I have a Sony RX100 m3. When I bought the iPhone 11Pro a couple years ago, I compared the pics with the Sony versus the iPhone 11 and decided I liked the latter better. Not sure how the iPhone 12 has been improved, but yes, the iPhones are definitely capable to serve for things that are close (and some of the other phones are supposed to be even better).
PS. Even some of my pics with my older iPhones have been some of my favorites, like this one that was taken with iPhone 4 more than 10 years ago:

Did a search and didn’t see anything. For mac users only please. I just pulled the trigger and purchased a new M1 Mac Mini with 16GB ram. I've been using a mid-2011 27" iMac since 2011. It only went to High Sierra and doesn’t have ML Graphics so more and more apps don’t work on it. I'd hoped to use the screen as my monitor for the mini but Apple stopped supporting that.

So I am researching monitors that I can AFFORD. I shoot full frame 27MB images.

So my questions:
1. Do I need 4k or can I go with 2K like my iMac monitor?
2. Do I need a monitor that supports Thunderbolt or just HDMI 2.0 (those are the specs for the mini).
3. I'd like a 27" because I have a sunscreen for that size already but is there an advantage of a 32" for photography?
4. Any real life suggestions (meaning you own it).

Remember cost is a factor - I'd like to be able to own a $1,600 BenQ but way out of my budget which is more like $400 at the top in.

Thanks in advance,

Ed

Hi, I was out shooting with my 80D and EF 100-400 11 lens yesterday, and was approached by another photographer. He asked me why I was using EF lens on a crop sensor camera instead of EF-s lens. I told him I usually use my 5D M4 but that was setup for another project now. He said you shouldn't use that lens on that camera, but couldn't explain why, he just the person at the camera shop told him that. I've never herd that before and my pic's come out awesome " IMO " with that combo. Has anyone else been told this??? Is there any truth to this??
Thanks
Tom

I'm an amateur. Have enjoyed photography since '84 when I bought my first camera (AE1-program). Current lenses: 23mm and 18-55mm. Looking now for a telephoto for beach (boats, birds, fisherman, etc.) My max price is $500. Might print on occassion up to 24x36. Can get Fuji's XF55-200 at today's national sale price of $499. My question: Rather than pay $400 for 200mm, would there be a camera (with built in lens) at comparable cash outlay I might consider that offers much greater reach? Thank you experts!
