Until I got this camera I wasn't too bad, since caf was useless on the em5 I was nearly always in single shot mode.
But this thing, I use mostly in burst mode, or the high speed Pro capture firing 60 frames a second, and it'll save 3seconds worth once I fully press the shutter, so 180 frames at a time and maybe a dozen if I'm lucky will make it to import.
My computer is struggling under the load, I don't think I'd ever tried to deal with more than 500 images at once before.
I've got around 3000 images from last year that didn't get wiped immediately, there's probably triple that since lock down and I've been more critical what I import

Have a look at Photo Mechanic, I've only ever heard good things about it.

That looks interesting, there's a few programs I'll get when a new pc, I just don't think mine has the power to deal with that number of images.
I did see an article on speeding up light room by changing some default settings, I think I'll give the computer a tune up and see if I can speed it up a bit.

Chaps after some advice.
Running an old canon s5is. The built in intervalometer dont give me many options so looking for an external one. For the life of me i cant find a compatible one. Possibly camera too old.
If anyone can help with one id appreciate it.
Failing that a new camera with a flip screen and will allow the use of an external intervalometer.
Im in no way an experienced photographer and camera will literally sit in my rucksack for fishing only.
Must have flip screen and hotshoe attachment for my rhinobeam and allow an external intervalometer.
Not looking to spend over 500 notes
Many thanks

It doesn't look like it has ports for an intervalometer, your only option would be a software hack, chdk or magic lantern would be 2 places to start if your happy with the camera

Bought the big camera fishing hoping to get some shots of the hobby/s I saw snatching dragonflies last week, haven seen a glimpse of them this week but I did test the stabilisation last night.
8 seconds handheld was easy, 15 seconds was possible leant against a tree at 12mm (24mm equivalent)

This is so true.
I take pics in high q jpeg and raw with a 36mp camera. Each file is 40 times the size of an old 3.5 floppy disk. And yet I don't delete anything.

Hi, I am looking for some advice based on experience and knowledge of what Lens to upgrade too.
I have a Canon 80D and have been using a EFS 18-135mm USM lens, but wanted to get a better zoom, possibly up to 300mm.
Can anyone recommend a high quality lens (for photography and video too)?
Many thanks.

I can't really help with canon lenses but when video is involved you have to look out for noisey motors. Some of my lenses I can only use for video if I can use a lav mic, or a shotgun mic on an extension lead away from the camera. You'll do well to search for video specific reviews of any lens you consider
