Noel Leeming are probably more expensive than most, but if you're limited by supplier then they're better than nothing...
I had to spend a gift voucher on the last valid day & got a Lexar from them. It's a microSD & adapter as it was all they had in stock.
(keep in my wallet for if/when I ever leave the memory at home!)

That's why I want a spare spare ... got out one day last week, went to take a shot ...... and no card.

Picked up a Sandisk Extreme 16 Gb at Noel Leeming today $39.95, but with my Gold Card $22.18!!! At last an advantage to growing old!!

Is THIS the one you got? If so their prices are pretty high without discount!!!

Hardly use a tripod these days unless going for long exposures, which I haven't done for ages.

When I used the 70D for every day shooting I gradually upgraded my glass to faster, and got used to hand holding, after using a heavy Manfrotto for landscapes. I find the IS in the M5 to be such that I can mostly get what I want hand held. However I do still have in mind some LE stuff I want to do. I'd be interested in what tripods people use.

I have a little gorillapod which is very handy too

Yeah I pretty much only need one for long exposures. I also want to be able to carry a tripod everywhere on holidays so I can have nice photos of my gf and I. We've tried asking people around but that's also risky safety wise and not to mention I've seen some truly horrible composition from them haha

I have an old Gitzo G0012 mk2 that I use occasionally.
Bought it originally to handle a 20D, I have used it at a push with the 1d3 when on holiday etc. so it copes with the M5 pretty well.

Aren't Gitzo ones usually really high priced?

I'm getting either a manfrotto BeFree Carbon or Sirui T-024X for travel since they are around 700g to 1kg where as my current Manfrotto is 3.5kgs with the head! They also fit in a backpack where as the manfrotto is HUGE!

I think so - NZ prices! Probably wouldn't have gone to Noel Leeming but have some credit on my Qcard to use up ...

Yes I think twice about asking people to use my camera if I don't know them.

I have an old Manfrotto and it is heavy.

Wow those prices are high! I hate to see the cost of lenses and bodies....

Mine is very heavy too which is why I never use it much when I travel. We always have to pick a time to take it out for photos. I think for my holiday in April I'll bring the M5 around a lot with me.

Image editing OK

Unfortunately I didn't get more chances to shoot while I was on vacation this week, and I also brought one of the wrong lenses with me, leaving my 11-22 at home. I was a little late to get max color from this sunset and the rest of the week we got clouds and snow.

looks well fine to me!

some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

possibly, but then after 10 years or so you forget what you paid for stuff....

Thanks for the link. I've seen that one and Hypop in Alexandria have it a bit cheaper. I'm still deciding if the T-024X is worth it over the 025x.

Haha i certainly would too!

I see Canon have a new mirrorless offering:

https://www.canon.co.n​z …elqat=1&elqCamp​aignId=738

It's quite interesting, it's meant to be under the M5 but the features like AF make it seem better. I wonder if we could get this eye af via a firmware update.
