Annoying isn't it 
I was watching a carp you tube vid the other day, reminded me of picking up the phone when someone was on the Internet in the early nineties with the focus motor jitters and clicky aperture stepping

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

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.

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.

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)

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

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
