Strange world we all live in today. The more shades the palette offers, the more people see straight to black and white no less as the more dynamic range sensor technology introduces to us, the more we tend to view the world in narrow contrasts.

The world is changing fast. The real challenge is adapting or we’re out of the game. Brexit happened nine years ago because of this regulation you mention, and Trump (as well as others like him) rose for similar or related reasons, at least partly (the phenomenon is complex!), I’d even dare to guess.

Got you : ) But. Saying something new doesn’t matter is like refusing to plant seeds because not every one will grow. Complaining about "the new" is like grumbling at a garden: some seeds fail, but a few surprise you with a nice tree. They also mean democratization today. Of course, this has led to a flood of mediocre content, but it also opens doors to those who otherwise wouldn’t even have the chance to try. I finished film school twenty-two years ago. Still kickin’ ; ) not exactly 'cause of the old-school film I got from there. : P

For sure. The “18 stops” claim comes from the manufacturer (sensor-level, special HDR mode). It’s plausible as a sensor specification under controlled conditions/multi-exposure HDR — but practical DR measured in real cameras has been substantially lower due to optical and pipeline factors. Although the sensor itself has a “theoretical” 18 stops, many other factors (noise, analog-to-digital conversion, image pipeline, compression, amplifier architecture, pixel readout, linearity, saturation capability) limit the actual practical performance. Manufacturer's claim = sensor under optimized conditions (two/more readings, dual-gain, on-sensor HDR, internal measurements). This isn't necessarily the DR you'll get in a final phone/camera. Actual limits: optics (flare/veiling glare), amplifiers, pipeline noise, compression, RAW/JPEG processing — all of which reduce useful DR. https://www.imatest.com/docs/full.html Imatest/DxOMark measure the system, not just the sensor die (photodiodes (light-capturing pixels), transistors, amplifiers, readout lines, A/D converters, etc.). Lab values applied to cameras tend to show much lower useful DR on sensors of this size — hence the large difference between manufacturer claims and practical DR. However, if this OmniVision sensor actually comes to fruition with 18 practical stops, that will be revolutionary for such small sensors — it would be worth watching for announcements and technical tests.

Imagine that reaching the mirroless/compact cameras segment, no less... Why not? ; ) In a single line: economies of scale. The funny part of the equation is the smartphones market pushing the boundaries of this industry in every front, from iPhone sales to Android. ;- )

Not in video though: 13mm, 24mm, 48mm, 100mm, 200mm and I suppose macro too? As far as reported here, it seems the Detail app can record multicam, but... ...from any of those different cameras, i.e., distinct focal lengths, we wish??! How many can it record simultaneously? Only two of them, just the front and rear, I guess? Here's an informative overview: The other point is: Is the external SSD usable for direct recording, or just for backup with Detail app? And what about editing also allowed by this app?

A weight tolerance of ±3% for drones classified as C0 is specified in the European standard prEN 4709-001:2021, developed by ASD-STAN. This standard defines the technical requirements and verification methods for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) intended for operation in the open category within the European Union, in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/945. Compliance with this standard ensures conformity with the safety and operational rules established under the EU UAS regulatory framework. Therefore, the operation of the DJI Mini 5 Pro is compliant across EU countries. The ±3% tolerance also permits the use of a ND filter (~1,12 g). And even an anamorphic adapter, who knows? ; ) Freewell for previous models is ~ 3 g... So, all is fine for DJI Mini 5 Pro operators within the EU.
