I would jump on the Zeiss if I didn't already own the optically and constructionally superior Fuji 14mm. Sadly within the time that I posed that auction it was already purchased for its but it now price of $200.

I recorded some piano improv through garage band, just to try it. I'm not really big on recording things. I exported it as an mp3 and it's on my phone, so I can listen to it to remember what I played. But it seems that I only get one listen on my phone per time it's turned on/off. There's two on there, if I play either of them then try and play either one, it just goes to the next song. Anybody have any idea why that would be the case? I wouldn't be surprised if it's some drm protection crap since it's apple stuff, which is odd cause it's quite literally my music.

Alternately, and more recently, I've tired recording things in reaper using two keyboards, a digi piano and little korg nanokey for other sounds or e piano, played at the same time. When I replay the recordings, one note from one track plays and that track stops, while the other keeps going. Is there a reason that'd occur? I'm trying to play both at the same time, not record one track and then the other, so it can be played live.

I know these are oddly specific, but if there's an obvious general issue I'm missing, which is likely, than please point it out if you know. I'm a noob at this stuff.

What dslr cage or rig should I get? I have seen that in ten and two they use a dslr cage free handed for low wide angle shots. I am looking into getting one around 150$

Almost considering making a thread on this as there doesn't seem to be anything solid, but looking to switch to a mirrorless camera system, mostly cause of size and weight. I'm very familiar with dslr's, but know relatively nothing about mirrorless. Fuji seems like an obvious choice, but don't know what I should stay away from, etc. I know I'd like to stay away from a fixed lens, would like to be able to swap out lenses. Thinking of selling my Nikon gear to fund a new bike and a more compact camera.

I'd like a camera that i can bring with me biking and backpacking and still shoot decent photos. I'll fill some of this out to help.

1) What is your budget? How much money can you spend right away, and do you think you can get more money to invest in the future?
I'd probably like to spend $500-1000.

2) What experience do you already have with cameras? Have you ever even used one before? Have you helped your friend out with his camera? Have you owned your own?
Yes, fairly experienced with dlsrs.

2) What gear, if any, do you currently have? (tripod, old camera lenses, mics, etc)
Currently own a Nikon D3 along with a variety of lenses.

4) What are you planning to shoot and how do you want to use your camera? Are you going to use this with the sole purpose of shooting skiing? or do you think you might try other stuff as well (movies, documentaries, short films, etc)
Skiing, biking, backpacking, you name it. Mostly want to compact.
