Any recommendations for the most versatile, highest-quality lens for the R50 (for ~$600)? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I've also been recommended a relatively cheap Sigma lens that is of high image quality but it doesn't have Image Stabilization. Would that be a concern with R50 without IBIS?

And is the 18-150mm lens much better than the basic kit 45 one?

Thanks, great insights. Could you recommend one or a few prime lenses for 600usd or so? For R50. And is it worth upgrading to a full frame camera or would R50 be great for a long time in photography in general?

So is the RF-S 18–150mm f/3.5–6.3 IS STM 'bad quality'? Is it worse than the kit lens? How much worse is it than the $2k lenses?

Why wouldn't the third option work best?

I'm in need of a good regular lens for all-round purposes that would take me a long way, and a decent macro lens. What would you recommend, the cheapest options? (only new, I can't find used where I live)

I'm in the price range of Canon EOS R50 and heavily considering it versus other similarly priced and new models. Any thoughts on that?

Thanks, that's a cool website!

In your personal view, is there anything that beats the R50 at the price point?

I'm almost ready to jump the fence and get Canon EOS R50 with its kit lens. Any thoughts on that?

Thanks a lot. What would you recommend to protect my camera in that case? Should I always avoid letting direct sunlight into the lens? But then how can I take landscape photos during the day?

Oh I'm the OP 😅 in where I live it seems that R50 is within my budget (I just pray to god these are not fake cameras somehow as Asia is obsessed with faking products). What do you think about it? Anything to consider?

I'm also considering getting it soon but not sure if Canon 6D (or some Sony camera) would be better. Is that better overall? Currently relying on advice from friendly strangers and some ChatGPT for research.

Thanks! That's exactly why I came here asking. So in your view it's superior pretty much in every way?

Thanks! Thoughts on Canon EOS R50?

Can strong direct sunlight damage a camera or lenses somehow?

What's the most decent live online course for Python/NLP/Data Science with actual instructors? (lemm.ee)
 

I'm in the process of transitioning from my current career in teaching to the NLP career via the Python path and while I've been learning on my own for about three months now I've found it a bit too slow and wanted to see if there's a good course (described in the title) that's really worth the money and time investment and would make things easier for someone like me?

One important requirement is that (for this purpose) I've no interest in exclusively self-study courses where you are supposed to watch videos or read text on your own without ever meeting anyone in real-time.

What model do you use in your GPT4all? (lemm.ee)
 

Curious about what model is best to use on my RTX 3080 + Ryzen 5 3600 since I've just found out about this.

Would you guys recommend getting a subscription for GPT o1 or Poe? (lemm.ee)
 

I'm looking to get my first subscription of a machine learning model and I've been using POE for a while but I'm not sure if paying for it would be better than paying for a GPT subscription. I almost never use them to generate images, mostly for help with my business and some programming.

I also want my wife to be able to use the same account when I start paying for it.

I'm not sure what the benefits of each are and which would outweigh.

Best online 1on1 tutoring platform to learn programming under supervision (lemm.ee)

I've researched the topic and I understand that the general advice is that it's best to learn on your own. However, I'd like to see Lemmy's recommendations regarding websites where you can book programming (Python/R) sessions with a personal tutor online, ideally if you have used the service yourself. I mostly need it to maintain my motivation and learn regularly instead of sporadically.

What's the easiest way to update bios on my Ubuntu laptop without a USB? (lemm.ee)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/41741300

As a lifelong Windows user I've just for the first time switched to Ubuntu and I'm learning how to navigate the system but I haven't found an easy way to update my Carbon's X1 Gen 6 BIOS from its hard disk and would appreciate any advice.

I'd be also happy to hear what I should do as a newcomer to Ubuntu to make my experience with it better and have an easier time overall.

Help needed making voice typing work in Ubuntu (lemm.ee)
 

I've just recently transitioned from Windows to Linux as a lifelong user and I can't for the life of me find a way to type with my voice. Ive tried some scripts and apps but I couldn't make it work after trying for a few days straight.

I mostly need it in Firefox but it'd be nice to have it systemwide.

I'm using ThinkPad Carbon X1 Gen 6 so Whisper AI is out of question as it requires a graphics card.

What could you recommend?

Recommendations on a quality clip on NC microphone? (lemm.ee)
 

I have to work in very noisy environments such as near construction sites, near very loud music or highways, and due to the nature of my job I need to be in a lot of online meetings.

I need a clip microphone with a really good noise cancellation feature that would filter all of the noise out leaving only my voice.

Any recommendations? I've found Hollyland Lark M2 but it seems it lets a lot of noise through anyway.
