I like Sony Beta FX3 Max

Oh and can someone buy Lumix a 2025 calendar because it’s May 😱

Is that such a bad thing? OK, maybe…

Latest rumors: two cameras and one is the S1IIE 😑 Introducing the Lumix S1II E – The E stands for everything you didn’t know you needed. Meet your new creative companion: The Eeprominator – Built-in memory so loyal, it holds onto your moments like your grandma holds onto your baby photos. E-Waste Not – Every shot counts. Even that accidental one of your foot? Frame it. Easter Snap – Hidden features? Secret settings? Surprises await in every menu. Emoticanon – Shoots in feels-per-second. Guaranteed to hit you right in the heartstrings. Exploitomatic – It finds the light. It finds the angle. It finds you. Lumix S1II E – Not just a camera. It’s a character

One could make the argument that it should be the Sony Beta FX3. 😉

So other than some plug in stuff, the screen it deserved in the first place because all Sony cameras prior to the FX30 and A7RV have dog shit rear LCD's. I was actually going to go with a pair of A7CR's over my single unit A7RV but for a couple of things, the dealbreaker being those rear screens. So this is the mildest of updates at best hence the FX3A moniker though IMO they should have called it B and then everyone could refer to the OG as the 'A' model.

There are so many fine shots here. On the point of the 14-140mm, I've just picked one up with a G7 (yes, getting back into M43 because it's so much fun). I've seen so many great shots with it, not so much because it's a super high IQ but simply it's such a nice lens for composition, especially for travel. Here's another set of clips from James Morrissey with his GH2 (I still have mine too):

Apparently the previous screen is no longer in production, which is why they've had to do this.

Might be a bit embarrassing if everybody starts running amok with action camera footage... Lots of youtubes out there done with action cameras. Still i think that there are many possibilities that can lead to making more informed content available and should they outgrow it, their already at the right place to ask questions.

So an FX3 with a higher res screen.

Sounds fair. Lot of peoples first forays into video begin with an action camera of some kind.

I should also have mentioned that there's a school of thought in film-making that you leave your camera at a fixed WB, normally something like 5500K, and so during the day will look slightly blue and evenings will look slightly warm. The rationale is that this is how we experience reality, and also if you're shooting in a more documentary style, then having the time of day reflected in the images is also a visual queue that adds authenticity, because the WB of every shot is contextually relevant.

And the prices will be doing a Status Quo as well. Unless you are in America of course.
