To those like me, this is the most important day of the year, so my best wishes to everyone!

I don’t advocate the use of technology — whether AI or anything else — without human intervention, obviously. The same here. It’s useless to debate this on its own, I guess : ) No doubts. Man, I am the guy who hates those bloody camera menus, let's not forget it! LOL Moreover, this oversimplifies the whole story. Not fair to anyone, AI included : D

I wish they could fix their Japanese design menus. The same for the other companies BTW. Not proper for cinema acquisition. Period. They could learn with Blackmagic.

LOL You're right, Matt : ) But his art goes beyond that anyway, as much as AI can. Without mentioning that cinema is also a written form, since writing is art too. (People of the image have always made the terrible mistake of minimizing it... BTW I’m here 'cause of Andrew’s writing style as well JFYI) With this technology, you can transform your pictures/shooting. So, craft stands. [No less for creation] Of course, with its pros and cons. A bit like 'A Gift for All Ages' film. Without all the earlier art made by Capra, for instance, it would have been something else, or perhaps it would not even have existed. :- )

Here you have straight from Mr. Vogel, Mike Vogel, Milady: Love this one BTW... Addressed to all naysayers : X

Kudos and fingers crossed. Looks like much more promising indeed from his noble background.

So far. Let's see soon what comes here next. Low light and overheating have been their Achilles' heel.

Pretty sure your guess is right : ) Would anything else make more sense nowadays? And here's the most recent teaser just released one day ago. 11.3 million subscribers there... WOW Twice the number of DJI and 8x the number of Insta360... Anything else to say? ; ) 'cause as of now, Insta360 and DJI action cameras clearly beat theirs.

Just follow the instruction manual. : D

"How Another Man REALLY Shaped Wong Kar-Wai's Aesthetic // Christopher Doyle" is a far better title... ; ) (>_<) WTF Lies?? Well, I (try to) follow the point but perhaps when the verb is irregular instead? : X oh gosh Wong Kar-Wai’s directing is just something from another world (FULL stop!) ...for those who truly understand its meaning. Cinematography is part of the filmmaking process, no doubt about that, but I tend to see the other, more distorted side of the debate: those who overlook who truly shapes the work, when the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts. - EAG :- )

Love your posts as contribution here BTW ; ) keep going :- )

Any takers here?

And now with the 9.9.2 firmware version: HERE

Surely not ; ) But, it's something people out there do wonder about, y'all know? Here's just one (and finest) example — do not kill the messenger! : D I know this forum (or a few of you to be more precise ; ) loves to underestimate or undermine these insignificant devices... but I really also wonder if... it's not time for a change? What do you guys think? : ) Simon Wyndham's input (part of Alister Chapman's circle / aka Mr. XDCAM = given his Sony connection back in those early days) source : X

That tracks.

Yes, it is. In a single word: context. :- )

That’s a category error: the tool isn’t the harm, misuse is. You can’t break it. Go full Quijote aka Quixote (who is who? LOL Never mind X ) Much of this sounds like corporate self-preservation dressed up as principle. History has a name for that drift: corporatism. Well, something Europe flirted with in the 1930s ; ) It didn’t end well; Portugal even wore the label officially. We’ve seen where it leads. Who we claim to be is irrelevant; what we do is what makes us. We aren’t what we say we are. We’re defined by what our hands actually show. Or reveal. Identity is cheap. Deeds are the proof. Fear’s a bitch. - EAG

New technologies rarely arrive without some degree of pushback.

Like a gun, it’s only as “good” or “bad” as the way someone chooses to use it. - EAG :- )
