@Django the ‘crippling’ I was referring to (for want of a better term) was the lack of IBIS in the C50 killed it for my needs and the rear LCD on the R6iii. Not that the latter would have saved it for me but the C50 had HUGE appeal to me but IBIS is absolutely fundamental to me. And the Sigma BF, yup, it’s a piece of jewellery. I really hoped they would have developed the FP and added a couple of features it was missing for me such as IBIS and a tilt screen. Re. the ZR, I also think it’s a bit overhyped at the moment and has a few missing elements, but for price especially, has been the ‘best’ overall release of 2025. At least so far, - Sony are popping their next A7 out later this month if the smoke from the Dolomites is correct and they may pull a surprise? My interest and commentary is more an impartial one. I’m 99% happy with the gear I have but at the same time if something else comes along that is quantifiably better (for my needs) and it’s financially doable, I am going to at least check it out. Right now, I’d like the C50 body and spec but with the ZR screen, (the size & res of it anyway but would prefer a tilt or fully articulated) with with Z or E Mount and the IBIS and video tools of LUMIX. Maybe one day someone will get it right for me and it all exists, just not in any single brand or camera! The closest is probably Nikon… -
More blogging... So i bought an ipad 13 inch m3, i know there's a 4 out and the 5 is coming. Couldn't really justify the cost of the ipad 4 and couldn't be bothered waiting for the 5 and the cost of that little beastie. However i wanted something that had the " extra chip / processing on board for video" and the m3 has it i believe. Curious has anyone else got an ipad and what do they use it for ? Apart from a couple of pictures of some roses i haven't done much with it. Waiting for a cage to arrive to give it some protection before i let it out into the wild... Hard to believe this thing is only 5-6 mm thick. So far i'm pretty happy with it, but you'd expect that with any new toy.. Apparently it doesn't have the best screen apple make, but i reckon its still a very nice screen. Sooc er... Ipad i mean. I'm no pixel peeper apart from wanting to know what to expect. Thats about as far as i take it. Colours seem ok to me and there's some out of focus happening but that might be from the close focus i reckon but still pleasing i think. I can't watch much on the iphone 13 apart from some youtube occasionally or if i have just used the iphone to capture some video as its always in my pocket and convenient, sad but true. The Ipad 13 inch is much more watchable from my perspective, others may disagree. I got the 13 inch just for the extra screen real estate and so far I'm not disappointed. I initially bought it to help with reading sheet music as my music station has outgrown the desktop and is now 6 meters removed from where it used to live. I did consider adding a second screen run from the desktop. however its a beast of a computer and its overkill to run it just for music practice and i figure there's other options available that i can use the ipad for as well. May need to purchase one of those microfiber cloths, a cotton rag seems to struggle and leave lint or fibers. I also bought an extra small rig 17mm threaded adapter plate, i'm hopeful that i can mount to the cage i bought and attach some lenses for additional fun.. the neewer probe lens does an ok job for a camera phone, i mostly use it with the iphone 13 in a cage. Not impressed with the flaring but its manageable and it does suck up alot of light, but it is one third or less the price of a real "probe" lens. -
Does anyone know if the body and the button layout are identical to the Mark II? Have any shilltubers said anything about it? -
Nope. Approx 20 days of shooting with temps up to mid 30 Celsius and cameras get warm, especially in direct sunlight as all black bodied cameras do, but not a single overheating warning, never mind a shut down. No lock ups either. Well might have been one now I think about it but had more than that on my A7RV I had prior and a none issue. Most of the overheating talk is from; folks unfamiliar with the camera in the first place + use age of non-recommended cards + incorrect heat management settings + tests deliberately designed to cook the thing and so combined, well yes, you probably will make it have a meltdown but real world shooting with proper cards and set up? Err no. Actually, 99% of the overheating talk is people talking about overheating who do not have and have never had or used the cameras and are in reality expelling more hot air than the cameras do!

Quite possible, but if Panasonic wants to continue with Lumix and it makes money and takes money from Sony, I don't see really any changes. I understand this one. Have you had any problems with the S1rii locking up or overheating? I heard someone say that the other day. Maybe they fixed it. I'm not a pro and I'm still fully enjoying the S5ii. These days, I'm more interested in lenses, especially vintage and MF ones. I should be getting the Laowa 28mm f/1.2 in a few days. There's something about the wide and shallow look that attracts me. That lens seems to be the widest, brightest. I was really hesitating between it and the Konica 28mm f/1.8 UC, which is still one of the most unique 28mm on the market. Maybe, I'll pick up both.
