    • Unfortunately the Beta phase via Testflight is full and you can't join anymore it seems. I hope it'll release soon to the AppStore as it's a lot more useful than the official Nikon app.
    • I think laying off 23% of it’s workforce has had a lot to do with the share price rising. Those finance vampires love people losing their jobs.
    • Yeah, agree with you, and you should have fun with your lens choices - some cool stuff in there. One thing you might have fun with is matching the 9mm PanaLeica to your less clinical lenses, I have the 9mm and it's incredibly sharp - my sharpest lens by a long shot I think.  Just remember, amateurs ask "what is the best way to sharpen your footage?" and the pros reply "actually, I soften the image on most projects I grade". I find the GH7 to be almost invisible, which seems bizarre when you consider the size and weight of it, but it's true.  With my AF zoom lenses I find a composition by eye, raise the camera, adjust the screen if required, adjust the zoom, hit the AF-ON for it to focus, check the histogram to make sure exposure is good and adjust vND or ISO if required, then hit record. With manual lenses I do the same thing but normally hit record then manually focus the lens.  In situations where the light isn't that variable, it's just a matter of vND -> hit record -> focus.  It's like the camera is just a screen and a record start/stop button on it, and the rest of the action happens on the lens and in front of the camera. The experience is more like I'm operating a lens rather than operating a camera. People talk about how complicated the menus are in this camera or that camera and TBH I don't really know what they're talking about.  You buy a camera, work out what modes you might be interested in, test them, then choose which mode you'll use and save that to a profile, and from that point on the camera is essentially a box where you only adjust something once in a blue moon. The reviewers act like you're taking one shot in 48p 5.7K Prores HQ V-LOG and the next in 23.976p 1080p h264 HLG and the next in 30p C4K h265 in Sepia or some BS.   Quick - the bride is about to walk down the aisle - change settings!  Why can't I assign the shadow slider in the picture profile menu to a hot button?!?  It would save me so much grief!!
    • Their share price is up by 170 % compared to a nasty low in March so I think your theory is right ! Put on a show for the shareholders and speculators !!! They have lost market share as well 
    • https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1964095-REG/gopro_mission_1_pro_ils.html A "dumb" m43 mount on 1"? Honestly, from my perspective, it's a perfectly fine idea.  If people out there don't understand why a dumb m43 mount is going onto a 1" sensor, those folks can just stick with GPro's fixed lens offerings.  For those that know how to utilize the tool, it'll be fine and even a bit more than adequate -- as the people that'll use this gear/mount aren't really fretting about AF or e-iris. The big thing here, I think, is that with adapters you can put anything on there now. FF to C-mount. Hell, go back decades and buy some of the lenses camera companies were putting on their NTSC video cams, if that would work.   Whatever.   That said, my speculation is that they're not even that interested in this camera doing anything special sales-wise in the marketplace. Most likely this iteration of their product is a loss leader put out there for bragging rights. Basically, like, "Look, our products are a serious cinematic tool now!" "Lenses!" "Prestigious-Lens-Brand-This!"  "Prestigious-Lens-Brand-That!"  The real value in that sort of BS, in this era of YT marketing, is more than worthwhile. As for sensor size, the best footage I ever filmed in my life was captured on 1" sensors.  So, it's hard for me to by too concerned about a small'ish sensor -- as far as that ever matters anyway.
