Hope that they nails the ergos this time. Could be the camera that make me switch from Fuji. I think that Sonys are very uninspiring and souless, but the Fuji AF woes are starting to fed me. (Canon just implemented my dream - the option to choose which person to follow in a group, a situation that Fuji goes haywire)
-
Just adding to the discussion: in May 24th there will be a Fujji X Summit, and, according to rumour sites, the X-S20 will be announced. As a X-S10 user, really waiting for it (my dream Fuji camera would be a X-E5 with some controls back and IBIS, but Fuji will never put IBIS in their X-E ou X-Pro lines...)

Imaging Resource is gone (really), without announcement. https://petapixel.com/2023/05/08/imaging-resource-is-now-offline-as-the-camera-website-shuts-its-doors/ Was my preferred, above DPReview.

@IronFilm, completely noob audio question here: I know that 32bit float recorders allows you to recover clipped sounds. But the audio could not arrive at the recorder already clipped from the microphone, if the recorded sound is too high?

The RAW case was dismissed, and Nikon is free to keep it.

New Lens Launch - Samyang 35-150mm f/2-2.8 For E-Mount
Marcio Kabke Pinheiro replied to BTM_Pix's topic in Cameras
Same question as me. This week I was looking the lenses available for Sony and found the 1st Samyang zoom - and the B&H reviews are littered of people which had the mount ripped form the lens; it is a heavy lens, and the mount is screwed to a plastic shell. Let's hope that this newer one is better. -
Sony New Camera Launch - 29th March 2023

This one will be the ZV-E20. 🙂 And boy, would be much more interesting - specially if they could put a new sensor without atrocious rolling shutter. -
Sony New Camera Launch - 29th March 2023
Marcio Kabke Pinheiro replied to BTM_Pix's topic in Cameras
About being overpriced, I think that a even better example is the S5 II, which have a (good) EVF, internal cooling, 24mp (better oversampling), waveforms, a mechanical shutter...for $2000. In the group that I am that people bought ZV-E10s in troves, everybody liked the camera, but...the only ones thinking of getting one are the FX3 users, as a second body. ZV-E10 is $700. With the $1300 difference, they could buy lenses (Viltrox is VERY popular in that group too). And to upgrade from the ZV-E10 to ZV-E1, the user will have probably to upgrade it's lenses too. ZV-E10 users are not the target of this one. -
Panasonic are so underrated for stills

OOC, very good JPGs. -

ZV-E10 sell in troves, at least here in Brazil - I am in a Telegram group that only, in there, more than 70 people bought it. -

Don't even need the hack - the GX9 have Cinelike D and V natively with firmware 1.1 🙂 Used a lot with Leeming Lut, lovely colors. My mentioned better colors were in stills - best colors in all the GXs that I had. -

GX9 colors are even better, at least to my tastes. When I bought the GX9, was in a good bundle price from a friend, that had the 12-60 (the non leica version) included; my intention was to keep the lens, sell the body, and continue to use the GX85. Instead, the (loved) GX85 gone. The GX9 was trounced because of the esxtra 4k crop, which is really a bad thing. But the return of the tilt EVF (loved it in my GX7), much faster operation, better eye AF, better colors (again, to my taste), and return of the dedicated AF mode switch, all this won me. Now I'm on Fuji, but I still miss it. -

@Andrew Reidpost mentioning Stevie's Digicams...my go to site when choosing my first digicam, a Powershot A20. Some weeks ago I remembered it, went to discover when it ended...was when Stevie himself died. Loved DC Resource too, Jeff closed the site to work on DPReview, and left some years ago. Good times. -
Even less than that. For me, just add a flip screen, a tad better EVF, take off the 4k crop, PDAF, and (specially) bring some "film" recipes to attract the same target. Once I had a X100s and a LX100 - and the LX trounced it for me. Better AF, much more flexible with a zoom lens, and (surprised) trounced the X100s in low light. I know that the X100V is a different beast, but I still think that the LX100 are more versatile. Still have my LX100 MK I, by the way, is my go-to camera. Pretty, very small, you choose the focal lenght on the fly.

These are times where people use Camera Conspiracies as a serious site to get technical information...(no joke, each day I see more people using him as a tech reference) -

I knwo that Amazon needs to cut costs, but close a website with THIRTEEN people on staff? Jeff Bezos have a bigger crew just to clean his balls. -

Chris and Jordan, yes. Let's see if someone will get the DPReview site. -

Forums were toxic as hell. But their Comparison Tool helped me a lot. -

But Amazon have almost infinity storage. They could keep the site open as an archive. (but probably they won´t because will remember everyone that they killed it) -
I kept thinking that Panasonic is missing a golden opportunity here to put a LX100 III in the market.

2 days ago, hearing about the tragic death of Ben Kweller's son (very sad news indeed - Ben almost died from monoxide carbon intoxication when rising to success, stopped his career for 9 years, and was just coming back to form, and is a very gentle guy), I remembered that I shot videos from some song in his Rio's concert in 2012 with a Vivitar Series 1 105mm f/2.5 Macro made by Kiron. Never used it as a macro, but as a tele...maybe is the sharpest old lens that I have, tied with the Contax-Zeiss 135mm f/2.8. In fact, is so sharp that it looks like a modern lens. Got it for around US$90, with original box, just returned from CLA - it is pristine, without a single dust spec, to this day. Good times. This was the video - GH2 with Sanity hack, no Ibis or manual focus aids. Vimeo dropped the resolution to 720p, the original file is much sharper. Another remembering - the GH2 mics were superb, the audio is from the on board mics, only with a little EQ. And all my thoughts to Ben - after this gig he spent hours talking with the fans, taking photos, always with a smile in his face. Hope that that smile returns soon.

Much better than the GX85 in C-AF - in fact, just used this weekend to film my daughter, and worked very well.
