Fujifilm X-Half Officially Announced
Marcio Kabke Pinheiro replied to eatstoomuchjam's topic in Cameras
This camera is not made for us - is for the youngsters that are getting old P&S cameras to experiment something different. If fact, Fuji marketing strategy should be: reach the Tiktokers that created the X100 V and VI frenzy and drop a shitload of money to make this become viral. Saw some reviews, there are some very lovely things there and a ton of likely mistakes - but as I said, we are not the target group. - Video: forget, is crap. Less than FHD resolution, bad AF, 30 seconds max. A lost opportunity, goodish video with the film sims would be great. - Camera is VERY cute and small, but at the same time could have some more "details", have some toyish vibe. - The interface is very simplistic (kinda a cross of the digital Instax cameras and the current Fujifim menus). The use of the left display for the menu item and the bigger for the itens is intriguing. - The diptych idea is very neat, but as some reviews said, easier to do in the app instead of doinf it in camera. - The "film mode" is VERY gimmicky, but could have some traction. Again, the target group will have the veridict. Biggest problems in my point of view: - Flash photography is a VERY big use case of the youngsters getting old cameras. They love it. And this camera could NOT use any flash - the camera have a led instead of a flash, and a cold shoe without any connection. Huge mistake - if they don't want to put a proper integrated flash, at least could provide a center pin in the shoe to put an external manual flash. And since the camera is so bad for video and don't have a mic port, don't know how to use this dumb shoe for anything. - The rear display is very small - and since the younger people probably will use it a lot, could be a problem. In fact, when the rumors started, I said that Fuji should go full Instax mode, making the camera to be designed "vertically". But this would not bring the retro vibes. - OVF looks good, but have zero infos. Could have some displayed settings. Biggest problem: the price. A camera with no EVF, very basic AF, with a very small main LCD, very few buttons, no integrated flash, a coldshoe, very basic video, for $850? You can just get a X100T or X100S used for the same price, and is a miles better camera. I know that it is a "experience" and fun camera, but it should cost much less, around $600. The X-M5 with kit lens is just a tad more. Don't know if the "experience" with this price will get traction. Hope it does - at least is something different. -

Kodak CCD / Leica M8 sensor camera for £45

I miss Ming a lot, the guy is brilliant. But now he have a very well respected watch company, only shoots for some clients and (of course) all the media for his watch company. https://www.ming.watch/ -

Oh, and the Pen F. Was the most gorgeous camera that I had put my hands on (and yes, I had a Leica in my hands).

Still have my LX100 OG, only will part ways when I get a MK II with a price that I don't have to sell a kidney. Panasonic is so dumb, just upgrade to the 25mp sensor (would be a 20mp camera), put a decent EVF (leica already done it in the D-Lux 8 ) and PDAF. Even IBIS could be forgotten (the lens have a ok-ish OIS). WOuld be a instant hit. Would say my Fujifilm S5Pro, but is a DSLR. Best skin colors ever. And my Olympus X-A1 (it don't have a mirror 🙂 ). Cute as hell, great image and one of the most thinking outside of the box cameras ever.

Still a mystery who makes this 25mp m4/3 sensor. Back in the day there are sites that opened the cameras and microscope the sensor to find the manufacturer, but these days are gone. To add to the mystery: the newest Mavic from DJI uses a m4/3 100mp sensor. Maybe Panasonic uses the same sensor in a Quad-Bayer configuration? (100/4 = 25mp)

They could got a flood of new customers just bringing the camera that all non-professional customers are looking now: a compact stylish camera. Basically, a FF GX9. They launched it, but without EVF, hotshoe, mechanical shutter and proper controls. And the worst kit lens ever made. I know, they want to get in the video creator bandwagon, but was a niche product.

PC build for editing | davinci resolve
Marcio Kabke Pinheiro replied to zerocool22's topic in Cameras
Just passed through this, and my 2 cents: - If you work professionally, go Mac (and yeah, I'm a windows guy). Even a M1, for video editing, run circles around any price comparable WIndows machine. - If you are not a professional and/or Apple costs 2,5x more in your country than in US (my case are both), Windows is still good. But there is a VERY important point the narrowed a lot my choices, and a lot of people doeas not realize it until is very late - codecs and chroma subsampling support. If you want to edit without proxies, is a must have feature. What H.264 and H.265 Hardware Decoding is Supported in DaVinci Resolve Studio? If you work with h.264, bad luck: only 8-but 4:2:0, except if you get an RTX 5xxx series. If you use H.265, you have better support, but pay attention to the subsampling - the 4070 (and all the RTX 4xxx) does not decode 10 bit 4:2:2. This was my case, and that narrowed my choices (when I did the upgrade, the RTX 5xxx were not launched). I had to buy a Intel non-f CPU (as you) to use the internal GPU enabled just to use Quicksync for decode. For encoding, I did not found a comparable table like this, but since almost all reviews test the encoding (rendering) part, is just to look for the desired card. Ryzens are much more performant (and chepear to build, specially motherboards) but have almost nothing decode support in the iGpus. But a Ryzen with a RTX5xxx card, or an Intel ARC Card would be a choice for me nowadays. In my case, since the money was short, went for a i5-12600k (for good decoding for editing) and a RTX 3060 with 12gb (was better than the 4060 for because of 12gb instead of 8gb - and since I have not hurries for rendering, top performance in rendering was not a problem). Works with Fuji open gate 6.2k in 10-bit 4:2:2 as champ, albeit I only do minor corrections - with a lot of effects it could not be the case. But I saw a guy that made a system with a top i9 processor anda a 4090, but when tried to edit 4:2:2 10-bit, it was slow as hell. But probably was the last PC that I put together - I built all my computer since the 286 days. The new Mac Mini is a steal - for video, is better than a PC costing double the price of the Mac Mini. -

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.

And about Europe...it is not so far away from the USA insanity as it might appear. The Le Pens got very close to govern France. The far-right is making inroads on Germany. @Emanuelcould talk about the Andre's Ventura "Chega" party on Portugal. Orbán is already in charge on Hungary, as Erdogan in Turkey. Millei (an idiot as crazy as Trump, or worse) is in charge of Argentina - with 55% below the poverty line. And I already talked about Brazil. The far-right is a world cancer now. -
New US camera import tariffs - 25-50%

Kinda. Twitter was closed for some time here because the Baby Spreader owner dismissed the local Twitter legal representatives, and by local laws, no enterprisde here could work with a legal representative. Nothing to do with fake news. Starlink was not cancelled - the Superme Court here blocked Starlink's local assets to pay the fines that Twitter took for (in this case, yes) not giving the law data from some users involved in nazi stuff (including some kids that performes school shootings). The fines were paid and their assets were returned. Twitter is not much of a problem here - the fake news trends are made there, but the spreading is done using Whatsapp and Telegram groups - closed groups, which cannot be accessed by the law if the owner of the site does not allow to. -

DJI Pocket 3 in B&H went from $519 to $619. -
Others, I don't know. Nostalgia, probably. For me, it is because I like to shoot on streets, when travelling (and where anything "DSLR-like" gets a lot of attention and make everyone around unconfortable), and like to shoot in concerts (rangefinder-like cameras atracts no attention to security, SLR-like cameras are banned). Shoot a lot of concerts and travelled a lot in my m4/3 days, nobady ever cared about the GX7, GX85 and GX9 that I had (only once one approached to see my GX7 thinking it was a film camera). Only m4/3 camera that was barred on security in a concert was...a GH2 (because looks like a DSLR). My current X-S20 is kinda discreet, but sometime people bother a little when see a EVF hump.

Meta pirated the EOSHD GH4 Shooter's Guide

For much less Aaron Swartz was so prosecuted that took his own life. -
Internal RAW probably was just for bragging rights, but yeah, it could backfire. For a entry level camera, it would be perfectly acceptable to have external RAW option (which it has, with full quality) - if you are saving money in a camera, probably would not have a beast computer to handle external files. But if Nikon make a rangefinder version of this one (or if the ZF had the same size), I would probably jump ship to Nikon.
