It is a friendship, just a very transactional one. Only in this case the prostitute is not waiting patiently in Knightsbridge at a fancy bar. It's me. -
Here’s a little tip for anyone being gaslit into believing they are friends with a corporation. Friends don’t have to threaten friends with a €35K fine for releasing their free marketing material a few minutes early. Friends don’t even have to ask. -

I know why moiré and aliasing occurs and of course there are differences but as someone who has had important shots ruined by it and a as someone with a heavy addiction I’ve owned and tested more cameras than what is considered to be sane. And I can tell you this: a good olpf clearly makes a whole lot of difference both with regards to moiré suppression and the texture of details in the image. Canon R5(c) and the Sony A9iii has stood out to me when it comes to this. The whole A9-series have very good OLPFs and the latest iteration is no exception. Canon usually does well in the cinema department too and the perfect downscaled 8K to 4K and an OLPF is very effective on the R5-series. There is a reason the Sony Venice and the Alexas have dedicated teams who only work on producing the most effective OLPF possible. -

At the start of this Canadian video somebody says that although Panasonic paid for their hotel, travel and lunch, and that they rubbed shoulders with Panasonic people and consider them friends, that definitely in no way influences the positive opinions they have about Panasonic's products, which is nicely convenient, imagine how embarrassing it would be otherwise. No matter which way the client YouTubers spin it, the S1 II price is too high and it is being released at least 2 years too late (and that is being kind, as the original was a 2018 launch). My problem with it is not the extensive feature set and specs, it's that huge 7 year gap and the pricing strategy, along with the rest of the product strategy which is batshit crazy, and I put my money where my mouth is by refusing the invite by Panasonic to go and praise it along with a bunch of client social media click weasels. There are so many similar options with better lens mounts to choose from now. And the complexity is not always a good thing. Look at how much more fun the Sigma Bf is or the minimalist Leica approach. Had the S1 II been 2.5k and the year was 2022... Sign me up. But as it is, I am going to pass. May get an S9 again though as it's now under a grand, it's a fun toy. With regards to the 51st state of shilling, if you just ignore the impact this is having on independent media, the non-embargoed opinions and journalism as a whole, then it's a perfectly mediocre review that can fit on a single side of a4. If you get big picture though, it's near enough fascism. An entire media platform singing in tune under a corporate embargo. Charlie Brooker should make a Black Mirror episode out of it. I might write one myself. It would be far more enjoyable than making your average 2025 camera 'review'. -
