I'll state my case a bit differently. Rules don't do much if you want to be creative. In any case for every good photo using rules of thirds you can find equally good photos that don't, for every one that avoids putting an object of interest dead in the middle there are many great photos that do just that. You do have to start somewhere as a beginner and some of these rules will let you get a toehold but the sooner you think outside the box and truely engage with your subject and the enviroment the better for you to unleash your creativity. Just look at images by the likes of Alister Benn, Guy Tal, Alex Noriega, Ian Plant and Hans Strand to name a few. Heck go look at Eliot Porter! Don't fret rules, get out there and engage!
I have had one for two years and love it. Not a single issue or complaint. Very well designed and made.

Is that something recent? The fellow who told me this was a rep for Zeiss and Sony and seemed to know his stuff but it was 3 years ago.
I was told about this once, it's not a hole, it does fragment the memory. Meaning it leaves a space the size of the image you deleted and it may not get filled by another photo not that size. Just means your card has slightly less capacity for that shoot. It all goes back to normal when you format the card. Just not a big deal unless for some reason you have to fill every bit of space on a card.
Point and Shoot Nature Photography by Stephen Ingraham. He shoots with that camera and has lots of info including specific custom settings.
Similar problem, nozzle was clogged! Got a cleaning kit which was a little syringe, some fluid, hose etc. and it loosened the clogged ink and flushed it out fine.
I like aluminum prints, I'm also a fan of Aluminyze one on the way right now. Good service and quality. I think you can snag 40% of first order.
Hundreds of threads like this on this platform and others. It's just plain up to you and what you are looking to do and what you like. Personally I think with todays advancements the mirror is just isn't needed as I love having live view in the viewfinder. If you don't have a clear reason to go one way or the other it probably isn't critical and you should go with price or what your buddy has.
Is it the camera mounted to the tripod if so it may be too much to support the lens. Try it with a mount on the lens itself.
Go to "travel" camera for me is my sony rx10iii! If it had a bigger sensor and a bulb setting I'd get rid of all the rest.
Architecture is tough, my best advice is treat it like a landscape. Think of foregrounds, leading lines etc. etc. Just keeping those things in mind will help!
For me the advantage is having live view in the viewfinder! That changes everything!
Sandisk 2 tb ssb is $250. Have had one for a year and a half and they are great. Fast and tiny.
