Personally, I'd love to buy the Mark V version but unfortunately, I don't have enough cash.

 

 

Thanks for not being a hater and seeing it from my perspective, Im not trying to hate on the P30 pro, it does have a lot of faults, does low light and 5x OIS zoom make up for it is what it comes down to.

 

I have the mk5, I had the 2 prior. I was looking at the 6 but I just not sure given all the gear I have whether I need the zoom.

 

I have an a6500, looking into the a6400.

 

Selling my D810 to make room for a Canon EOS R, ive never owned a Canon but the ease of using EF lens with a great adapter is very appealing. I did consider the Z7 but it didnt get amazing reviews, which means selling my nikon lenses and buying used Canon gear.

 

I honestly dont know if I will keep the a6500 as the Mirrorless FF cameras are so small. I did cosider the Sony and Obviously the Nikon which I think Richard has, but the Canon is fairly new. Its basically the latest 5d in a much smaller body. I want it mostly as Im getting into underwater photography and the D810 is quite heavy.

cokeman2: Forget about selling theres just too many on trade me already...probably pick up the watch for $50 in a few days there be so many on there

 

Yikes, that does make things less enticing, I love the galaxy watch, Im not sure Id use this one that much and the headphones are not my style, id love some bluetooth earphones though.

I got a text from PBTech and have picked up the package with ueboom and power bank. The smart watch needs to be redeemed separately for this bundle.

I have pre-ordered a Huawei P30 Pro, I don't have the same high standards as you so I  can accept flaws that you would consider deal breakers.

 

I see the flaws as a trade-off for using a product that is pushing up against technological boundaries.

Has anyone noticed you can't install Samsung apps like the health app? In settings there is an option to add a Samsung account but it doesn't actually do anything if you try to add the account. Samsung apps in the play store also don't even have an option to install, I have managed to install the galaxy wear app but you can't sign into that either, just keeps coming up with an error.

Great way to look at it, the other way is you are getting a pretty good camera that zooms out to 125mm and has reasonable 4k video for $1099

Does it come with a basic cover and pre-applied screen protector?
