    • I have one. i dont mind it for when i do road trips. The 15mm olympus lens i mean...  Can use it like a lens cap, push the lever and away you go. Although i do worry that ultimately dust or dirt is going to find its way into the lens... takes up no room what so ever. You do get a slightly different look, its a simple lens, i guess you like it or you don't . If your camera has peaking that helps with depth of field i find.  Would have liked the 9mm as well but that hasn't eventuated yet.  Not so sure about the moon shot, the moon is pretty bright, if your using a tele lens of some kind you dont need to venture too far from a normal iso and shutter speed.  I can string a lens combo together of about 950mm on a mft mount, and i can tell you that image of the moon thats been supplied is huge. Be interesting to see how they did it, my money's on  this new gopro  gaffer taped to a telescope of some kind at least. maybe 1200mm as my images of the moon aren't that big. I'm also willing to bet  gopro gave their camera to someone who's heavily invested into astrophotography and got all the gear and said, here have a play with this. Its actually a very nice image of the moon all things considered. I am confident that optimum conditions and fair amount of skill were involved in that photo of the moon. Same with all the other images supplied they all look done under optimum "conditions"  Gopro might sell a bunch of these, if all you have to do is gaffer tape it to the back of a telescope and can get similar results. There's plenty of enthusiasts out there who would buy one, however if you have the gear already, you probably have a decent camera already as well... I like the little go pros, i think their pretty cool considering what you can do with them.  They are a great little action camera, maybe not a great cinema camera but that comes back to the owner and time and effort and money they want to put into it.  My "gripe" with gopro is its all digital, digital stab, digital zoom. I dont like the fisheye too much, so i shoot linear , which is a digital zoom i believe. Now i'm not nocking the digital stab or the zoom per se but there's no optical with gopro if you want optical its up to you to supply your own diopters or other type of " kit ". I would be interested if  gopro did do some kind of  two lens system like a wide angle and a normal lens that you could twist on and off like the front element does, but i fear with the new gp3 there will be just more digital and an Ai moniker 😉.    
    • I've used Luma Fusion on iPad.  I edited some vlogs with it a while back before deciding I didn't like editing on the iPad, but the editor itself worked fine and was really simple/straightforward.  They released a MacOS version a while back.  I haven't tried it, but I'd guess it's also pretty simple/easy. Yes.  🤦‍♂️. I meant to type "3D lut creator."  And yeah, it's a little expensive, but it's a lot of features to implement/compete with, especially if you want editing as well.  How many hours of your time would you want to burn for $39/seat? Unless it's making editing decisions for me, a simpler editor wouldn't fix the thing that costs me the most time in Resolve.  The other things which end up costing me time are things that I should just figure out the hotkey for at some point (like "shift everything on timeline after this point back enough to add this clip").  I take it that the cut page in Resolve is also too bloated for you?  I think it's specifically intended for faster turnaround stuff like you describe.  I've paid it almost no attention beyond that. The MacOS preview tool allows cropping and resizing.  I use it all the time.
    • Preview can crop and gives you finer controls for the size of the file on export. I think it can be used as a fairly usable, basic and lightweight photo fidgeter. unless you need to straighten your image But a similar type of idea for video seems to be missing. Aside from trimming and rotating individual clips.
    • What if you want to crop as well? Quick Actions are too limited. Photoshop is too bloated. The in between solutions are all a bit weak.
    • On Mac, you can do this in finder. Right click you image(s) > Quick Actions > Convert Image. From there you can pick JPEG, PNG or HEIF - and then a few size options. The 'Actual Size' JPEG option just turned my 28mb 5152 x 7728 sample photo into 7.3mb 5152 x 7728. While 'Large' made it 182kb 853 x 1280  It's a slow afternoon, so i tested small too and it went to 26kb 213 x 320.  --- The Quick Actions also lets you trim video and a few other things, but obviously no real editing LUTs, cuts or... butts. A lightweight NLE does sound pretty appealing
