I've been looking at Jomashop and Ashford but the reviews are all over the place and some people say the customer service is a nightmare if anything goes wrong. Like what happens if the movement is dead on arrival or if it's running like +/- 30 seconds a day? I'm trying to get this sorted out before my brothers wedding in three weeks and I really dont have time to be sending stuff back and forth through the mail for months. My budget is strictly under $550 for the watch itself because I spent way too much on the suit already and my wife is gonna kill me if I go over. I'm based in New Jersey so I need something that ships from the US preferably.

• Must be a legit site that wont steal my credit card info


• Needs to have Hamilton in stock and ready to ship within 48 hours


• Budget is around $450-$550 max


• Hopefully some kind of return policy even if it is a grey market seller


• Shipping to the east coast needs to be fast

Is there anywhere else besides those big ones? I looked at Chrono24 too but the private sellers and the shipping from Japan or Europe make me even more nervous honestly with the customs fees and everything. I just want a nice watch for once without feeling like I'm getting ripped off by an AD or gambling with some random site from overseas that might send me a box of rocks. If anyone has actually bought a Hamilton recently from a site they trust please tell me because I'm honestly ready to just give up on the whole thing...

• is there a lens that just fits without extra parts?


• are the cheap ones actually good for portraits or just junk?

Sorry if these are really basic questions I'm just totally lost...

Motors keep vibrating and I am panicking. Need something reliable under $450 that can actually handle this heavy setup. Suggestions?

My budget is capped at $400 for the card itself and I just refuse to pay some random guy on Facebook Marketplace double the price but man this is exhausting. I tried using some free chrome extensions but they are so laggy and half the time they dont even refresh unless I have the tab open which defeats the whole point if im at work. Is there a reliable service or an app that pings your phone the second something drops across multiple sites? I dont mind paying a small subscription fee if it actually works and helps me beat the bots for once... im just so tired of refreshing pages manually every five minutes it's driving me crazy.

I read on a couple of forums that the older LP-E6NH ones will fit and power the camera but it might disable some of the high-speed modes or the networking features and thats super confusing because some people say it only happens when the battery gets below 60 percent. Im also looking at the third-party stuff like Neewer or SmallRig because they are like a third of the price of the Canon ones which are like eighty bucks a pop. But then I saw a video saying third-party batteries might give an incompatible warning on the screen or even worse they might overheat during video recording and Im super paranoid about the camera locking up in the middle of the ceremony.

My budget is pretty stretched thin after buying the body and a new CFexpress card so I really dont want to spend another 400 dollars just on batteries if I dont have to. Is anyone actually using the R5II with third party batteries yet or are we stuck with the official ones for now to get the full performance?

• Official Canon LP-E6P


• Neewer USB-C versions


• Using my old LP-E6NH leftovers

But the compatibility thing is such a headache and I really dont want to risk it if the camera is gonna throttle itself right when things get busy...

• budget under $70


• decent build quality


• tactile shutter button

Are the Neewer or Vivitar ones still hit or miss with battery drain issues lately?

My logic was maybe just an Amazon list since everyone has Prime but then I read that it can be a pain if someone wants to buy from a local toy shop instead. So I was thinking about just a shared Notes link but that wont track if something is already bought right? I really need to get this sorted by tonight before my MIL just buys a bunch of random plastic junk we dont have room for... how do you actually manage this?

So I was thinking maybe I should just go old school and get a physical remote but I am stuck on which one actually plays nice with the 90D specifically. My logic was that a wired one like the RS-60E3 would be the most reliable because there is no signal to drop right? But then I started worrying about accidentally bumping the cord and causing motion blur which would totally defeat the purpose of using a remote in the first place. Then I looked at the BR-E1 bluetooth remote and I got all hyped because its official Canon gear but I keep reading mixed reviews about the pairing process being a total nightmare and honestly I just want something that works the first time every time.

I have about 80 bucks set aside for this which I feel like should be enough for something that doesnt feel like a cheap plastic toy? I looked at some third party intervalometers too because I kinda want to try doing some time-lapse stuff while I am out there but I dont want to buy another piece of junk that breaks after two uses. Does anyone actually use a specific remote with their 90D that they swear by? I need something that wont fail me when it is 30 degrees outside and I am in the middle of nowhere...
