    I'm against it. I'm very much in favour of the "sanctity" of the relationship between buyer and seller and not having a third party sticking their nose in, ie. the government and the crony capitalists (ie the ones against freemarket capitalism). The bottom line is all providers shape traffic and small users are always affected by big users using up the bandwidth. Most unlimited broadband deals are actually limited because beyond certain limited it gets cost prohibitive to not charge more. If a provider gives you a bad deal you go shopping down the road. If the government gives you a bad deal, you're stuffed.

    @Cas1, color has greatly improved, GX and G85 cameras offer great colors already. GH5 has great color as example above and others show. But it´s always easy to screw color up:)

    It's really hard to respond appropriately when people say ridiculous things like that.

    You get the same DoF or even less from the 42.5 F1.7 so no.

    1. huh? they're 95 so are not blown out, correct.
    2. I'd say the opposite, that there are pretty heavy shadows from strong lights at a steep enough angle to not get in the eye sockets or direct front. Increases contrast on face makes it look more interesting. Maybe a black board in front of his face to absorb a bit?
    3. You didn't number this but the GH5 does not macro block in the whiter shades whatsoever. 
    Trying to repeat it with Vlog on the GH5 is a bit average but I think my HLG version looks the same except without the pretty lens.

    Orangenz reacted to Roberto Tolin Sommer in Can you shoot the international space station with a Micro Four Thirds camera?   
    Yes, you must underexpose. The moon has to be exposed as daylight. 1/125 f11 at ISO 100 or equivalents. Jupiter and other planets reflects lower light, but the exposure can be 1/60 or 1/30 aprox.

    Amazing to see the moon going the opposite, from right to left. In the northern hemisphere it goes from left to right.

    Look at the back grip og Casey"s camera. Its got a very different hand grip. The molded rubber is thicker and formed differently.

    Orangenz reacted to maxotics in Best value on camera microphone for usable scrap audio?   
    I'm still in audio purgatory.  My experience so far.  Spending TIME experimenting/configuring a $25 Takstar mini-boom and $25 wired lav is better than MONEY spent on an expensive Rode NTG1.  Environmental considerations FAR OUTWEIGH mic quality.  For example, I set up my NTG1 in my office and was getting super audio.  I then went to a friend's, similar sized room, but the audio came out horribly because my friend's room echoed a lot. (Yes, I listened on headphones but didn't hear it).    I didn't have the experience/expertise to either get the mic closer or ditch it for a $25 lav.
    Therefore, I'm going to make a counter-intuitive suggestion.  DO NOT GET a good mic first.  Get a Takstar and Lav (or similar) and experiment trying to get good audio with each, writing down your findings, etc.    Learning environment and levels has done the best for me.  AND AND AND, working with post audio processing.  Premiere has some amazing tools now "Essential Audio" that gives one a good idea of what's possible.  
    Once you get all that sorted out, then shop for an expensive mic based on what you COULDN'T do with your cheap mics.  That's what I'm doing now.  The problem with an expensive mic is that unless you have all variations (boom, super cardoid, lav, wireless, etc.) you end up forcing whatever good mic you have into situations a cheaper solution would be better for.  Again, I should have ditched the NTG1 for a cheap wired lav at my friend's place.
    BTW, the difference between my Takstar and Rode is VERY slight.  I can only hear it because I'm listening for it.  NO NORMAL person would notice a difference if I switched mics during the video.  The bigger difference is the unbalanced mic could be wired up longer and has less risk of interference.  
    Well, that's where I'm at!

    It's something with the tripod isn't it?
    What I can't work out is how you point the camera at the robot, with the sun apparently behind his head, without lighting, and yet his face is lit up like crazy with no noise.
