I just purchased a Nikon D500 camera from KEH camera that looks like new. A friend recommended this camera and KEH. I want to get a back up battery. Any recommendations for off brand batteries, other than Nikon or should I stay with the Nikon battery?? Thank you.
Although this topic has been reviewed & commented on by thousands over the years here at Ugly; just pony up the $$$ and buy a camera brand if you like long-life batteries that simply "work," in the clinch...

I have a Mac that I just cannot get used to. I am going back to a Windows laptop. I am asking for help in which is best for photography, specifically. Especially how big space wise I should buy. I will be placing images on external hard drive but would still like to have a larger capacity laptop to hold edited images. I am interested in Dell or Lenovo.
If I decide to sell my Mac rather than give to a family member I will list on UHH.

Maybe spend some time reviewing professional laptop reviews to get an unbiased opinion, since human nature is to recommend what we own. It’s called “self-validation.” Cheers!

I have a Canon 5D Mark ii with the 24-105L lens and wonder if it makes sense to get a 2X extender for my trip to Spain. I also have an older Canon 75-300 lens but don't want to carry both. Concerned about quality with the extender and also whether a good one exists that fits my camera. (Thanks, Canon...) Also considered a used Canon 55-200, but Rockwell said that my camera couldn't handle the color problems.
Appreciate your help and snark,

Firstly,I’m not sure that Mr. Rockwell is the guy I would take advice from. If you don’t want to take the larger lens…don’t. I often travel with a 23MM Fuji X100 series and once in awhile for unique locales such as a safari a larger lens mounted to a mirrorless camera (helps keep the weight and bulk down). But, that’s me, your needs may be much different. So maybe chose what you need over what I need? Have fun!!!

[quote=jerryc41]A Tesla owner said he would never buy another Tesla, but he changed his mind and saved $12,000. He took advantage of a temporary offer to get the $12,000 software for free. Yes, $12,000 for software to make the car complete.
[i]"The reason I bought it this month was to take advantage of a temporary offer to transfer my so-called Full Self Driving (FSD) software from my old Tesla to the new one without having to pay $12,000 or $200 a month for the software. I’ll save the reason for my confession till I’m done reviewing the new car and the latest version of Tesla’s FSD software."[i/]

I wouldn't buy an EV for the fire risk alone. EVs average only sixteen fires a year, which is much lower that the fires in gas and diesel vehicles, at 3,384 annually. Of course, the number of EVs on the road is miniscule compared with internal combustion vehicles. The difference is that EV fires are spontaneous and very difficult to extinguish. I'm satisfied with 40+MPG from my Fit.[/quote]
You hit it on the mark...the percentage of EVs exploding into a virtually untamable fire is far more than gas fueled vehicles when the total number of EVs vs. gas vehicles are compared. It's the same reason airlines prohibit those Lithium batteries from in-the-hold air travel.

When I crop a picture the end result is often soft and "grainy". I have a Sony A3000 with a 20MP sensor. I'm using a 18-55 MM lens. Indoor shots with or without a flash. What am I doing wrong?
Maybe take your camera off “auto,” add a bit of light, walk or zoom in with your lens, closer to the subject are the easiest and cheapest ways to enhance your presented photos.

Friday I will be traveling through Maryland. I don’t remember if I have to take that bridge. Hope not. I’ll have enough problems when I get to the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn.
