I watched that video and instantly didn't regret unsubscribing from the PetaPixel YouTube channel. I think I lost 3 IQ points watching the dumb infotainment of two adult humans whining about cameras that someone let them use for free, especially about some of the petty shit they cite as an example. That one Olympus was too big? Who cares? They also make/made smaller cameras if that's what you want. Plus they didn't even get creative when picking "worst designed" cameras - would have been more interesting to go with potentially revolutionary cameras that couldn't live up to the hype - throw out stuff like the Lytro and the Light L16. It'd still be a dumb video, but at least there's some interest in it.

The colors from DJI and/or Insta360 also look fantastic, I'm sure, after a professional colorist spends some quality time with them. It's still best to wait until the cameras are in the hands of normal users before starting to evaluate. Otherwise, if GP wants to release some footage that looks like that and they will certify that it's straight out of camera, I'll place a preorder right now.

Let's keep the debate goin' ...Can't wait for the next great prompt artist to really bring their vision to the screen. No one prompts as well as that Vogel dude. That guy prompts. Why try to create a golden hour scene when you can just ask for it? :-| Nothing says artistic cinema like a computer deriving and stealing other's hard work. Do we go to an art museum to look at someone's paint-by-numbers? The creation matters. Now let's do motion pictures. Cinema has always been craft as well as the art. Minimize the craft, minimized the art.

Expeed 8 release must be getting close. Expeed 7-October 2021 in Z9 Expeed 6-August 2018 in Z7 Expeed 5 in January 2016

Here you have straight from Mr. Vogel, Mike Vogel, Milady:

Kudos and fingers crossed. Looks like much more promising indeed from his noble background.

So far. Let's see soon what comes here next. Low light and overheating have been their Achilles' heel.

How so? The colours look fantastuc!

Highly unlikely they'll produce two versions. More than likely you purchase the base kit which is basically a GoPro and then for X dollars more you can purchase the cinema kit which will be a new faceplate that has some type of mount. Probably a weird bayonet or c-mount. From there, they'll sell you adapters to PL, EF, etc... The screen will go away on the cine plate but they may leave an hdmi port for a monitor. Once you unsnap the faceplate, you can unplug the screen which you can reconnect to the hdmi port... or whatever. Either way, interesting camera.

Pretty sure your guess is right : ) Would anything else make more sense nowadays? And here's the most recent teaser just released one day ago. 11.3 million subscribers there... WOW Twice the number of DJI and 8x the number of Insta360... Anything else to say? ; ) 'cause as of now, Insta360 and DJI action cameras clearly beat theirs.

replicate the simplicity of iMovie HD with some modern tools.

Haha, "paid promoters of newness."

I’m probably biased as both a Nikon Df user and someone who thinks these two are pricks but even so I wasn’t sure that my contempt towards these two could get any bigger but here we are. They even went after the Leica CL. Of course if any of the cameras on their list was released today they would be shilling the shit out of it. Because that’s what they are, paid promoters of newness. No new gear, no pay day. Not exactly overflowing with content about great used alternatives that channel is it ? And that tells you all you need to know about them as a serious resource.

Here is the "Retro Foto House" mod done in Ukraine

I've been a user of (Sonic Foundry/Sony/Magix) Vegas since it evolved into video editing software in 2000 (the first version was audio-only). Although I've strayed away from it a few times over the intervening 25 years, I've always gone back to it because I like the way it works. I'm currently running (Magix) version 22, the first BorisFX version is Vegas Pro 2026 (derived from Magix version 23). It's MS Windows-only though...

This guy has made a great tool to make Resolve super easy to use. In his examples he makes pretty great looking grades within seconds, and it's all done inside the EDIT page, using the viewer as a slider canvas. Drag up for more, drag down for less.

Just follow the instruction manual. : D

"See through you we can" Even Their opening frame looks like click bait,and the content just adds to decline of reputation.Tony "North by Northwest" bagged out Nikon years ago when it was obvious he was being wined and dined by Canon.Go Tony fade into your background blur.

Nikon has a new boss An optics engineer... not an accountant. Wishing him well for the future...

Been using the GH6 with the cheap 7artisans 24mm 1.4. I really like the lens, are there any other 7artisans hidden gems?

Jordan is filming on Aizu primes in his bedroom. These are $8000 lenses for a YouTube talking head So he's a guy who knows a thing or two about creativity. But the cameras they have picked for this video make you wonder whether the fundamental judgement is there or not. They must have had their hands on just about every camera now, so aren't lacking in experience. The Nikon Df is also in their slagging off list along with the lovely X-Pro3! The Df... That's a bloody wonderful little tool to use, a pure pleasure and hands down the best optical viewfinders you can get - better than most pro level DSLRs, so unique in that respect. And it's really pretty. The Olympus E-M1X is one of the most ergonomic and nice to hold camera designs ever made. Chris acknowledges this yet it's the main focus of the YT thumbnail Best grip ever, built like a tank, really fast and flawless stabilisation. It stands head and shoulders above the ergonomics of the G9 II or Panasonic full frame bodies of 2026. I just don't get these guys... Dumb as fuck.

"If you build it, he will come"

Gotta find a retired old dude that's now an aspiring guitarist -- that used to work in production in the 90's and happens to be sitting on a closet full of short ends. Shouldn't be too hard, right?
