The verbal diarrhea won’t stop. https://news.sky.com/story/trumps-extraordinary-letter-to-norway-about-greenland-in-full-and-fact-checked-13496272 -

They’ll arrive at my Danish supplier by mid-January (next week for the adventure combo) and the end of the month (for the standard combo). That said, DJI deserves credit for cross-generation battery compatibility when not between distinct models such as the Action series and the new 360. It saves money, reduces clutter, and it’s a real factor in choices like Osmo 360 vs X5 and Action 6 vs Ace Pro 2/1 (all of them are great devices BTW). Let alone the single piece Osmo Pocket series is. I was into RED for a while, but the proprietary stuff eventually made me step back. - EAG

FX30 is more than just a cinema-line camera for people who are used to shooting with it. Those damn, counter-intuitive Japanese menus — so shooting-unfriendly (a PITA, and truly a shame; these guys have no notion of photography/filmmaking at all) — are the only thing I’ve got against it, and the only gripe I’ve ever collected. - EAG

Very true. And here's another one: At same time, I am buying all of them... Pocket 3, Osmo 360, Nano and Action 6 ; ) An all-star lineup ;- )

Right there ; ) There is the muse of the silver screen. And the persona. Under Carl Jung, the mask. Archetypes. :- )

On the day that marked 130 years since cinema first breathed in a Paris screening room, same day, her image still breathes it out. Not just a star, but a force: the gaze that taught the camera desire, defiance, freedom. Long after movements fade and reels decay, Brigitte Bardot remains the archetype—beauty that unsettled, presence that rewrote the frame.

Chris and Jordan throwing Sigma Bf and Fuji X-Half under the bus
Emanuel replied to Andrew - EOSHD's topic in Cameras
The Sigma BF, from what I’ve seen so far, looks like a design-first camera that deliberately embraces limitations and a very specific tactile shooting experience. If your baseline is “fast, familiar, efficient, and feature-complete,” then yes, it can easily feel like a compromise for the money. But cameras built around constraints are often the ones people actually end up using, because they push you into a different pace and a different kind of attention. Calling it “bad” is basically mixing up “not optimized for my workflow” with “objectively worthless.” Same story with the Fuji X-Half. If it really ships as JPEG-only and is clearly marketed as a “fun,” frictionless camera, then the fair comparison is less “serious camera vs serious camera” and more “intentional point-and-shoot experience vs phone.” In that context, price becomes the whole argument: a fun toy is fine; an expensive fun toy is where people split. And wanting RAW isn’t necessarily pixel-peeping. It’s about long-term ownership, personal rendering, and not being locked into a single pipeline. Fuji could improve the proposition a lot with a smart firmware strategy (RAW/DNG, better HEIF options, more flexible output) without changing what the camera is supposed to be.
