    • Honestly i thought i was generalizing, i don't believe i was accusing you of piracy. Apologies to you, if you thought that.  Well not a music concert but we just had kylie Minogue do the half time entertainment at the afl grand final. I would expect out of the 100 000 crowd probably 95000 filmed that section with their smart phones. I doubt any of them would be accredited, I would have too, if i'd been there... 🥰 Hopefully the emoji displays properly as i been having issues with those little suckers.. I presume there would be licencing agreements and financial arrangements between the afl and tv stations about video copyright. I suppose neither group like the idea of having potentially a 100 000 smart phones or a smaller amount of cameras at the event but there's probably not much that can be done about it within reason. I could certainly see them getting agitated at someone wandering in with a 600mm lens without prior arrangement and i don't have a problem with that. I suspect a 600mm lens comes under "professional use" rather normal use or casual use.  Personally i can see three use cases, for cameras at events, maybe you can think of more. 1) I can show my friends and family without issue that i was there having a good time 2) I could take a ten second selfie of my ugly mug and a very small pixelated kylie strutting her stuff in the background for a vlog, again no real issues.  3) I could conceivably somehow sneak a small monopod, a modern mirrorless camera with two forms of stabilization and a 10 times zoom and have at it, without paying a large chunk of money to either company and reproducing it on my social medium of choice. How to make money out of it, i have no idea. Maybe its not about the money, it could be the likes i guess or even giving the finger to the establishment. What people do and why, continues to amaze me at times. But i think we could both agree, due to intent, option 3 is wrong (probably on many levels) Initially i read this and had no idea what you were alluding to. Blame linguistics. semantics, continental drift..  In hindsight i missed the emoji as it didn't display for me properly, i now suspect what you said was tongue in cheek, it seems i misunderstood your meaning and jumped to the wrong conclusion, which may have led to the piracy issue you raised, sorry about that.   Any time there is money involved or to be made, people are going to get antsy if they think their missing out. I suspect if you hosted an event free or otherwise and were the only person organised to cover that event and expected a financial return from publishing online and i rock up with my 8k gopro on a gimbal and wave it around and you find my video online for a small fee or even free later that evening, you'd be a little agitated, your not going to give me a medal.  
    • For me it works on Sony ZV-E1 without external USB power with HDMI connection only. In fact it is the only camera I tried that can do this. I don't think there is something special with the connection between the camera and the EVF. The EVF has a very small button that controls the brightness of the screen. I've noticed that it works only after certain level of brightness is reached. Try increasing the brightness of the EVF LCD and see if this can make it work.
    • some client work i did this year that switches between nicer video camera - iphone and minidv:  i think the artifacts from minidv are really cool in an age of constant video recordings from phones and mirrorless cameras. the built in super long zooms on these old camcorders are also super useful. 
    • It's surprising to me because I was around for the early digital cameras and then the quality wasn't considered "good" and we hoped for something better in the future. I think it's nostalgic for someone younger though. Their baby pictures were taken with these things and to them, not me, it brings back a time.  So, I get it. But the Charmera does not look like film. It looks like early digital camera.s Which is cool. I don't like the jello-cam rolling shutter on the videos, but again, for some people that's nostalgic. Object-wise, I've never seen a Charmera in person but seems like it's fun. In a culture in which having fashion accessories matters, then it makes sense. If you're the cool kid with the little clicky device then you're considered cool.  I think the lack of screen gives a sense of chance. You won't know until later just how (bad) it turned out.  Anyway, it's fun and I think it's a cool thing. Someday I'll find one at a thrift store for five bucks and I'll probably get it.  So, this interest in early digicams has made me re-asses my drawer of mostly broken pocket digitals I've collected over the years. I went through it and found a small Nikon Coolpix S570. 12Megapixals, 5 times zoom.  Not broken. I think I stopped using it because I wanted something that saved in raw. This only has JPEG. Anyways, I've been shooting with it and it's nice. Not good in low light though. The JPEG compression isn't bad. It's kinda fun and it's nice having a zoom lens. (My phone doesn't have one.)
    • I did a few more tests this morning. I wanted to check the 4K IQ, and I tried everything I could to induce moiré, but to no avail. I scrutinized the Red, Green, and Blue channels as well, and the results were impressive. I'm fairly certain it's due to the image processing because it blows away the already respectable 4K image from my Panasonic GX800. And all of my tests were done with HyperSmooth on; it only gets better with it off. I also tried my Konica 300mm f/4.5 on a tripod in 8K. I'm not sure there's much point in using 8K for distant landscapes, but for closer subjects, why not? I still think 4K looks just as good. One thing this camera is not is a 1080p camera. IMO, they should let us use 10-bit in 1080p, but they don't. Also, when you switch to 1080p, it changes the color profile too. You have to go back and reset it when you resume shooting in 4K or 8K. I think I'll just stay away from the 1080p modes unless I really need the 480fps and up.
