He likes the new Canon he got that is much smaller and works well for him He has been to Spain,France Nd is going to Finland and has taken some pretty good pics so far
Mainly he is happy
Will this deal with 2 monitors ?
If so, up to what resolution of the monitors would it deal with?
Thanks

I guess I come from a different time. Doesn't this kid have parents or a parent in England? They could take him to a local store and get him an inexpensive, easy to use camera. I guess I didn't want high dollar items when I was a kid and but certainly wouldn't have expected my parents or let alone my grandparents to foot the bill. Whatever happened to kids figuring out how to entertain themselves. Perhaps when we can't give them ourselves, we substitute money or things that cost money.

This seems totally unresponsive and unseasonably churlish to a request for suggestions what camera to consider (for an Xmas present [although to be fair, this was not stated explicitly, but might be a reasonable assumption]).
Hope your holiday season improves.
Good point
Warranty issues too I suppose
My 9 yo grandson has expressed an interest in a digital camera.
He lives in London.
Probably get on Amazon in the UK although have enough time now to mail I believe.
Presumably want small, ability to easily upload photos to somewhere ( computer, internet, etc)
Suggestions please.
Thanks
Question was “as of today” but thanks
My low end I7 is long in the tooth, 8 years or so.
Hobby photographer only.
I use Photoshop, Lightroom and Affinity and NIK but have also bought over the years On1 and Capture 1 and a few others. I haven’t done much lately but I might retire soon and would thus use above more often. This is for fun and personal satisfaction only
I am getting some messages about “need more graphics card capability, etc” from some of the programs. Things are a bit slow at times. I presume newer, better would be faster.
Is there a simple answer, as of today, how much memory and what graphics cards would allow all of the above ( as of today) to work?
Are graphics cards rated as to levels (like a cpu chip I 5 or 7 for example) so that the purchase evaluation would be simpler?
How much memory would be guaranteed to be enough?
PC only please as I have tried Apple but just did not enjoy it.
Thanks for useful, pertinent information to my questions.
Sort of on the way is Monahans State Park west of Abilene with lots of sand dunes.
Best time probably early or late for shadows. This makes getting there from your location problematic and would probably mean an overnite stay…
Some of us don’t have 2 slots
It creates a backup, discussed in several prior posts in this thread

That sounds like a sage plan to me. The NEWQ device does not automatically delete the files from the SD card?
Thanks
Does not delete files automatically.
Put the sd card form camera in the new q device
I have a small ssd drive in a cheap case attached to the NEWQ via usb
Both together like a thick deck of cards. A bit bigger but not much
Hit a button on the New q and the photos on the sd card are copied (not moved) to the usb drive
You now have a backup of your files on the usb drive
The new q device can create a network. No internet needed
As I carry an iPad to read, get email on, I could use the iPad to view the photos on the usb drive
I prefer the bigger screen etc.
I did not use the iPad to edit as I prefer to do other stuff to do on vacation besides editing photos
In summary
No Laptop needed
No iPad needed unless you want to view the photos
You have a backup on a ssd drive
You have original photos on the cards used in camera
Cost about 125 or so
The new Q devices copies from the camera to a hard drive ( I used a SSD drive in an enclosure) attached to the New Q device
Does not remove anything. Hence it creates a backup. Could probably copy to another SD card but did not explore this as an option
No different than copying files from your camera to a pc.
