can and leave a loop to pull it out,. next Id try using a thin knife to get along the edge to pull it out. I wouldnt try cutting it out, probably a lithium battery and its swollen. The problem with cutting it out, you may short between the two poles and it will catch fire. I race RC boats our batteries are 22 volts. Ive seen them burn. even sticking the boat under water at the lake, when you took it out it started burning again.

the only thing I know about Canon is they announced they are going to release a new DSLR and thats the last one. They are going to mirrorless.
i dont think Id buy their last camera , I think I would go with the mirrorless.
but thats how I think and im sure a lot of you too.
