    • those photogs are veterans with 30+ years experience, all have best nikon, canon, pentax, etc lenses. been there.    ml raw on 5d3 can do 10 bit uhd raw. ml raw at 10 bit and above especially at 14 bit, is vert different from typical mirrorless raw or 10 bit preres h.265. been there. 14 bit raw itself is unparalleled even now.   
    • Here, secondary education ends at age 17-18 - so a 4-year postsecondary degree would usually be achieved at age 21-22 - and, of course, an advanced degree would be additional time after the postsecondary. For people who go to a trade school, they are usually done with school by age 20.  I dropped out of college so I was done at age 19.
    • I think it’s just the American spelling of the word crater. And speaking of American education, how come some people are still at school in the US in their 20’s? They make us leave in the UK by age 18. They told me to go at 16. But I can still spell crater proply.
    • For active workouts with clear voice and minimal noise, try the RØDE Wireless Go Gen 3 or DJI Mic 2. Both are great for movement and clip easily around the neck. Just secure the mic and cable well to avoid rustling.
    • Indeed! Actually, the killer combo for the GF3, if we think of it like a tiny vintage film camera, is when it's paired with the Olympus 15mm F8 body cap lens. It is truly tiny.... In a sense it's an incredibly synergistic pairing, because it gives a 30mm FOV, which is wide enough to make any micro-jitters pretty minimal (especially if you add gate weave in post) and it's sharp, so the softness is just limited by the GF3, and it's deep DOF which fits with the 8mm look.  Without an ND you're also using the shutter to expose, which I understand is also how 8mm cameras worked? However, perhaps the killer aspect of it is the way you would use it.  You'd never use this as your main setup, so this would be a carry-everywhere low-stakes camera for having fun with.  It would be what you pull out when being silly with friends, or filming random things that aren't so formal.  In a way, that's how people might have used an 8mm camera back in the day, because they weren't inundated with video and didn't have the media savvy we all have now, so they would have just pointed their home movie cameras at whatever was happening. It's even got a lever that closes it for use in pockets, but it also works as a manual focus adjustment and close focus is something like 30cm / 12 inches which might even get a little bit of background blur (I can't recall) so it's quite versatile. The challenge is that the F8 aperture means it's basically no good after sunset or indoors, so that's the weakness.  Apart from that, this is perhaps the most likely setup I would use this with.  There's an F5.6 version from a different manufacturer that is tempting, but re-buying it for only one extra stop is a bit hard to swallow. Anyway, here's a video I shot with this combo quite some time ago.... I can't remember how I graded that, but I think I used a film emulation plugin that added a lot of softening in post, so don't take that as the limits of its resolving power.  It also shows a lot of rolling shutter, so maybe the strategy would be to have it on a strap around your neck and pull that tight when shooting to stabilise the camera a little. There is something about the extreme lack of technical performance that makes my brain think "well, this isn't going to win awards for literally anything, so ignore all the rules and just shoot and have fun!"
