People paying far less for it though right?

It's a shame about Vimeo, they have been an absolute clown show. But I think YouTube does the job well. The way to use it is to get premium, to nuke all the ads. Much better then.

Yet another example of why the US needs its internet connection cutting off.

Never mind just a thread, I'll make it a whole sub-forum. https://www.eoshd.com/comments/forum/38-gimbal-dji-drone-action-cameras/

EOSHD is about mirrorless cameras, as a forum, as a website. It isn't that I don't think extreme sports and drone operators aren't filmmakers. It's just that the gear doesn't belong here. You have to draw the line somewhere. Should we also be about how to train ponies?

The cinema-going behaviour of the public, definitely not Red letter media - one of my favourite channels. True movie-buffs and hilarious at it too.

Only at the right price!

America... The absolute state of your culture. It's sad. It's pathetic. Wake up soon from this nightmare cultural bonfire 🙂

A big part of me wishes Sony's a7 series would look a bit like this today.

The best one out of all those is the 28-200mm. Absolutely the best travel lens I have ever used. Really light too.

I will take a Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 for my Fuji X-Pro3 thank you.

And Trump has grabbed them all.

Feeling for you. Trump is an economic abomination. It's like a horse race, think of it of all the horses chomping at the bit to get out the gates to increase their profits and prices, but if only one or 2 horses bolt, consumers will shun them and buy the cheaper products... if all the horses bolt at once, what are consumers gonna do... feck all about it.

What's annoying for the rest of us that didn't vote for Trump and aren't even American is that you just know the camera manufacturers will use this is an excuse to raise prices in other regions as well, because they've been pushed into acting like a cartel by a madman with orange makeup. It's a bit like the world just getting over COVID and then some muppet in Russia gives us a war. The world was getting over a lot of supply chain and economic issues then the American public decided it would be a good idea to have a convict in charge of the government and go back to 1870s trade policies.

A burst of about 8fps?

An update on the US side of things: https://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2025/05/21/camera-prices-surge-amid-u.s.-tariff-hikes-companies-respond-with-delays Could be possible that camera companies will import greater quantities to Mexico and Canada.

The new Black Mirror episode is a real banger... ...in which Philip Bloom goes all the way to the White House and starts making up the laws of the land, a new Constitution. Law number 1... ALL media is given a platform based on promotional effectiveness and loyalty to the CAT KINGDOM. Those media not interested in cats, are de-platformed and uninvited from Sony camera launches. Law number 2... Universities watch out... Cat Zionism is about. Or should that be Meowism. Any pro-pussians and anyone who doesn't worship white fur is deported to a columbian jail. Law number 3... Lawyers and judges are to be superseded by weekly episodes of the Supreme Apprentice, where 6 cats around a table ultimately get to settle all arguments big or small with the flick of a tail. Law number 4... Japanese cameras are banned, all cameras must have pet detection and be made in Texas. Law Number 5... All China cats and European cats get out. The CAT KINGDOM is only for AMERICAN AND BRITISH PUSSY.

Comparison is the thief of joy when it comes to creative tools. Most cameras these days are a victim of comparison. If we all stop comparing the choices, life becomes much more simple. Buy what you can afford and be happy 🙂

Ahead of AI? Good luck!

The thing with Fuji is they don't want their fixed lens cameras to be TOO successful as it means lower lens sales. The X100 popularity from around the V model onwards, caught them off guard. So they didn't make very many on purpose, which further inflated prices, and they want everyone to be buying XF and GF mount lenses instead. That's why the X-Half lens is such a pathetic piece of shit. And why it doesn't have a RAW mode. It's meant to be a toy.

One of the reasons I don't blog as frequently or review stuff any more is that I have literally zero interest in spending $3k on a new camera every few months, and there's this strange urge by camera companies to inflate prices at the same time as going backwards in specs from the Sony a1 which is now nearly 4 years old. I fear it will be the same with the FX2, where I pick one up to try it once and then feel absolutely zero creative need for it. Same with the new Panasonics too. And at the same time, my interest in plain old photography is probably stronger than in video now, and what the Xiaomi 14 Ultra was able to do on that side had me thinking that even enthusiast level cameras for photography are on the way out. When are we going to see some real innovation from Japan?

The GH2 is pixel binning to produce the 1080p, so the digital-edge comes more from that than the built-in sharpening algorithm. When you view the image at a longer viewing distance on a larger screen, it looks a lot better than up-close on a laptop.

Maybe they quietly imported thousands of them back in February, before the tariffs. I find it strange that the price isn't a lot higher, maybe B&H plan to show the taxes and tariffs on a separate line when you get to the checkout.
