    • The clearest sign yet that people's critical thinking might be in a dodgy place... 7K RAW on a content creator's camera with a tripod mount to shoot in portrait orientation. Now let's remind ourselves: Why do people shoot vertical video - because of phones How big is a phone screen - Erm, about 7 inches tall How much resolution is 7K in vertical format... 1000 dots per inch! What DPI are the best flagship phone displays? Well, iPhone 17 Pro Max is 2868 ×1320, so about 450dpi, and that is overkill already because to make out the individual pixels you need a microscope. Those Instagram stories never looked so good.
    • Well, that intern got Panasonic 20 hours of clear air, but the intern from Canon that chose when to announce the R6V only managed to get about an hour before Sony released the A7R VI, so I guess everything is relative! Still, they're all for different audiences and at different price points etc.  A $1500 P&S vs a $2500 FF camera vs a $4500 67MP beast.  I doubt many people went "oh no, I preordered the L10 but the Sony has higher resolution - pre-order cancelled!" 
    • I think it's quite exciting, for someone who skipped the Sony a7r V for video because of the slow sensor and terrible rolling shutter in 8K, I can finally embrace it fully without any silly deal breakers. It's also going to really help the price of the original a1 drop to sensible amounts. Already the lovely a1 OG is <£2200 on eBay from Japan. This is highest resolution stacked sensor yet though... 68 vs 50mp, $2000 less than an a1 Mark II, DGO and a new, absolute chonk of a battery, plus new EVF - possibly the best ever on a Sony - and an EOS R5 Mark II price to match. Finally Sony are not deluding themselves that everything high-end they do should be 6 or 7 grand. Would it be nice if it had real-time LUTs, open gate, anamorphic and raw codec? Yes, but as an all-rounder it ain't bad is it? I am not in the least interested in 2500Mbit codec file sizes when H.265 looks as good as it does in 2026. S1R II for me is tempting for open gate and the LUTs, but it's got too many deal-breakers where the Sony hasn't. The mount, for a start. And the a7r VI autofocus I bet is stunning.
    • Looks decent and loved my A7RV, but I have nailed my colours to the LUMIX mast for what remains of my career. But if I did switch, it would be to Nikon. Or Leica. Or dammit, maybe even Canon. Or possibly Sony actually. The simple reality is they all make good shit these days. Remaining a Lumix bro, - it does what I need it to do.
    • Another stroke of Lumix’s marketing genius. They were hoping for a full 24 hours of limelight, but the intern responsible for product launches only had 10 fingers and 10 toes to count with.
