Ignore it today, it's stuck in the past. E. :- )

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.

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.

Sad, sad, sad. RIP. Who can forget when the Bunkers first met his character, the progressive Michael “Mike” Stivic — the liberal, college-educated son-in-law nicknamed “Meathead” by his conservative father-in-law, another towering character, Archie Bunker — back when he was still an actor, before his filmmaking career? Legends from my coming-of-age years... echoed by many others, whether reading this or not, far beyond these pages. - EAG

I see fair differences between them you've actually pointed out. Far to even be similar once converted unless when native perhaps, to my eyes :- )

Quote it : ) Unfortunately, a truth of nowadays. Well stated :- )

This camera is OOAK. Period. - E.

You can do it sit from your desk instead, via another app. Side by side your fav capture device with much better autofocus, charging your batteries at the same time. That's what I have to say. Disclaimer (for note): Nothing against AI. On the contrary, just not everywhere. It may happen to end profitable, for sure but still stands as silly. (and annoying as hell!) And counterproductive.

Any extreme overheating is a deal breaker. At least to me. As happened with any of the previous mobile "prescriptions" released before by Android side (Android user here, as of now BTW). Let alone MotionCam workflow (and reliability*!) so far... A true PITA (a 1/3 to 50% more expensive). * dropped frames... (as usual as it goes) depending on variables such as CPU, hot balance under several and distinct shooting conditions... c'mon! And I do NOT even mention broadcast compliance.

Open gate... Hey guys... Justine, you read it well. Simply speechless... : P

When we arrive to this point (comparative HERE in Portuguese, against the best pocket cam till iPhone 17 Pro lands) we set up the whole competition today, late 2025 at least. For some reason there are rumours DJI will launch this 4Q 2025 the new Osmo Pocket 4...

It is the pipeline, of course... :- )

As for instance? :- )

Any tips for the brands you've seen? :- )

Seems there's something new to arrive (from t)here: NDA is leaked here (for more details there and over there). This November, they say. (Actually, not totally exempt from pure nonsense, oh boy!) It would be nice @MILCs side too! ;- )

Is this something? ; ) To me, this outcome doesn’t seem negligible at all. Quite the contrary. No one invented the wheel this time. But it seems that has now been perfected, evolving in a way even the most oblivious cannot miss. To me, it would/will likely be the 1st round :- )

The best camera is the one you hold ; ) ...and that's the "toy" when in good hands! :- )

@kye, your framing, beyond that of a traveller, unveils the eye of an artist :- )

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

Irresistible ;- )
