    • I don't regret jumping to full frame. The S5 and S5II X have treated me well and both are really good values. It was the right choice at the time, for a multitude of reasons. BUT if I'd known that the G9 II and GH7 were in the pipeline I probably would've stayed with M43. The main benefit for me has been the better low light, but these newer M43 cameras are pretty darn good at that. FF still has an edge, but it's not a huge one. I also don't typically do a lot of work where I need really shallow depth of field. Often times I'm closing the lense down to get similar results to what I got when filming on M43, except these lenses are much heavier and more expensive than the ones I used on my GH5, G85, and GX85 bodies. I could fit all my lenses in a bag and it didn't weigh much at all. The same definitely cannot be said for my FF lenses! The stabilization, to my eye, also looks a lot better on the G9II and GH7 than my S5 and S5II X.  I hope Lumix keeps M43 alive and even gets back to innovating with the system. A return to smaller bodies, and possibly even smaller lenses, would definitely pique my interest. I don't know that I'd ever jump back into the system completely, but I could see myself buying a couple lenses and a body if it was compelling enough. 
    • That new Fooj does look interesting… Utterly gimmicky for sure, but a great way to get folks at an event actually going to your website after the fact. It’s like a SteamPunk TikTok gen business card machine!  
    • Happy new year everyone, been a bit chaotic here. My mum fell over and broke a leg, Thats thrown a spanner in the works for the last 9 weeks. Things are slowly getting back to normal. Theres now 16 bits of metal holding here leg together, 17 if you count the drill bit that broke off inside...  Had a bit of brain fade with the e-m1 iii battery. Somehow i ordered a bln-1 battery and dummy battery which is in the middle of the photo. e-m1 on the left and em10 on the right. which doesn't fit anything i have and i'm a bit disappointed with my self for messing that up. My second attempt at a battery was cancelled and refunded, however the stars aligned for the third attempt and i now have an extra e-m1 battery.  Yay   Another almost fail was buying a metabones speedbooster.  It was an ex rental although it looks immaculate. My issue is there is no glass.  Going back through the order it seems like i miss read the description.  I can only presume i bought this late at night ...  Still its well engineered great tolerances and rock solid on the camera. If i'm honest its a better mount than the other no name  ef to mft adapter i have. So the hunt for a speed booster continues.   Not sure if this counts as a xmas present, however a Zhiyun focus motor turned up yesterday  I'm excited to get this installed onto the zhiyun gimbal, but that will have to wait till later as i have some fencing to do before it gets too hot.      
    • Then you'd probably like DSMC3.  Standard batteries, standard CF Express cards, etc. If the CFE card isn't on the compatibility list, you'll get a warning, but then the camera will let you try to record whatever quality you want.
    • @MrSMW yea, once clients trust your taste and the look becomes part of what they’re hiring you for, baking it in just makes sense. It shifts the work from “fixing” to actually shooting with intent. I’ve found it especially useful on doc and news style projects where speed matters and consistency is more important than endless options later. As long as the look is designed thoughtfully up front, it’s hard to want to go back.
