16g goes a bloody long way if shooting in JPG mode and is still very usable with RAW if you process daily

128gb is more than most ever need when traveling and doing regular cleanups

iMHO

camera specs will specify the recommended sd card class. 4k video will gobble up storage, but even a 64gb card will hold plenty of minutes.

I always prefer to keep cards smaller, either 32 or 64 gb, and have a few as then if one fails, you won't lose as much. Video you might need 128 gb though. And transferring to computer is a bit easier.
The fastest cards are best for cameras too, extreme or extreme pro being fastest :)

My 1dx is the mk2 :) mine are all second hand 1dx was a bargain, it didn't work but I managed to fix it! My lenses are old as well, they are what I hope yo upgrade next.
Can definitely share some of my work in the camera corner. I cover horse events (less now as I'm sick of in accessible toilets. Should be wheelchair accessible loos everywhere in this day and age)
And a few commercial clients.
Then my own fun and creative things:)

With the insurance money,we added, and bought the 1DXMk2,its also a cracker but,as you said very heavy.But better for BIF,birds in flight.

We will sell the 1DX shortly and replace it with a Cannon R3,around 2/3 of the weight of the 1DX,with many more features,similar or slightly better quality.The R5 is half the weight of the 1DX,but doesnt suit our needs as much as the R3.

Still waiting to win lotto,then i can get a 600mm[bighmmm][wink11]

Yes,there is a concern about DSLR being dropped,one of my brothers does digital printing,and he wont change,has tested the mirrorless,but doesnt like them.He uses top of the range Nikon and Fuji gear.

Anyway,it would be good to see some of your pics, maybe in the camera corner area?[smilebigeye]

Cannon offers the G series a descent advanced compact camera. It offers a very good image quality, acceptable zoom range and a light compact size.

On the downside the lens is not super fast, the camera is not weather proof and has a high price tag.
