Suggested to Roger that, since Sony cameras are not great in heat management, the plastic holding part could fracture by expansion / contraction because of the heat. He said that it is a good point. The plastic part looks very well surrounded by metal, very unlikely that the fracture would occur by mechanical impact or stress.

Already have decided to leave Brazil after the unavoidable recession diminishes (impossible to live in a country where 30% of the population support inconditionally a genocide president that have ties with organized crime), probably someday we will arrange a meeting between these cameras.

Still have my GH2 here, even with the original packaging. But since I've forgot to sell it when it was pricier, now will keep it, forever probably.

Cinema5D made a good video (with settings explained), although the color grade is not of my tastes. https://***URL not allowed***/olympus-e-m10-iii-sample-footage-and-exclusive-first-impressions/

Fuji already had the perfect solution for the screen in the XT-100 - tilt and flip mechanism (the Panasonic S1H have an improved approach), and ditched it.

Thinking about have some Fuji taste, with an XT-30; anybody have good stabilization samples with the 18-55 f/2.8-4 kit lens? (sorry for the off topic)

Looks like Canon sold its cripple hammer in eBay.

I've got the Panasonic original one, but will get a Vello / JJC (they looks the same). The grip in the original one looks like a lot one, but you have to remove it to change the battery or the SD card.

Sometimes I miss my GX7. Front grip is MILES better than the GX85/GX9 ones, larger and softer. AF/MF switch with a very good button on center for back-button AF. And the more "rounder" design is much more attactive to me than the newer ones. Only problem was the DISP button - it was easily pressed by the "base" of your thumb. a problem solved in the GX85 / GX9. And the shutter sound, was like a scissor closing - liked it but kind of loud. But I miss it.

Have the E-M10 III, have to use it more extensively. The X-H1 IBIS is ok?

Second that. The Blade Runner video made me crazy about the GH2, got one barely used at a good price...and with it started my love of photography and video. Still have the GH2 here, failed to sell it when it was still valuable...now bought a cheap Viltrox 5 inch monitor to use as focus peaking viewer. Most of the videos made it it are garbage, because I did not have good lenses at the time, heheheh. Interesting, some of the concerts stills that I've got with the GH2 now I think that are some of the best that I've taken - and GH2 arguably was not a good low light camera. The pictures from a Bruce Springsteen concert taken with a Can on FD 135mm f/2.5 are the most organic still that I've taken (and remember, no IBIS...). Miss you covering cheap gear and extracting the best of it, Andrew.

Remember to use the FM codec, AM codec have a lot of noise.

I've heard that the Sony drug could only be used in arctic countries because it overheats in 5 minutes at moderate temperatures. And the the Panasonic one was very good to kill the virus, but only in stationary cells (the drug could not focus the virus in moving ones).

@EmanuelMan, last thing that I need to see is more things about Brazil, hehehe. If americans think that Trump is crazy, our psychotic president is saying "hold my beer". Bipartisan wars here, at the expense of peoples lives. A beloved friend of mine (and a lot of other people) snapped and went crazy because of insane bot propaganda and fake news from both sides of the political spectrum. If fact I'm fed up of this country, when the incoming world recession that will come in the next years pass, my plan (already was thinking about it before the virus) is to leave Brazil and raise my daughter in a less stupid country (and one that treat women at least with a minimum respect). Portugal is the number one option, by the way. Not as much because of the same (or very similar ) language, but most because my wife have Portuguese citzenship and I fucking love Portugal.

An used GX85 with the @BTM_Pix Cinelike D hack and a good LUT is an interesting option. Used mine with Leeming LUT, color are MUCH better than stock profiles.

I guess that fucking a bat is not the easiest task in the world. :)

You can call the system, ahn...DFD is a good name, I guess. (Distance From Disease)

Bolsonaro (the Brazilian president) is not even connected to a brain.

Well, after the speech that the Brazilian president just gave on national network, Trump looks like a very sane leader in comparison.

Well, it always could be worse. Imagine if your president is suspect to have the virus, was recommended to quarantine, and suddenly steps down the presidential car, go to a crowd without mask or any protection and starts to hug people. Oh, wait, it was what the piece of shit which is the Brazilian president has done yesterday.

Yep, waiting with anxienty for the Corona vaccine by USA. Finally a cure for hangover! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cornavirus-corona-beer-they-have-nothing-to-do-with-each-other/ "Survey finds 38% of beer-drinking Americans say they won't order a Corona"

Yes, proper manual focus rules, and is much more reliable than AF. No wonders focus pullers are very regarded professionals in movie business. But is not so easy when using a gimbal for action shots, especially if you are a one man operation. In this case, good AF is very desirable. Different situations, different needs.

Lots of people will be infected and cure themselves thinking it is a common flu. Governments are only testing people that came from the areas with most cases, and the people that had contact with them. But probably along the way these people infected people that were just wandering near them, and could be not directly linked to the infected ones. Only when these people escalate the symptoms and needed special care they will be confirmed cases. Most of the infected will never know.

There are a lot of comparisons about Flu and Covid-19; yeah, there are much more deaths in a year coused by the common flu. But remember that common flu have vaccines, it is a well known disease, have easy treatment and, more important, is circulating around for years and most of the people already have antibodies for it. This is the fear with coronavirus: most of the people does not have any antibody to it, nor it have a vaccine, and it have a VERY fast spread rate. And since more countries are starting to have it spread, more likely your country will have it soon or later - and yes, probably every country will get it. Here in Brazil was an good example: when only people coming from China were being monitored for coronavirus, we had no confirmed cases - because our economy sucks and not a lot of business people here are in China trading. But since the Italian outbreak (a country that Brazilian visits a lot, for tourism and family ties), we had 2 confirmed and more then 200 suspicious cases. And it tends to grow - probably there are people with the virus in the 14 days incubation period coming from other countries that the outbreak was not still detected. I think that the real tragedy will be when the virus reachs the African continent. Very little health / sanitary resources there, and with the fast spread rate of the virus, probably will be a REAL epidemic there.

GLS in Brazil is an acronym to "gays, lesbian and sympathizers" movement, it made an interesting topic title.
