Just wondering what the distribution of camera types among iNatters is. Note: If you use more then one pick the one you use the most. Only select 2 if both apply to that camera or you use both cameras equally. More advced compact camera could also be called superzoom/bridge camera. (This section wa…

You may be interested in checking links from https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/improving-site-speed/24606 iNat already downsizes photos, it takes a lot to edit photos, creating separate copies for iNat would be too much of a hassle and can lead to mess in folders or wrongly applied sizing.

Thanks Marina! I don’t submit a lot and have a filing system for keeping track of submitted photos so downsizing before submitting hasn’t been a problem for me. Thanks for the references. If nothing else, it’s good to know I’m not the only one finding it slow sometimes. Stay safe! Paul

I started using a Nikon D100 with macro lens this year (50mm I think) and there’s a lot of factors that separate a good shot from a great one. I had issues with adapting settings to bright sun.

Are we talking about the auto focus?

I use the PowerShot SX740 HS. It’s not the world’s best camera, that’s for sure, but it’s an overall decent nature camera. It’s got a nice macro setting and a good zoom. It gets a little fuzzy after you cross into the digital zoom as opposed to the optical one, but it zooms well enough to take good …

One camera i just started using is the Akaso Brave 7LE, an action camera similar to a GoPro. It has a lot of nice features, including time-lapse capability and a remote shutter release and for a tiny, relatively inexpensive camera seems to take good quality photos - California Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma…

I recently purchased a Canon SX70HS. I’m satisfied with the camera. The only thing I have problem with is taking pictures of fast moving objects especially swifts and all. Also it would have been better with more zoom.

I have a Canon EOS REBEL T3i, which is a good camera, but a little bulky, so I don’t always carry it with me. I’m using the lenses it came with the camera, as well as I have a 50 mm prime lens and 70-300 mm zoom lens (the cheap one!). I find that changing lenses is a hassle, especially when I have t…

No, I actually never warmed up to the auto focus function which usually is shitty in the macro range. I almost always focus manually
