Can I share a pre-filled Amazon cart for a community food drive?

Gregoryfap — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 09:32:59 +0000

Is there actually a way to send a link to my friends that already has all the food I picked out in the cart because I am seriously about to pull my hair out trying to figure this out. I have been sitting here for two hours picking out specific bulk cans of beans and rice and pasta for the local shelter drive here in Seattle and every time I try to copy the link and text it to my sister she says the cart is empty on her end.

Like why is this so hard? I feel so stupid because it should be easy but I just dont get how to save the stuff so other people can see it. We need to get everything ordered by next Friday or the shelter wont have enough for the weekend rush and my budget is super tight so I really need the community to help out but I cant expect them to go find every single item themselves. Is there a button I am missing or something? I looked everywhere and I am just so confused. Do I need a special business account or is there a trick to it? Sorry if this is such a basic thing to ask but I am just completely lost right now and really stressed about getting these supplies in time...

What is the best all-around lens for the Canon EOS R5 Mark II?

What is the absolute best all-around lens for the R5 Mark II that wont make me regret spending five grand on this body? I am honestly so frustrated right now because I just upgraded from my old 5D and I've been trying to use my old EF 24-70mm with the adapter but it is just so clunky and the balance feels totally off and half the time the autofocus is hunting which basically defeats the purpose of buying this high-tech beast of a camera.

I am leaving for a big trip to Japan in like three weeks and I am genuinely anxious that I wont have a setup that works by the time I hop on the plane. I need one lens that can handle everything from street photography in Tokyo to some portraits of my family without me having to swap glass every five minutes because my bag is already gonna be way too heavy. My budget is around $2,500 maybe a bit more if it is really worth it but I just want something that stays on the camera 90% of the time and actually takes advantage of that new sensor.

Is the RF 24-105mm f4 enough or am I gonna miss that extra stop of light? Or should I just bite the bullet on the 24-70 f2.8 RF? I keep reading conflicting reviews and my head is spinning trying to decide if the weight trade-off is worth the cost and im worried about making the wrong choice again...

How do I turn my Amazon shopping cart into a shareable URL?

aiden.bradley — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 03:32:41 +0000

so sorry if this is really basic but I am totally lost and kinda stressed. Im trying to send my niece a list of stuff for her dorm room before she moves in next week but I cant find a button to share the link to my cart.

Is that even a thing or am I just blind? How do I get a URL for her...

Which battery grip works best for the Canon EOS 90D?

Eva — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 03:31:15 +0000

I've been scouring the web for a battery grip for my 90D because I'm shooting my first solo wedding gig in Seattle next month and the thought of my camera dying mid-ceremony is giving me literal heart palpitations. I did some digging and obviously the Canon BG-E14 is the official one but man it is pricey for what it is. I saw a bunch of people on Reddit swearing by the Neewer and Vello brands as cheaper alternatives but then I read some horror stories about the battery indicator being totally wrong or the camera just shutting off because the connection pins arent lined up right. It's making me so nervous because I really need something reliable for this specific job.

Must have a vertical shutter that doesnt feel mushy

Budget is $120 max really

Needs to handle some light drizzle since it is Seattle

Accurate battery readouts on the screen

I dont want to spend $200 on the Canon brand one if the $60 Vello is basically the same thing but I also cant afford for the camera to glitch out when they're doing the rings. Is the official one actually better built or is it just the branding? Has anyone had a third party one fail on them during a long shoot? Im honestly lost...

Which wireless remote control works best with the Canon Rebel T7?

Ethan — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 21:31:14 +0000

So I finally got a real camera guys its a Canon Rebel T7 and I seriously have no idea what I am doing yet. I bought it because my sisters wedding is coming up in October in Vermont and I really want to get some nice group shots where I am actually in the picture instead of just taking them. I tried using the timer thing on its own but its so stressful running back and forth and trying to look natural while the light is blinking at you lol.

I was looking for a wireless remote on Amazon but everything is so confusing like some say they work with the T7 and then the reviews say they dont work because this camera doesnt have an infrared sensor or something?? I dont even know what that means really. I just want a little button I can hide in my hand and click to take the photo. My budget is pretty tight maybe like 30 or 40 dollars since I spent most of my money on the camera itself so I cant really afford anything fancy.

Does anyone know which specific one I should buy? I keep seeing stuff about the Canon BR-E1 but then some people say that only works with the T7i and that mine is different because its just the T7. I am super worried about buying the wrong thing and it not arriving in time for the trip...

Which extensions allow you to convert an Amazon cart into a link?

canarsiecoast — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 15:32:09 +0000

I really need help because I'm trying to send my sister a list of baby shower gifts from Amazon but I have like 15 things in my cart and no way to share them. My logic was that I could just copy the web address at the top but that didn't work... it just showed her empty cart.

Someone mentioned using a cart extension but I have no idea where to even find those or how they work. I'm totally lost and the party is this Saturday so I'm in a huge rush. Is there a simple one for beginners? Sorry if this is a basic question I just cant figure it out...

Which telephoto lens is recommended for bird photography on a Canon EOS R7?

amy.morgan — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 15:31:01 +0000

So I finally pulled the trigger on the R7 last week and man this animal eye tracking is basically magic compared to my old 90D days but now im realizing my old glass just isnt cutting it anymore. I was using the EF 100-400mm Mark I with the adapter and its just... heavy. And loud. And honestly it feels a bit soft on the 32.5MP sensor which I guess I should have expected but it still sucks seeing those shots not be tack sharp when I zoom in to look at the feather detail. Im super stoked because I am actually headed down to the Everglades for a week in April just for the heron nesting season and I want to make sure I have the right setup because I probably wont get back there for years and I dont want to regret my gear choices while im standing in a swamp.

I have been looking at the RF 100-500mm L but that price tag is making me sweat a little bit even though I know the quality is there. Then there is the RF 200-800mm which sounds insane for reach but I am worried about that f/9 aperture at the long end since I am often shooting in the shade or really early morning when the light is still kinda garbage. I am really torn between getting that crazy reach or sticking with something faster like an f/4 or f/5.6 if I can find one that doesnt weigh ten pounds.

Here is what I am looking for in a lens:

Budget is around $1800 to $2300 max honestly my spouse might kill me if I go much higher than that

Needs to be manageable for 4-5 mile hikes because I am not a tripod guy at all

Fast autofocus is a must for those quick warblers that wont sit still for a second

Preferably something that plays nice with the R7s ibis since I am a bit shaky sometimes

I have heard people talk about the RF 800mm f11 prime too but that seems way too niche for me or maybe I am totally wrong? I have been doing birding for a decade but this mirrorless transition is throwing me for a loop with all these new f-stop ranges and stuff. What are you guys actually using on the R7 for birds specifically that doesnt break your back or the bank...

How do I create a single gift list from different retailers?

DigitalNomad — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 09:33:03 +0000

Finally moving into my first place in Chicago next month and I'm so hyped to decorate! I need a single wishlist for stuff from West Elm, Target, and a local boutique but I'm torn between MyRegistry and GiftHero. MyRegistry looks more official but GiftHero seems simpler for my older relatives who arent tech savvy. Which one is easier to manage?

Recommendations for the best battery grip for Canon EOS R5 Mark II?

GigaGeek — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 09:31:11 +0000

Does anyone know if the BG-R20 is actually worth the extra cash or should I look at some of the newer third-party options for the R5 Mark II? Ive been shooting with the original R5 for years and always used the Canon brand grip, but with the R5II being so power hungry during high-res video I really need the extra juice. Im heading to Iceland in three weeks for a landscape gig and I'm worried about the weather sealing on the cheaper knockoffs like Neewer or whatever else is popping up. Budget is around $400-500 but Id rather save if the build quality is there... just dont want my camera dying in the rain.
