The Nikon samples seem to mirror my experience with Flexicolor. Tones mash together, it's tough to get it looking right on the more extreme kind of looks to say the least.

Has anyone tried the latest "recipes" https://imagingcloud.nikon.com/recipe/release?bookId=01HXDGH38PHJ0KZJHF2N7M8VMC They use Flexicolor so Z6 III, Zf, Z8 CineBias by RED CineBias-T - Cool Atmosphere by RED CineBias-C - Crisp Teal Contrast by RED CineBias-CC - Noir Vibes by RED CineBias WC - Grit & Glow by RED CineBias-TC - Green Edge Experimental by RED CineBiasOffset by RED CineBias Achromic by RED CineBias BleachBypass by RED I am curious as to what the fuck Green Edge is

The Alexa Mini in that video looks much better than the Zr in rec.709 The LOG modes are just a wide gamut colour space. Nearly all cameras look the same in rec 2020.

This is what the French all thought when Hitler turned up at the border. You're right about the small battles though... Not worth it is it? The big ones on the other hand... It has to be approved by shareholders, they've only decided at board level (at both Netflix and Warner) that they want the buyout to go ahead. Only the hostile takeover by Ellison will get the regulator seal of approval, stamped with the famous United States bald eagle emblem. What is it with the Eagle and these nazi countries?

Had a bit of time with the Sony FX2 today along with a Canon C50, same sensor as EOS R6 III but no IBIS or EVF, and it takes forever to switch photo / video mode. The FX2's viewfinder was chunkier than expected, it's massive and crisp, and articulated. I love it. The screen is so-so. The a7v has less rolling shutter, better screen and screen tilt method. But I do like the FX2, it's the only modern small CINEMA CAMERA that has the full photography feature-set. I just wish they'd put the a7v architecture in there, new sensor... I was told that apparently the Sony a7c II uses a different sensor to the a7 IV, it's tweaked, but didn't sell - so Sony had loads left over and hence needed a way to use them so FX2 was born. Sounds like a typical sales rep story to me so take that with a pinch of salt but it did come originally from a Sony employee. I am happy with the FX2's image, it's enough for me for just Cinema 24p. There's no denying the C50 and R6 III have a specs advantage with the 7K RAW but I just think it's complete overkill. Where is our footage being seen? IMAX screen? Phone more like, laptop if you're lucky. I'm not suggesting to go back to 1080p... lol. I just think 4K H.265 is fine. A lot of people are asking "who is FX2 for"? Well I guess it's for weird people like me who has always valued the hybrid convergence of stills and cinema. There's a nimbleness to it. No faffing, no huge weight, just as capable at photography.... It's the polar opposite of a Blackmagic Pyxis or Ursa. Yet the "it ain't selling" problem is really concerning... It's as if the market has gone a bit batty. All the stills people are buying the a7r V instead and all the video people hanker after an FX3. So the FX2 sat in-between the two suffers from that dreaded "middle" failure because people are unable to snap out of their binary thinking. In a way, the Nikon Zr because it doesn't have a mechanical shutter or EVF, and is lower resolution, in not pretending to be also a really good stills camera has made it appeal more for video. Also Nikon are undercutting Sony pretty deep on price at the moment. So not hard to see why that will further pummel the FX2's sales. Sony need to be careful. Their customer service is poor, the reliability is iffy (the firmware update problems in particular) and their pricing strategy is becoming Canon-like. At the same time meanwhile, Canon are putting top-level specs in a 6 series enthusiast body and getting aggressive on price with the R8, and Nikon is putting RED codecs in things that cost $2k... So in sales terms they may have peaked and might see a downturn. But I for one will be picking up a lovely FX2 if it ever drops below $2000 used.

I think people see politics these days as a form of show-biz entertainment soap opera drama, what a surprise they are going to get when the frogmen smash their door in next.

It's not time I need, EOSHD peaked in 2018. I need to break the strangulation of the gatekeepers, I could post an exclusive about Canon leaving the camera market on the front page or even aliens landing and nobody will fucking see it because the gatekeeping sites and social media influencers all have a major EOSHD grudge.

A bit of a stretch to go from developing an Alice in Wonderland app to accusing Tim Cook of being a pedo.

I don’t agree that that it needs normal people in their millions to rise up, it needs the elites to turn on Trump… Military leaders, CEOs, celebrities. World leaders. Instead, 99% of them they have licked his ass and appeased him

I'm still waiting to hear from the big names about it... Guess we'll have a long wait for that. I think they're probably more tied up about being bought by a streamer, than they are about being bought by a fascist.
