    Snowfun reacted to wolf33d in Sony A7S III wish list and the not-NAB 2020 no-show today   
    lol you are as much of a Canon fanboy than the Sony fanboy you mention. 
    Even when Canon ridiculously failed deeply with the EOS R your were saying here on EOSHD how great it was. What a joke. 
    Personally I don’t understand at all fanboyism for a camera brand. Who cares if it’s Sony Canon or Nikon, I couldn’t care less about the name. I am bashing what’s wrong, and praising good stuff.
    When the 5D2 was out I was applauding. That’s why I bought it. When the EOS R was out I was laughing hard. Sony did an excellent job with the A7III when it was out. That’s why I bought it. 
    The R5 looks absolutely fantastic and will most likely get it to replace my A7III.

    Snowfun got a reaction from majoraxis in RED Komodo   
    Difficult not to agree although RED have consistently claimed that Komodo is primarily a niche camera to support other RED cameras (drone, crash, gimbal etc.) and is not intended as an A camera for those outside the Holy Circle.

    I remember him from Reduser back in the day.
    He didn't so much drink the RED Koolaid as got a franchise for his own bottling plant.
    I'm presuming he's going to shoot his latest film at his "Tree Of Life" campus...

    Snowfun got a reaction from noone in Why is Sony IBIS so bad?   
    I hope Sony leave out IBIS on the A7S3. I know they won’t because it is such a consumer selling point. I personally don’t need/want it. In an ideal world they would offer two versions but as we all know this isn’t an ideal world...
    Thee are so many options for “proper” video stabilisation out there (from tripods to Steadicams to electronic gimbals etc.) that IBIS isn’t “necessary” although I see why it is desirable for so many people in so many situations (particularly photographic).

    Sorry, wrong thread.
    Here is a guide to iOS versions, some of which can be used with games controllers which look like OK options if you have a PS4 controller around etc. 
    There are a few whole kits on Amazon with the shoot through glass but who knows when they will be able to deliver.

    But don’t do this...
    I offered to film my wife doing a short (3 minutes) introduction to her immunology lecture next week (all lectures are currently online). Easy - a green screen and I had some serology testing footage for the background. Filmed it. Packed everything away. Opened Resolve... she was wearing a top with green stripes... 
    Just finished take two...

    The elusive A7S3... presumably it will continue the tradition of the A7S series astonishing low light performance?  I’m beginning to wonder whether I “need” it or should I just get an A7S2 (8 vs. 10 bit being the answer to that!) Regret selling my original A7S...

    Looking at recent posts objectively, it is always the same users who end a perfectly good discussion on this forum with toxic bullshit.
    I am coming after you.
    It is a cull.
    It isn't about politics.
    It's about values!
    To protect a community I love... I have no choice.
    To be clear, it is none of my business which way you vote. What matters is behaviour, character, values.
    If you've been a good contributor here and kind to people you get to stay.
    If not, then you are going to be asked to leave and I will pursue people who return under a different name.
    This is purely because there are now far too many posts being trashed and too much arguing driven by people with the wrong values which I despise.
    I am going to use this week to draw up a list of people who strongly align themselves with Trump's politics of America First.
    And I will be getting rid of the lot of you.
    Yes you can say it's a political purge but I prefer to think of it as purely about values and about protecting users who DO contribute positively to the forum.
    If these idiots are allowed to get away with bringing Trump idolising bullshit into this community then all our work will be for nothing and Russia with their fake-user farms will have won too, because I am 99% sure at least a few of the idiots are completely made-up shill users whose role is to divide us politically and weaken our online communities.
    At a time when we must pull together as a camera-community, as filmmaking industry, even as a country, indeed as a world - to get through tough economic times ahead - dumb arguments which ignore factual data are a waste of time.
    What has happened to the world in recent weeks is stressful enough and I personally do not need to hear from certain people in every thread. I will not be providing a platform for Red cap wearing idiots who haven't contributed a single shot or image to this forum.
    I get that EOSHD has a big US readership, in fact the US contribution to my site is the largest in the world and I want to keep as many of you as possible and not lose any friends who just happen to disagree with me on politics.
    But if you are going to be a shill for Trump's politics or somebody who is a complete shit-stirrer and troll, then I will no longer be turning a blind eye to it and the cull starts now...
    Have fun on your way out.

    So, radio stations all across Europe had a show of support and solidarity by all simultaneously playing "You'll Never Walk Alone" at 08:45 this morning.
    What a lovely gesture and sentiment and as a native of Liverpool and Liverpool FC fan this song has a very special meaning to me personally for multiple reasons.
    After the events of yesterday, I can't say the irony isn't lost on me though !
    "You'll Be Arrested If You Don't Walk Alone And Quite Possibly Even If You Are Walking Alone (without a dog)" would have been more apt this morning
