That’s fair. Could also just be profit motive in another direction: “we have all these parts let’s just throw these extra parts in a smaller body and call it a day”

Mmmmmno it didn't. I'm 44 and only have vague memories of smog in Detroit from my childhood in the 80's. And that is not a few years ago.
Sure, to a white, male, boomer, in America.

Looks great! Making the fx30 shine

Considering Apple obsession with thinness, I'm not sure they ever use 1 inch sensor. 

But S5 and S1 have they same processing and image, right? @Beritar Doesn't the og S5 also sport open gate? Have you encountered pinkish blotches/posterization on evenly lit skin in Vlog 10bit 422 150mbit? It occured to me when filming skin with heavy makeup. HLG in that mode seemed without it. I always loved the GH5 in HLG in 10bit HD All-Intra btw. Beautiful image.

Went to Manchester for the firs time (at 60!) and it's very photogenic - I will definitely be returning (with a tripod).
 

I understand the joke you were making about the dumb image being as useful as the original video, and I, as someone who saw the original title and video, and have some familiarity with the video author, chuckled at the picture.
All I'm saying is that I also understand SRV's annoyance that to a random passerby who doesn't read the whole thread, his name is on a post that is no longer the content he posted. Thats regardless of who SRV is as a person (who i havent interacted with before), or the original post itself (which I thought was pointless, and orignally ignored).
that's why I said it wasn't life or death as an ironic understatement. I'm not upset in any way. I thought andrgl's post was a bit harsh, so I spoke up. if I came across as upset or in support of rumor mill youtube videos, that was a miscommunication on my part.

Who says I changed what a user wrote?
Replacing a misleading and spammy youtube video with a picture is not doing that.
And it sends a message that if you don't check your sources, or post poor quality outlinks, you will have it deleted.
That's not about being unfair, that's about good moderation.
Why are you indulging an entitled whiner?
The joke was made clear by me in the comments and there are far greater controversies you should be upset about, maybe gaza or something, but not this.
 

I agree with @SRV1981. Totally fair for Andrew to decide what is or isn't posted in his forum by deleting content or adding editor's notes, but I don't think it's good practice to change what a user wrote. @SRV1981 did not post the content that it looks like he posted and I think users should have the right to not be misrepresented as saying something they didnt, even if they don't pay hosting fees. I don't pay hosting fees on Facebook either.
And I know in this case it's not life or death. I'm just saying I would be annoyed if my username was labeled as the author of something I didn't write or post.

Do you pay for the hosting fees? What an entitled ####

So you run a forum and can just change the content of a thread because you dislike the source? What an odd culture

Imagine this hardware with iOS
 

I’ve received my filter adapter for the iPhone today. I wanted it to be as flexible as possible and didn’t want one that’s integrated with a proprietary case nor one using proprietary magnetic filters.
Setup is the iPhone 16 Pro with the JJC MFS-II MagSafe 67mm filter holder and the ACASIS 2239 MagSafe SSD case with a 1TB Corsair MP600 Mini in it. 
 
I’m using it with my normal Torras case, because when you take off the rubber it fits perfectly in (twss).

The lack of new S Pro lenses since 2020 and the fact that they use the same IMX 410 sensor since the S1 in 2019 (a sensor from 2018 introduced with the Sony A7III) is very concerning to say the least.
I like my Lumix cameras and lenses but honestly, I really think about switching to Nikon and adapting my FE lenses on a Z6III and Z8.

In that case, I'll replace the video with something with more value to the DJI discussion 🙂

Another vote for Camera Conspiracies. 
Doesn’t get everything right but he’s having fun and trying. Transparent and honest and not afraid to make fun of himself. Very refreshing in the 2024 Douchtube space. He will take a theory and go out and shoot to test it. 
 
I’m tired of camera reviews and gear videos but I watch these 5 channels pretty consistently and find inspiration here. Some thoughts below.

What drives me crazy these days is the lack of originality and this insane copycat culture. A trend will start and all these people jump on the craze and suddenly it’s everywhere. 
 
Over using promist and “cinebloom” filters. Low saturation and washed out grading to replicate film. Too much film grain added. Nostalgic for an era many of these gen Z never experienced. 
 
Holding the lav mic or transmitter in their hand while filming themselves. Using an old school handheld mic to be ironic and different. 
 
Neon tube lights behind them at their butcher block workbench desk from Home Depot. Then cutting to close up shots with the plastic engineering mat desk protector. 
 
It’s just gotten so, so boring to hear people read the camera specs to me off the website with no original thinking or unique take on any of it. 

Who needs shallow DOF?

"I don't shoot coverage, I know what I am doing"
🤣🤣🤣

Agreed--if I had the production budget to make the backgrounds beautiful, I would never have anything out of focus! (Small exaggeration)
Some of my favorite scenes and shots, for example
Once Upon a Time in the West

It's very genre dependent, too. I love sci fi and fantasy, both of which have spectacle and world building that is often best accomplished with very wide establishing shots.
Lord of the Rings - The wide shots of Helm's Deep not only serve as beautiful spectacle in their own right, but also display the layout of the fortress in a way that makes the ensuring battle comprehensible. There's this one I linked, but if I recall there's also a few beautiful crane shots right over the keep leading into conversations about the defenses.

Star Wars - Our first glimpse of Coruscant (not sure if this screenshot is the first time we see it) communicates so much about the planet.

On the other hand, personal dramas sometimes don't need as much pure visual setting, or are obvious enough that it's not needed. If our hero lives in an apartment, do we need to see the outside first, or is it very well understood what type of space it is without it?

You’ll have to take my word for it. Zero agenda, but I don’t have the time to dig out old hard drives but 100% if I shot any of these side by side, I can see a difference.
Other than my website and social media, nowhere, - it’s a typical 1000-2000 deliverable images for every client.
What they do with them I could not say, but any image could be printed any size.
Not sure about that!
Extremely high? Rough calculation, gross, about 60x cost?
Ha, too personal, but enough to suit our family needs.
Not as much as a dentist who can afford that 10k camera 😉

So, I’m an amateur with zero training, but I saw the sequel and it was abysmal. Michael Keaton kept it alive for the duration but man the writing and PC culture behind it was bad. 
 
anyway, I’m watching the original and I’m BLOWN AWAY. The rich pastel colors, the detail combined with soft images etc, make the original so much more appealing than the sequel visually! Cinematic and filmic are real terms worth using daily. I can’t think of any digital image that rivals what I am seeing from the original Eastman film stock of Beetlejuice. 
 
id love to Get this pastel softness with deep colors and image on my log footage (iPhone and dlogm)

$7k!
