    • Again, this is an intensely wrong justification.  And there's not a single tool that was ever invented that some person didn't immediately start misusing.  It only took from July to August for my own country to go from demonstrating nuclear fission to dropping a fission bomb on a city full of civilians. The perceived benefit of "now people don't have to pay artists to do work" is not really a benefit at all and the massive harm caused of "society can't function at all without a shared view of objective reality" is much, much worse.  That's before we even mention the other harms being done in the forum of pollution, water use, higher energy bills, and higher costs for many products due to datacenters gobbling up all available storage and RAM. So again, it's not "just another tool" so much as it's an "existential crisis for humanity."
    • When setting up the ZR with the camera-specific Smallrig cage, there is space at the bottom of the cage to pull the battery and cards out, if needed. I think the ZR's main applications are not in large rigs but where the small form factor is advantageous.    Hopefully Prores 422 LT will be suitable as a compromise format to make the camera more useful for those who cannot use the RAW formats. I personally like to shoot Prores 422 HQ 4K on the Z8 and although the files are huge they are not quite as huge as (with that camera) the N-RAW 8.2K, and I like having built-in lens corrections applied to the video file. 
    • Hey all, quick follow-up after having purchased the C50 and using it couple days. The customization is seriously one of the best parts. I have EIS toggle, S&F, teleconverter, display brightness boost, view assist, WFM, false color all on physical buttons so they're instant. Then the touch quick cine menu overlay lets me flip through frame rates, codec, resolution and recording settings super fast without leaving shooting view. It just feels like one of the quickest cameras I've used in real life. Open gate 3:2 is still my absolute favorite thing. The aspect ratio looks fresh and having that extra vertical headroom for reframing or pulling stills is addictive. Being able to shoot 7K open gate in 10-bit h265 at only 486Mbps in the lowest bitrate is a great data rate to resolution ratio. The digital zoom via the rocker switches is the other standout. Light press for slow creep, hard press for fast punch, with separate speed curves for each. It's so tactile and controllable, and it makes punch-ins on primes feel intentional instead of a crop hack. The top handle is really cool too. It gives better balance and a two-handed grip so handheld shake is noticeably reduced, especially low angles or longer takes. But what's even cooler is how modular it is. Snap it off and the camera becomes super compact for travel, storage or quick discreet shots. Having the choice is great. Still working on stabilization. EIS helps when it's on, but you get that slight crop and occasional motion blur artifacts unless I crank shutter angle to 90° or 45° (which I do now). EIS is disabled in open gate 3:2 so those shots are raw shaky until post. Gyroflow should handle it but I'm still having trouble getting it to recognise the camera or lens. Anyone knows how to manually set it up? Any tricks for getting the gyro data to load properly? Still in early testing phase but overall the camera feels fast, intentional and pro in a way that keeps me shooting.  Cheers!
    • That’s a category error: the tool isn’t the harm, misuse is. You can’t break it. Go full Quijote aka Quixote (who is who? LOL Never mind X )   Much of this sounds like corporate self-preservation dressed up as principle. History has a name for that drift: corporatism. Well, something Europe flirted with in the 1930s ; ) It didn’t end well; Portugal even wore the label officially. We’ve seen where it leads.   Who we claim to be is irrelevant; what we do is what makes us. We aren’t what we say we are. We’re defined by what our hands actually show. Or reveal. Identity is cheap. Deeds are the proof.   Fear’s a bitch.   - EAG
    • The smug "it's just another tool" takes are, without a doubt, the most offensively stupid ones. Yes, ignore the huge amount of societal harm that is inflicted by a tool that lets any jackass instantly create a nearly perfect deepfake of any other person on the planet, right down to their voice and manner of speaking, and it is indeed "just a tool."  While we're at it, let's just give the average person access to thermonuclear bombs which are, of course, "basically just another weapon" and "only bad if someone blows them up ."
