Apparently the previous screen is no longer in production, which is why they've had to do this.

Might be a bit embarrassing if everybody starts running amok with action camera footage... Lots of youtubes out there done with action cameras. Still i think that there are many possibilities that can lead to making more informed content available and should they outgrow it, their already at the right place to ask questions.

Sounds fair. Lot of peoples first forays into video begin with an action camera of some kind. 

So an FX3 with a higher res screen.

Oh and can someone buy Lumix a 2025 calendar because it’s May 😱

Cleopatra should be taken as an influence to every movie produced after it came out.
If you're studying that era of photography it's obligatory, IMO.

The prototype coming (or is it mere proof of concept for patent purposes?) would be for a 24mm f/0.7 from those white papers announcing they have worked out «a long-standing challenge in lens design» but according to Canon rumors, any RF f/1.0 lens is then just arriving around the corner, very likely.

As there are too many separate threads and topics about cameras that have fisheye lenses and small sensors, i.e. anything that goes on the end of a selfie stick, I will combine them all here and anything that gets posted separately will be moved to this post.

This firmware was released some time ago, and I already used a lot the 40mm zoom mode. Yes, there is almost no drop on image quality - only "problem" is that it only works in the Normal color profile, don't work with Log.

Did not tested the breathing compensation, but from the reviews that I saw, it works really well.

I think the solution is to have distribution channels independent of the USA. Create your own streaming platforms for content made regionally and also internationally (among movie-producing countries that don't go into trade wars with each other). This way the market becomes much more healthy and less dominated by a small number of current players that are very large. Of course I understand that funding can be an issue, but such platforms could gather public financing (either via subscriptions that are a bit larger than the big platforms' fees initially, or via government or intergovernmental support from tax money). The streaming costs that a platform incurs are dependent on the quantity of content  and if the focus is on quality, this shouldn't be a huge issue.
 

For a 20 second ad filled with 1 second or less shots this could work.
For a full-featured movie no. We are still a ways away from realism. The uncanny valley is brutal. And I'm talking purely about the visuals. The sound just comes through as very fake. So bad sound and mediocre visuals = AI fail.
On the bright side, it's really clear they used the movie Cleopatra (1963) for their AI teaching-learning. I actually wanted to see the old Hollywood mega production during one or two of those shots.

I don’t really agree with “if you can’t beat them, join them” attitude to stuff like this.
Being a right wing imbecile is very much on the rise but it doesn’t mean we should just fall into line with it.
AI should be used for taking away mundanity like doing the dishes and laundry from our lives to free us up to do the fun and creative stuff not steal that from us.
I’ve got admiration for whoever’s work was used to “train” this but only contempt for those who are facilitating and grifting on the blatant theft of original work.
Do you not see that these tools that you are espousing will only make that situation immeasurably worse ?
This will literally give these people the ability to say “yeah just make that last one again with a slight variation and set in a different location” and churn this shit out even faster and with waaayyyy more profitability than they do now ?

That guy either lives in another world and time, or he makes us all feel like we do.

100% tariffs on all foreign imports and Netflix production.

Proper details sketchy but looks bad.
But all par for the course when your public votes for a thuggish fascist dictator.

Incredible piece!

Well, I understand and even second such input (how to not praise such resistent standpoint BTW?), for some reason you don't find in the title up there "My fav" but only "Fav"... let alone the expression "out there" too -- followed by those three dots aka ellipsis ; ) however, I think these tools are just arriving to stay, I guess whether we like it or not. 
We have to admit this development (not exactly a synonym of creation or the word 'art' would have been added) is impressive, no matter how sensible we are to the presence of this controversial level of arsenal. 
Can it be a PITA? Oh, in all likelihood...
Better to see these implements as they are or can be, handy toolset for mere creative refinement when applied in good hands, no less (not everywhere and anywhere) and six hours of work for this sample, as due:

IMHO the more we can juxtapose -- the right word, the more we hit the home run...
 
I simply hate the current hollywood Marvel trend and alike, they actually are destroying the art of motion picture. The remaining part left is trying to get a better idea how make it at bright side. The more many-sided we can face it as multiple layers of instruments we're able to add to the orchestra. 
A bit like distribution windows when the streaming is placing people outside the big screen and the social/aesthetic experience of the movie theatre. At a certain point, can cinema (aka the art of) be considered dead or sorta like the painting when photography popped up? ;- )

Cool, one step closer to completely unburden us, humans, from all those unnecessary skills of ours.

My favourite AI outcome would be for it to fuck right off.

Oddly enough, I actually had a dream last night that I had a Nikon Zf.
Based on its excellent performance in that dream, I can concur with @MrSMW that it is a great camera.
Then this morning I got an alert that the Zf has been reduced to £1400 on Amazon.
This might be a sign.
Possibly a sign not to eat cheese before bed as I’ve never had such a vivid dream about a camera before.
Particularly not one where I was shooting an intimate portrait of the Loch Ness Monster with it.
 
 
 

First time back out with the Zf (late 2023 camera!) shooting stills alongside the A7RV this weekend after ditching it (the Zf) in favour of moving over to the Sony early last year.
Glad I bought one back. It’s such a great stills camera, my favourite ever now taking over from my previous faves which were the Fuji X100 series and X Pro2.
The Zf is like an X Pro2 on steroids.
I need to try it for video because that could be a little bit special…

Terrific range...
And tool by consequence BTW -- let alone 6-stops at the wide end and 4.5-stops at the telephoto end which expands the number of shots you're able to get straight from your hands as you can see here (no replacement for a gimbal when walking for sure but why should it be anyway? ; )
Follows a dead silent AF and no breathing outcome...

That general blackout of a couple of days ago reaching two-digit millions of people for half a day was creepy enough to say the least... First time ever in half of a century of life. We are nothing without modern life or too little. 
Looked to be part of a movie. Don't want to know what genre is.

I see you all lurking in the shadows, secretly reading the rumors, too afraid to hit “post”... 😇
In just a few days, the new Lumix FF is set to drop—and rumor has it, we’re talking cinema camera territory. The Canadian YouTubers? Already in Texas and Portugal, probably under NDAs thicker than a RED firmware update. So... are we talking or what?
Because let’s face it: after this one, it’s gonna be another six years—and at least one global event worthy of a disaster movie—before Panasonic releases their next cine cam.
Built-in ND? Or are we chasing DJI ghosts again?
Meanwhile, our cowboy filmmaker has the mystery box chilling on the hood of his pickup, right across from the light he’s testing:
