    BTM_Pix got a reaction from Juank in Pocket 4k or 6k?   
    I think "fun" is probably better defined as "less annoying" when it comes to these cameras.
    In that respect, I'd say the 6KPro with the EVF as you then have two ways to address the major annoyance of the monitor screen.
    The internal ND is obviously a massive boon anyway but particularly as you might be using a mixture of EF and EF-S lenses that have wildly different filter thread sizes.

    Watching that presentation, this camera has some very smart and practical AI features for the target market.
    They'll sell a boatload of them.

    BTM_Pix got a reaction from IronFilm in AtomX CAST + ATOMOS CONNECT Mega Bundle   
    Might be niche on the surface as its primarily for live broadcast but this time limited offer might be worth considering for some of the many Ninja V/V+ owners on here.

    To recap about the two products (both of which house the Ninja V/V+ but obviously not simultaneously)..
    The AtomX Cast turns the Ninja V/V+ into a fully fledged four input switcher complete with a USB-C output for streaming input to broadcast it with your phone/laptop/ipad etc that can accept the webcam standard input (YouTube, Facebook, Skype, Teams etc etc).
    Full details here 
    https://www.atomos.com/accessories/atomxcast
    The Atomos Connect adds a lot of connectivity utility for the Ninja V/V+ including an SDI input, WiFi6 and 1GB Ethernet for streaming and on set remote viewing, simultaneous ProRes and H265 proxy recordings (with timecode), Camera To Cloud to upload live from the camera, wireless timecode and remote control over BLE from an app.
    Atomos have also just announced a €99 paid upgrade to add NDI to its output so the camera can be used wirelessly within a standard broadcast protocol.
    Full details here
    https://www.atomos.com/accessories/atomos-connect
     
    On the surface, it might not seem like this bundle has much of an audience here but I think the Atomos Connect adds so much overall utility and AtomX Cast offers a whole new opportunity that its pretty transformative for the Ninja V/V+ and is a real bargain.

    BTM_Pix got a reaction from Kisaha in ChatGPT grilled on camera industry knowledge   
    So, I asked it the same questions about you being involved in controversies, hoping that maybe you calling it a lying prick might have had some effect.
    And...well.

    So, it seems to have dropped the 1DC theft allegation but when pressed further for other controversies, it replied with this..

    So you are apparently a fraudster, a racist and a sex pest.
    I honestly don't know where you get the time 😉 
    Pressed further for sources, it came up with the same bogus link shit.

    I then asked it what role EOSHD had in the R5 controversy and it came back with a decent summation.

    When pressed further though about whether an app was created in pursuit of the testing, it confirmed it was but then went off into fantasy land about what it did and it being sold on here 

    I've got to say that this is horrendous.
    It blatantly makes stuff up about someone then when the subject of those accusations corrects the record (which should make it smarter) it then immediately pivots and starts making up totally different shit about them.
    Who the fuck is this "intelligence" actually modelled on?
    Boris Johnson by the looks of it.
    The 2020 allegation is interesting as it clearly just randomly tying anything controversial in the camera industry with you as I think we can both guess what that one is about based on a recent settlement.
    I'm surprised it didn't blame you for the M8 sensor debacle...
    "Reid is well known for pouring cold water on camera manufacturer's hype and it is believed that the sensors in the Leica M8  began to rust due to this ingress of liquid from Reid."

    BTM_Pix got a reaction from Chrad in No-Budget Movies Are Taking Over: Welcome to a New Era of Filmmaking   
    Bobby Bowfinger had it spot on twenty years ago 
    Something that has always puzzled me is when you consider something like Downton Abbey which costs roughly $1-2M per hour as a TV programme yet was somewhere between $7-10M per hour for the film version without too much demonstrable difference in production values.
    The final season of Game Of Thrones was supposed to be around $15M per hour, its hard to imagine that if it was a movie then they'd be getting much change out of triple or even quadruple that amount.
    I suppose the trick is to pretend you are making a TV programme and hope no one finds out it is a film.
    A bit like wedding cakes.

    BTM_Pix got a reaction from Andrew Reid in Panasonic S5 ii Moiré vs the sudden strange appearance of S1H Moiré in raw with Blackmagic Design 12G Video Assist   
    Not an answer to your specific query about BRAW playing a role but here is a side by side that someone has done with the S5ii and S1H comparing moiré.
    Its there in both but far more pronounced in the S5ii with the suspicion that the OLPF of the S1H is the differentiator but I doubt that is the whole tale.
    From that test, it would be expected to be more from the S5ii but its interesting that you are seeing more with the S1H in BRAW than internal. 
    Could be additional processing in the camera is taming it when recording internally ?

    It apparently will be called the ZV-E or ZV-E1 and seems to essentially be an A7Siii in the rangefinder-ish body of the A7c.
    The following specs are from rumour sites so take with a pinch of salt but if this is accurate then it will be an interesting release.
    12MP sensor from the Sony a7s III 4k 60p and 4k 120p video (no crop) Max ISO of 409,600 No pixel binning AF from a7R V, but it has even better detection New AI features Priced expected to be under $2,500 4k 120p could come later with a firmware update

    Word has it that the mark 2 is imminent and will apparently have the following :
    50MP sensor 8K/60 6K/8K ProRes RAW (to external SSD as far as I can tell) Phase Detect AF I suppose that would take care of your AF woes and it does all that at the  current price of the mark 1 then you might be flogging off more gear to get it.
    It might change my Z9 plans as well.

    When our music turns rubbish and our language ugly we know there's trouble ahead. Filmmakers and photographers seem to be on the way out, to be replaced by something altogether more homogenous - the "content creator" or simply "creator". Why specialise when you can just "create stuff"?

    BTM_Pix got a reaction from 92F in SmallRig accused of blackmail   
    If anyone wants an insight into the other side of this unvirtuous circle then launch a product and watch the emails pile in.
    From the straightforward "can I have a free one if I do a review on my YouTube channel?" to the full on "I will say its great on my YouTube channel if you give me a free one and a cut of the sales" and all points in between.
    On sites such as this one below, you can register to boost campaigns for products that you have absolutely no idea whether work or not or even if they will ever be delivered and earn money from other people taking that risk :
    https://kickbooster.me/marketplace/
    Sites such as that one are referenced in almost every solicitation email we've received regarding the PBC and then the AFX so its obviously all part of the game.
    Is everybody at it ?
    Its unlikely but there are clearly enough people who are very much at it so as to bring the whole thing into disrepute in my opinion.
    There is clearly a space then for someone to do absolutely straight reviews that demonstrably have no financial aspect to them whatsoever either through advertising or affiliate links.
    The problem with someone doing that is that there are so many people with vested interests in these inanimate objects - whether financial or emotional - that you then end up with this at your virtual front door if you are critical of it.

    On that basis, who the fuck would even be arsed doing it ?
