Piracy?! That is quite a leap from what I actually wrote. Yes, you later qualify it by talking about personal use, but you were the one who introduced “event video piracy” and making money from unaccredited shooting into a discussion where I had said nothing of the sort. For the record, I have never made a single cent from piracy in my life. And “not accredited” does not automatically mean “unauthorised” either. There are plenty of public concerts and events, including free ones, where there is no meaningful accreditation process in the first place. Sometimes they are organised or supported by public bodies and the whole situation is simply very different from a ticketed arena show with a tightly controlled press pit. And even at paid concerts, anyone who has actually spent years moving from one professional job to another with a camera in his hand will know exactly what I mean about the arrogance you can sometimes encounter from press offices. Being treated like cattle while being moved in and out, told where to stand, allowed three songs, then pushed out of the pit or backstage as though the people actually doing the camera work were an inconvenience. You really have to have worked with a camera in your hand to understand what I mean by that ; ) And that brings me to something the video world has a curious habit of forgetting: hey, still photography exists! : P Photographers, to be fair, can be equally guilty of forgetting motion : X A concert is not only something to be filmed. It is something to be photographed as well and photography, in motion or not, at its best, is art < 3 Then, of course, there is DSMC. Stands for Digital Still and Motion Camera. Perhaps you've heard of it : ) I don't know where you were when Jim Jannard and Jarred Land were already pushing that idea nearly twenty years ago, but I remember very well where I was and what I was already doing ;- ) The distinction between “stills” and “video” has been breaking down for a very long time. Which is precisely why something like this Huawei or the other Honor, posted in another thread, is still fairly interesting to me. Not because of piracy, for sure! (how easily people can pull the trigger on conclusions coming entirely from their own minds is beyond me! : ) but because it potentially gives you a serious imaging tool without immediately putting you inside the usual professional-access cage. And since you brought money into the discussion: if you ever feel like contributing to my income, you're more than welcome to put something from my actual work in the shopping basket ; ) With a bit of luck, it might even arrive signed not only by the alleged “pirate” himself LOL but also by the rock star the pirate photographed. And who knows, since he's a rock star, perhaps his autograph might even become collectible enough for you to sell it on eBay for a profit someday : D Now that would be such a commercial transaction! : P (E. :- ) The Waterboys / Mike Scott (posted on EOSHD), 2024 -

I'd say it's a similar experience to your Olympus (I've had many of those, too). I will say that the colors look rather strange on the back of the screen when using peaking. I start with the lens's distance scale, then confirm with peaking. If you need critical focus, use the double-tap method. Of course, it all depends on your resolution. 8K is much harder than 4K. Shallow DOF can be achieved with this camera, but you will undoubtedly miss shots. Still, I prefer the simplicity of being intentional rather than fighting "AI" algorithms. It's far easier for me to live with screwing it up myself than having some engineer "imagine" what I'll be shooting 10000km away and program the computer to do it—and have it fail sometimes. -
Lets just remember its basically an action camera that had fixed focus for the longest time. Gopro are to be lauded for giving us a mount that allows different lenses, maybe not every lens in the world, but an improvement on what came before. I look at like, baby steps, its a start. Getting af and every other modern lens feature would be akin to putting another man on the moon i think. Probably not doable for $700 us I suspect electronics and af motors in the lens would probably drain the battery pretty quick. The mission 1 does have better battery life, i guess GoPro didn't want to jeopardise that for a pretty niche product. Well i think of af as a pretty niche product, for the longest time cinema cameras didn't have af, realistically af is a fairly new development. No doubt lots of people will argue about it but i have gotten used to peaking and for me no af is a abit of a non event anyway. -
Emanuel, drop anything from a suitable height and you'll get results... although i wont go into detail about how to maximise your results... pink floyd once did a bootleg of the bootleggers taken from their concerts. Considering the price of tickets for these events these days aren't cheap. I feel it should probably come with a digital download after the event. I don't condone for want of a better phrase err... event video piracy however if its a 1 off event and its for personal use like nostalgia then i feel thats ok, however it you make a living from filming events and aren't accredited then thats just wrong.

I don't know if I have any cameras that record in 8-bit at this point, but I can certainly poke around a little. Worst case, I could go even lower-fi and just shoot it on the PXL-2000.
