For the night time issue, that's a physical limitation of the camera's sensor size. It'll always suffer more in low light vs. a DSLR because there is less light hitting the camera.

The reason iPhone shoots night mode at 12MP is because it does what is called pixel binning. It takes four pixels and combines it into one to present a cleaner looking image with less noise.

Most images taken at night will generally need more post-processing to bring it up to snuff. But without seeing your night pictures, I imagine that depending on the lighting available that even DSLRs might have issues without a proper setup. I've taken some pretty good shots at night with my old iPhone X - and that was before all the "neural network" and night mode settings were made available.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that a better camera will help, but it won't necessarily solve your issues.

Somehow I find it easier to frame a picture when taking it using a viewfinder rather than a phone screen. All the newer DSLRs are wifi-enabled too, so you can kind of transfer photos to your phone almost immediately.

The bigger DSLRs are for sure more annoying - but I've been shooting/messing around with the Fuji X-T series and the Canon RP and with the right lens (pancakes, primes) they are fairly unobtrusive and discreet.

Man, I loved my Fuji X-E1 with the 27mm pancake. It was a great low-profile setup, despite the autofocus and EVF being ass, lol.

Figured as much......... tongue in cheek comment. It's like drag racing........ there's always someone faster.

He does need a hobby, amiright?

Purpose in life.


Anywy....................

RS is my hobby! what a giant time sink this place is hahah

I have a Canon R5. highly recommend, although I'd like an R3 to play with.

Update: Amazon gave me a full refund for the return.

Also, went back a few pages and noticed Bahobz has a Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra necklace for his dog. Jesus Christ. :lol

dont rob ma dog! :heckno:

Was watching CSI: Vegas. Man, the new series is just odd. Stories themselves are okay, but the cast............. I just can't get into it.

Anyway, what caught my eye was when they were talking about a species of bird. Got me thinking about some of the cool names they have for groups of animals.

Parliament of Owls. Is that to say MLA's and MP's are smart? LMFAO. More like a "Colony" of Weasles.

How can you stand watching TV ? Doesn’t the commercials and interruptions drive you insane ? I can’t even watch normal tv anymore. YouTube and Netflix have ruined me forever.

I keep watching shit like this. I don’t even know why but it’s interesting to me

Years later, the Arrow was touted to be the greatest Canadian contribution to aviation..........

Anyway, I watch television for the commercials.

To each their own, I guess.

Damnit........... stuck on level 151 of Royal Match. I got this far without buying anything. So close, so many times. I wish I never downloaded this game. I'm hell bent on getting this level done. What's life without a challenge? It's almost as much a trap as RS, gulolol.

I need help.

Bumping this to save RS the trouble of going back 5+ pages.

Telus mobility run by bunch of clowns. Half a year ago, I ported over to Fido because Telus started increasing my phone plan cost. Before I ported, I spoke with their loyalty department to see if they can offer a better rate. Telus said no, and told me to leave as they couldn't offer me anything. So I left to Fido and Telus winback called me a week later begging me to come back. At that time they tried to convince to come back, but wouldn't beat what Fido was offering me at the time, so I said I pass. This week, Telus mobility called me many times while I'm at work, so I finally got a chance to answer in the evening. Stupid idiot tried offering me a phone plan that is more than what I'm paying at Fido. Why would I want to come back to Telus when I'm having to pay more, makes no frigging sense. Always that we got a special limited time offer just for you bullshit, but the offer itself is shit lol.

I think people are getting really choked with that 1.5% processing fee and they are in panic mode

That and a potential strike on the horizon

I'm most likely ditching Telus by Boxing Day. Their loyalty department is a joke. I don't know if they legit have no power or what but by the time I port over to another carrier I'm not coming back for some bullshit where they try to match what I already have.

Their loyalty has indeed gone far far down from what they used to be able to do.

That said, if you're persistent and lucky, you can still get good deals. And loyalty does still have the 'power' to extend existing discounts.

This is my Telus bill, internet + tv for $55/mo:

Yeah I browse redflagdeals every so often to see what people are getting but man it sounds like such a fucking grind/luck of the draw to get the best deals through retentions. If I have to call more than once because one agent says it's not possible when it clearly is I'm usually out and I'll go to another provider for a few years.

There’s no money in retentions. They have to pad the stats for the business

Signing somone up for 4 services with home phone and security even if they never use those services, for the same cost of retaining you as a customer with 2 of those services looks way worse on paper. So there’s never deals to be bad for loyal customers as they are smart enough not to sign up for useless shit they will never use

I switched off of Shaw using some Telus reseller on Facebook last year.

Ended up being $87 a month + taxes for two years after $500 in credits.

PureFibre Gigabit and Optik TV with three theme packs and four multiculture theme packs.

If you have someone else at your house you can sign up a new account under (spouse, parent, etc), you can always reach out to a few reps to see what they can offer, cancel your service, and resign under that person.

Filipino accent: "Hello man-sir, this is Arnel from Telus mobile, we want to offer you a special discount for your services, do you have time to chat"

How are the lines at passport offices looking? Can I just renew my passport via mail or do I need to lineup in person at 7 AM?

Need to renew passport by May 2023.

If you were wondering why Henry Cavill is no longer allowed to be Superman or Geralt the Witcher, it's because he turned into a toxic capital G Gamer LOL. I guess it's not funny to have one more scumbag in the world who was a decent person before.. But man it's crazy to see people get turned like this, from VIDEO GAMES.

So now he has his own production of Warhammer shows and a movie.. Can't wait to see what a trainwreck those will be

Tl;dr I sent mine in May, it took too long, come Sept I drove down to the Vancouver office just after it opened, walked in, filed papers, told to come back at 3:45, had a passport. There was no line or wait or anything.

Online it said the Surrey office had a 5hr wait. It updates a couple times a day so you can get a bit of a feel for how busy they've been ahead of time if you check. They'll only do it quick like that if you have proof of travel in the next couple days though.

I heard he wanted to the show to be more faithful to the books/games and showrunner didn't feel the same way. Who knows what really happened but this person's take on it sounds very one sided and I'm sure there's more to it.

As for being 'not allowed' to play Superman anymore, James Gunn is basically rebuilding the DC Universe from scratch and is writing a script for a younger Superman movie so it's not a role that's made for him.
