A lot of this criticism assumes that value only comes from personally inventing things or never having bad ideas. That’s not how execution works. Ideas are cheap. Execution is what matters. Plenty of people had ideas about reusable rockets, EVs, satellite internet, or brain–computer interfaces long before Musk. What almost no one managed to do was turn those ideas into working, scaled systems in industries where startups usually fail. SpaceX didn’t win because Musk designs fuel tanks. It won because it executed faster and cheaper than legacy aerospace giants with decades of experience. Tesla didn’t invent EVs, but it forced the entire auto industry to electrify years earlier than planned. Starlink is the largest satellite constellation ever deployed, providing connectivity where no real alternative existed. Yes, he has bad ideas. Every aggressive executor does. The difference is that his companies survive them and still outperform competitors. You don’t have to like Musk — but dismissing his role because he isn’t the inventor misses what execution actually means.

Yet it would not exist without him.

Thanks for the very open-minded and respectful exchange.

This reply feels unnecessarily hostile. We can disagree about Musk or his companies without resorting to personal attacks. I was simply sharing a perspective.

Well honestly I am not sure the old style of politics was even better. Before social media, there was TV and newspapers (there still is). And the story was very onesided. Allthough they claim to be impartial, they were/are def not. And classic media was more easy to control. (yet also easy to pay ads for social media..) For example, I read an article about Elon Musk gets 96% more negative media coverage (not sure who wrote it or funded the research, but in my experience it def feels true). The man is a wacko, sure, but he is def the n1 executing entrepreneur who pushing the world towards the future. (spacex, tesla, starlink, x, neuralink, ...) The media criticizes every step he does and reposts it daily. Yet he saves 2 astronauts, and its almost crickets everywhere unless you are looking for that specific news. Offcourse bashing/hatefull posts get more attention over positive news, and that might also have an big part of the (human) problem.

Crazy times, the UK lately has also been batshit crazy, now europe wants to introduce digital euro. Some politicians in Belgium wanted to approve an AI that scans all bank accounts of citizens to find frauds... I can't understand who finds this a good idea??

I wonder when the first comparison video's will turn up. Would love to see some side by sides. Not sure why there are 30 video reviews out there from people just talking about the camera without comparing it to other camera's. Specs on paper is one thing. but I want see comparision against other camera's (IQ, (crop or no crop), AF, stabilisation,...) Still think the nikon zr got the rest beat IQ wise. But would love to see it perform against the R6III, nikon zr and the panasonic s1II.

Don't all sony cameras do this?

I seem to be missing why this camera is so amazing, sure good update from the A7IV, but nothing groundbreaking. Or does anything to blow the competition out of the water.

Sell so did blackmagic. And the image from that camera is pretty amazing. Allthough I will never have an need anything above 4k.

Yeah I hope canon, sony or panasonic would just buy up ARRI just for its patents. Like Nikon did with RED (the nikon ZR looks amazing). If somebody would buy up ARRI and trickle down their patents in a 2K body they would own the filmmaker space and these camera's would fly off the shelves. (Event video etc might be a different game, where fast AF is more important, but heck these big 3 companies already have decent enough AF today as is). But sadly also a sign that the old ways of working is done for. AI will eat lunches, social media has killed traditional video jobs (artfull and skillfull). watching TV has declined, watching slop filmed with an iphone with crazy transitions and bad lighting has become the norm. (as it feels more real to the consumers, and I get that, but also sad to see jobs, careers and also art plummet). Even the actual movies that are being release over the last 15 yeras have been disneyfied. (cute animal, jokes, woke characters, ...) Not sure if anyone watched the new predator movie. The beginning of the film was great, and the ending was great, but man the middle part with bud, woke synthetics and the friendship arc just sucked.

Not for weddings/event videos you think? Looking for a faster setup.

Yeah they should price the s1ii in the nikon zr ballpark. Or even less.. Now the canon r6 iii also seems pretty nice and even that camera is cheaper then the s1ii.. Nikon and canon are much more known and if the camera's somewhat similar people are choosing canon or nikon, just for the name alone.

These look really good. Looking forward to the comparison video's of the nikon zr, canon r6iii, panadonic s1ii and I guess still the sony a7siii. (Would get the s1ii for the ibis, nikon zr for the monitor and IQ(but fear the datarates), hope the r6iii has similar IQ as the zr and good ibis, and the a7siii/fx3 is still somewhat industry standard which has benefits like lots of good luts available). + I still own a bunch of EF glass which really works well on panasonic. (Adapting it to sony kinda sucked back in the day, nikon not sure, canon should be pretty flawless I guess)

Wedding seems like of one the safe plays right now. People who want to get married still want actual photo/video.
