Okay I got it, all I had to do was change Jpeg preview to Full Size haha. Silly me.

Thanks for your recommendations! I don't feel it's worth getting the L lens especially since it's capped at 200mm, but the 70-300mm seems alright. However I can get the Mark 1 70-300mm for $210 instead of $420 on the Mark 2. Is it really worth spending double for the Mark 2?

Yes, I use a crop sensor. Well I don't need a huge amount of zoom but the 135 was definitely not enough. One time the sky was super red and I wanted to take a picture of the moon but the 135 couldn't handle the distance. But that's just one scenario. I really just want a good zoom range where I can relatively far objects (Maybe if I were on a rooftop), and maybe do nice videography with.

Yea, but for some reason it doesn't... Adobe DNG converter.

Are you sure I should get the 70-300mm? If so which kind? An amazon link would help.

So I have the Canon 80D and I'm trying to convert my 6000 x 4000 Raw to DNG because Adobe Lightroom does not seem to recognize it. When I convert it, the size of the photo stays relatively the same, but the dimensions get reduced significantly. For example, when I convert a 32 MB photo 6000 x 4000 pixels Raw to DNG, it becomes 28 MB 1024 X 683. Sorry if I sound dumb, but I'm still a newbie at this. Thanks!

So I recently refunded my Canon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 lens because I felt like I could have gotten a better buy, and the zoom wasn't enough for me. Is there another zoom lens I can try that gives more zoom and hits under the 300-400 dollar price tag? I prefer it to have Image Stabilization aswell.

I don't have one sadly...

No, because the keyboard doesn't work. It just doesn't light up and the keys don't activate when I press on it. Same for the mouse and flash drive.

So I recently just bought all my parts and tried building my computer today. The motherboard I got is the MSI z270 a pro. After assembling everything correctly, the computer boots up. The motherboard "Pro series" pops up on the screen, then quickly goes up to the message "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key". The problem is, when I plug in my mouse, keyboard, and flash drive (Boot device) to the usb ports on the motherboard, none of it works. I tried testing to see if the port died by putting in my phone charger, and my phone starts charging. I tried testing the usb ports on my front panel, and the same issue applies. Is there any solution to this? Or is my motherboard somehow fried.

Oh, well I can't seem to find any that are less than $300... I mainly chose the 18-135mm for it's versatile zoom so I can be far from something and get really close without having to move. For example, at one point I may be trying to record someone performing onstage but at the middle/back of the huge auditorium. If you guys have other recommendations for versatile zoom lenses, please mention them. Also, gimbals are way too expensive, so I'm probably going to go for a stabilizer. Which ones would you guys recommend on Amazon? Thanks.

Should I get the Canon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM?

The sigma sure is nice, but it does come with a hefty price... Also a deal breaker for me, is how there is no image stabilization and the fact that it's only 18-35mm so you don't get much zoom. Any other recommendations??

So I just purchased the Canon 80D, but it does not include the kit lens. I want to get the best of both worlds of photography and videography. I'm planning to buy the 50mm f1.8 STM cause that's like the standard lens for portrait photography, but I don't really know what lenses to use for videography... In terms of the video I may shoot, it'll probably be like music videos, or adventure montages and whatnot. Let's say I have a budget of $500 and already have the 50mm f1.8, should I really spend money on a 18-55mm STM kit lens? Which lenses should I buy? Thanks in advance!!

Alright, thanks a bunch dude. I'll keep all these lenses in mind. Thank you for your time and in depth input. I really appreciate it.
