    Emanuel got a reaction from kye in new UI crap on web design/development... when this will finish?   
    I concur on the filmmaking remark. No doubts, most part is pastiche, so completely useless. I wish IT developers could learn a bit with their fellows from the filmmaking realm indeed ; )
    With a bit of the exception for wedding videographers, corporate video and those who work in a daily basis with commercials without some other method in any way other than as being more creative for fairly balance their loading when there's a customer directly paying the delivery made. These ones cannot be considered purposeless.
    I also concur it's not easy to survive in a large enterprise IT environment hence my remark that the competition is inside but the user paying the bill outside. What bothers me. Those "most switched and talented people" you mention fail on learning basics of communication and art in general. They simply don't care. Let alone those in the chair of the decision-chain, they also need to justify their personal revenue.
    These people look to never have heard about minimalim only to refer one example and so on. Take a look on Facebook as for instance today. A disgrace.
    Instagram was purchased why?
    And Skype?
    What did they do with the latter one at least?
    About Google, what are they actually doing with? To place sane users out of there? Confusing, a total mess. The settings are a completely lack of respect for the user with a lot of justifications to pay a few useless services like we have no life outside. Let's get the right picture of what online is and should always be. Most part of it is really coming from such a hit-and-miss affair.
     
    Common sense and putting ourselves into someone's shoes, in the moment of change the design of the UI once again a week or month, wouldn't hurt at all.

    Emanuel reacted to kye in Is ProRes RAW really RAW?   
    Probably not.
    But you probably don't want uncompressed RAW because the file sizes are astronomical.  There are compression schemes which are very close to be visually lossless, which are almost as good, and save a significant amount of storage.
    Depending on your needs, you're likely willing to sacrifice some image quality for some space savings.  For example, you might accept a 1% loss in quality for a 50%+ reduction in file size, etc.  BRAW has compression ratios between 3:1 and 12:1, even on their top cameras, so the artefacts from huge compression ratios can't be that bad, and you can get a lot of compression before people can even notice.

    Two distinct YT accounts have different layouts in my end, so that's something they're implementing in a disgusting world which day less human.
    I recall as for instance when Windows 11 has introduced you're not more allowed to decide where you can place the tool bar in the desktop, guess what, of your own.
    A bit like, or more odd than, security belts NOT in your vehicle but when you'll be fined if you don't use them.
    If we customers don't say no, if we don't praise freedom as this online corner is an example of productive criticism, we will invariably end in the hands of pure evil/control over our heads and we even clap (for) them or call it innovation...

    The point is when we notice them...
    Everyone will die some day no matter how many times we change. This is something I think the most stupid thing the human race is. That is, to not be aware of it. Pretending it is what it is not.
    Changes apply when they bring something of value.
    When not?
    In my culture we have an old adage which says to not touch in a winner team... What does it mean? It's not the case then?! Or people have the need to justify their salaries for an empty scope and useless reason for their craft?
    Change of policy, someone is wondering that they're focusing on content than community because people can follow up the content while read the comments. I'd say the scroll down of the page will merely bring to more addiction to new content instead. So, in my view, maybe mere greed?
    And the brand value? Sometimes a change is the end... Go to implement a change in your relationship and maybe it will be the end of it. It's not so rare to happen when a couple moves of town... : D
    Call me conservative, I don't mind. I am for certain aspects, much oldschool : ) I don't try to reinvent the wheel when things work, that's not a synonym for innovation which is something very different BTW where an uselful realm raises up :- )

    I don't understand any connection with the resolution mantra, though.
    Resolution is anything useful we want, just not this.

    Official certification by ARRI is surprising indeed!
    If anything can cause an explosion in seeing Panasonic mirrorless on film sets I work on, it would be THIS! 
    Would instantly make the GH7 the #1 choice for crash cam / B Cam / etc, anything that needs very awkward mounting, such as mounting a camera for a shower scene or riding a motorbike or a snorricam.

    Looks pretty awesome! No real complaints from me yet, based on the CVP video. Worth an $8k spend for me? Meh... not really. But it looks really solid with most of the expected basics covered, even if it doesn't have anything wildly new.
    The one weird thing is that they have left out a DGO sensor. Seems like a strange choice, considering how the C70 has it.

    There are tons of people using C70's and C300 II's.  I doubt they're selling a ton of them these days, given that they're several years old and most people in the target market already have them and have been using them.
    I think that they know that their target market isn't people who want weird pretentious talk or wild claims, but working shooters who aren't spending all day on internet forums.
    (That is, not me - I'm unlikely to buy this camera any time soon and I hang out on internet forums too much)
     
    I'm guessing that it's either cost or that more people told them they wanted multiple base ISO's.  It also gives people a potential reason to keep buying the C70 - which they really wouldn't have otherwise.

    I was wrong about the lower native ISO - it's 800.

    Also, the full sensor resolution is 6000x3164.  That seems aligned with my belief that it can do 17:9 open gate (or awfully close to it).
    I also missed that it has built-in ND filters.  Nice.

    And yet Biden has achieved more bipartisan legislation than any president going back for decades. The Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the PACT Act, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, plus numerous programs and EOs combatting Climate Change, protecting equal marriage, reducing racial inequality etc etc. He's actually one of the most consequential presidents in living memory. It's frankly rather astonishing that he isn't a shoo-in in an election where his opponent is a three-time loser, adjudicated rapist and convicted felon.

    Emanuel reacted to KnightsFan in The world's first F1.8 full-frame mirrorless zoom has arrived...   
    Awesome lens. Sigma is definitely one of my favorite companies in the camera and lens world. It's not a huge zoom range, but 28 and 50 are basically the only two primes I use regularly. 45 isn't quite 50, but if you're looking to cover a LOT of scenarios without compromising on speed or sharpness, it looks like a great choice.
    Too bad they couldn't put a linear focus ring on it. It's so difficult to use something like this with a wireless follow focus. Maybe they'll eventually make a cine version, like their 24-35.

    I’m on the fence on this one…
    On one hand, I’m a fan of fast zooms. I don’t own any, but the likes of Canon’s 28-70 f2, their 24-105 f2.8 (technically fast for that focal range), the Tamron 35-150 f2/2.8, but not the Samyang which is bigger, heavier and uglier.
    This one though for me is very much a case of ‘if it was available in a pair’ with a 45-90, also internal zoom and also f1.8, then it would be good night, Vienna, give me a LUMIX S1Rii and I’m done.
    Ideally, the lighter and more compact the better, but when it comes to these bigger zooms, I can compromise because of what they can do, which is genuinely replace at least 2 primes.
    There’s not that much between 28 and 35 so arguably this one just replaces a 28 and a ‘wider 50’ for me but that’s a winning combo in my book, especially as an indoor lens.
    For outdoor, I do need longer and could max out with 90mm on a 60mp body, 105mm on a 45mp but really need 150mm on 24mp.
    So on balance, just 1 of 3 parts of a puzzle for me…but having said that, Sigmas tiny 90mm f2.8 on a second 60mp S1Rii would work for me.
    But as things stand, doesn’t work for me.
    I like it though.
