Yeah, it does make me wonder if an an "old-fashioned-internet" niche' might be vitalized amongst subgroups to allow a viable market? Can it ever get boutique, avoid the corporate sadness of '"scale", and yet be worthwhile to those scurrying away to their quieter corners? -

Agreed, I can't believe no one is talking about the only(?) camera to have native autofocus with manual/PL lenses. I guess we're too busy talking about YouTubers here these days. To me, the Vega H2 checks every feature box, so I'm excited to see if the image is usable. Too bad Blackmagic can't make a Pyxis 12k with that form factor, that would really be and endgame camera. The main issue with Bosma is that I won't consider any cameras that don't shoot log formats that are supported by Resolve's color management, which I somewhat doubt will happen. I'm not interested in GoPro, but the other standout of NAB is the RodeLink II, which checks every lav box for me. If they come out with an plug on XLR transmitter with simultaneous record/transmit and phantom power, it'll be the last audio recorder I ever buy. -
This is interesting to see whether internal H.265 will be better than shooting R3D NE and converting it to H.265 RED Log3G10 with 500Mbps bitrate in Resolve. R3D NE bitrates are not that bad, but not having the possibility to save trimmed R3D NE files as R3D NE is THE problem. Shame on Nikon and RED if they don’t fix this. With NRaw it works, so it is up to RED SDK to support R3D NE trim. -

Exactly, he chose to play the PR game instead with Sony and a few others, chose to focus 100% of his enthusiasm on YouTube studio tours and YouTube gear setups, there was never any interest evident in filmmaking or photography, which is strange as these are usually the thing people get most excited about! Even more strange was even after so many years of using the gear, he couldn't seem to shoot decent footage - which for me, shows that he never practiced it. Even if you're not naturally talented you can still become pretty proficient at aiming a lens. What also kills passion is having no immediate community to engage over it with (in real life) and it all being online. It might be that he's boxed into a clinical suburban environment with his wife and doesn't have that environment of fellow camera nerd enthusiasts around him where he lives, it only exists online. -

His choice... It's always a choice. Needless to say there's only so long you can go on liking cameras but never shooting anything with them. And the social media skit can make one thin skinned and insecure - people look up to you like a God, which is ridiculous, or tear you down - not much in-between. So while part of me understands The Gerald Dilemma, the main part of me thinks, well, he chose to milk it for all it was worth didn't he? And it was a very privileged position that many would kill to be in, he could have used it as a springboard into an artistic career, but there wasn't an artist inside, nothing on the springy board. The problem is the system. YouTube / Alphabet is a billion dollar industry based off the hard work of content creators, who get a very small share of the overall pie and Google's Ad Business the lion's share. The internet has pivoted from a place where the artist owned the platform themselves (own website, own server) thus able to keep the benefits of 100% of their labour, to big tech owning the platforms and us becoming mere commodities as consumers/creators in a hive mind, whereas before we were founders, builders and owners as well as artists. The shift is noticeable in the language too. In 2012 we were all saying 'filmmakers' or 'musicians', but now everybody is lumped in together as a 'content creator', which got shortened even further to simply 'creator'. It's really dystopian shit. This is at the heart of what created The Gerald Dilemma - being a little pawn in a PR machine and ad industry rather than an individual. Being on a treadmill of content creation for the benefit mainly of big tech platforms. I don't see how anyone can take any personal satisfaction from it other than the money.
