Awesome!!! I am glad that it worked out well.

I am curious as to why you say in jpeg only. Would not RAW allow for better post processing? Is that dependent on the camera burst speed? I get plenty of burst speed on my T7i shooting both RAW and jpeg at the same time when I shoot birds.

On my Canon I use my cell phone as my remote. You can see the live view on the phone when you snap. Really useful if you want to be in the picture. Set up the pic, drop my arm and snap. I don't know if your Nikon has that ability.

I read a lot of people on UHH who talk well about Costco Photo printing. Do any of you have any experience with Sam's Club Photo printing? The nearest Costco is not convenient and I have two Sam's Clubs that are. So I already shop at Sam's Club. I did one small print there (upload service and pickup in club) and paid for the higher quality service and it seemed nice but I am considering some larger prints. Not sure that I want to pay for the Costco membership primarily to print photos. Looking mostly for paper and canvas.

The T7i can focus down to f/8. Still I wasn't sure that it would work but it does.

I ordered software from BH Wednesday of last week. Still hasn't arrived. Hopefully today. They did send a warning about weather delays. The are using DHL this time. It is an unreasonable wait even given weather, but I am not in a hurry.

I just got my used Kenko TELEPLUS Pro 300 DG 1.4X Teleconverter for Canon EF Mount from KEH. I am using it with my T7i and Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens. I want to report that the auto focus worked great with the combo at 300mm. I just need to get used to keeping the camera steady at that effective focal length but I have gotten some good non-blurry test shots at fast shutter speeds and 3200 ISO. I will see how it works in the field with some real shots using my monopod. My main focus is wildlife, mostly birds. I will report back after I get some nice colorful shots and process them in Affinity. I was considering getting Topaz Denoise but I am not sure that it will work on my MacBook. After I take my next field trip I may download the trial. Any experience using Topaz Denois on a MacBook Pro 2015? At this point I am not wanting to spend ~$1500 on a new computer just to get a better denoise function. Any tips on using the denoise in Affinity?

I bought some gloves from Amazon when I searched for dexterity gloves. I can easily operate my camera including the touch screen with them on. Here is the pair that I bought but there are other options.

These are not the warmest option but work well for me.

Thanks for the feedback from you all. I think I can get get rid of my mild case of GAS for a year and see what happens with a potential R7. I checked out the rumors and the rumored R7 may meet my needs better depending on exactly what it looks like.

Hi All. I currently have a Canon T7i and am generally happy with it. I have a few EF-S lenses and a EF 50mm/1.8 and a EF 70-300mm f4/5.6 IS USM. I am mostly interested in wildlife photography. I am disable and will mostly be shooting from a wheelchair or scooter. My issues is that my hands are not the steadiest anymore (back in my youth I was an expert marksman so I have a high standard.) I am considering getting a Canon R5, an EF-R adapter and a 2x teleconverter, and then waiting a while on new lenses as that would be a big hit by itself. How much do you think that I would benefit from the in camera IS from the R5? All input is appreciated but I would especially like input from people who have switched to the R5.

I am getting used to using a monopod from the scooter. I have a fairly decent tripod but since I am mostly looking at potentially moving wildlife it is not the easiest thing to use from the scooter.

Thank-you. I looked into the Crane Trust and their observation bridge is handicapped accessible. I really appreciate the tips.

Hi. I am new to the forum. I am handicapped and interested in going to the Nebraska Sandhill Crane Migration this Spring. I will be spending a Monday night in North Platte and am interested in places where I might be able to photograph the cranes from my car (I will have a window mount ball head) or along a trail that I can access from a mobility scooter (no walking for me.). I plan on being out till sunset Monday night and up before sunrise on Tuesday morning. I will have a monopod that I can use from my scooter. Any spots along a road or in a park (state or otherwise) that you may know of?

I will be using a T7i and my longest reach is an EF 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM and have a set of lenses (mixed EF and EF-S) down to a 10mm EF-S.

Thanks in Advance
