Tomato/Tomato to some degree but as he has stated it was a deliberate "artistic choice" for it to look like that then it was the technical choices that had to serve the aesthetic rather than than the aesthetic being a by-product of the technical choices.
I learnt this lesson the hard way when failing to achieve a Kraftwerk aesthetic on my last album by using a mandolin and a French horn.
Well, as I say, he's impressed quite a lot of people with that choice judging by the comments, many of whom find it to be very evocative for them of the work of Philip Bloom.
I'm not really au fait enough with the entire canon of Bloom's work to know whether he ever had a Handycam period so I don't have sufficient insight to challenge that.

But this got me thinking as well... What if we have a fun "EOSHD Challenge" where we all trawl the bargain bins in our local towns and online, pick something for super cheap, could be $50, $100, no more than $150 or $200...
Make a video with it.
Then the winner is judged in a poll - on artistic merit, and technical image quality (can be 1080p of course)
The winner, wins the camera of the last place guy ?
Plus a special bonus camera from EOSHD.
What do you think? Worth setting up a challenge like this?

Just an update on this..
The reality was a whole lot different.
Incredibly slow auto import from from SD card, erratic behaviour in terms of it not always copying all files from the card and really slow wireless even on 5.8Ghz.
Nice blue LED on it though.

When it comes to evaluating 3rd party batteries, my usual approach is to.....
Nah, forget it.
Look at that good boy!!

what are wasabi batteries, ive never heard of – oh ok jk lol i have them too
mine are fine, ive got three, came used with a camera, life seems to be ~about~ the same as oem
theyre hit or miss~!
NOT to change the subject, but i HAVE to tell you guys...
i got a new puppy, his name is Bruno and i love him ?

I haven't commented on this as I wanted to give it time to pan out but I had a search on YouTube for "Sony vs Fujifilm colour" and no other video creators have found it necessary to manipulate the thumbnail in this way to "get around the algorithm" and all of them seem to have done OK in terms of the number of views.
I get trying to game the system @MaxYuryev if you feel you've been hard done by but do you not think by doing something so deliberately disingenuous as this you've now become part of the problem rather than the solution?
What I'm really struggling to understand though is why it remains uncorrected this long after it has been pointed out and this long after you've admitted the deliberate deception.
I'm afraid you can't hide behind the algorithm for that one and for what its worth, from my own personal point of view, whatever benefit of the doubt I'd given you for an aberration born of a sense of injustice and you at least having the honesty to admit to it, has evaporated by you not remedying it when you've had the opportunity.

Ah OK, I thought you meant the camera.
A lock mode on the unit is easy enough to implement.

How naive can some people get?
Max is on a PR mission, he's not here to actually contribute to a forum. The PR mission is only necessary as he's been outed faking a shot to make Fuji look greener than Kermit The Frog. If it wasn't for that, he wouldn't be here. Max exists for clicks and to make money, and if he can use the research and knowledge of other people for free to further his content along the way then he's all the richer for it.

You mean you don't like the very stylish red strapped version of this one ?

The AppleWatch is something I've considered (as well as the Android equivalents when I made the app) but, in all honesty, my conclusion was that its overkill for this task in terms of complexity and certainly in terms of cost.
The advantage with this (apart from it only being €60) is that you can attach it to a tripod or gimbal far easier than a watch and the expansion port offers us more possibility to extend what it can control.
It'll make more sense when you see one of the expansion units.

You mean you would like to lock out controls from being able to be operated from the camera itself ?

He is almost a "regular" there!

If I ever visit you, I'll have to remind myself not to take up any offer of a home made cupcake.

They're not the softest, but what they lack in enjoyability they make up for in shelf life!

watching utube pretty much every one uses the mini muffin trays to cast lead ingots or alloy ingots. I think the king or random started it, but i ran with the herd anyway ? and it has been quite a learning experience.
It seems like i have an interesting assortment of things that i want to do to tick of my bucket list ?
i have an area set aside about 100 meters from the house for experiments and i'm pretty keen to keep them both separated don't worry about that

been a busy week. Got the tripod base cutout got two made. One has holes in it, the other is blank. got some ideas about milling out the perspex base i had made earlier and inserting the tripod base into it, kinda still at the ideas stage with it at the moment.
I also picked up the last part for the anamorphic adapter. its kinda like a step up ring but more substantial it will take the weight of the anamorphic,  but i do plan on using support anyway. Had the pentax m42 85mm 1.9 attached. I think its 58mm thread size. alignment was a little bit off when tightened up, thought about it for a bit then applied a rubber band to the rear of the anamorphic right where the threads end and put it all together tightens up quite nicely, seems to work as a temporary fix for now.
This afternoon i found out i can melt lead and quite easily it seems. I used my gopro4 with a letus anamorphic lens attached, filmed some and then timelapsed the rest, yet to import it into resolve and have play with it. Hopefully its a little bit interesting. Had a lamb born about lunch time today, mom brought it up this afternoon,  canon 60 d m42 50mm 1.4 lens. So there is a bit of a mix picture wise. enjoy

Small Bluetooth remote Record/Stop button controller with screen to provide real time status from camera of :
Aperture Shutter Angle ISO Temperature Tint Integral bright LED illuminates to show record status.
Kickstarter in August.
Price will be €60
Production version will not be orange.

 

Leaving aside discussions about imaging chips for a moment, if there are any better actual chips than the thrice cooked ones available from the van at that market then I've yet to taste them

Yes it will be on Kickstarter.
I understand the apprehension about Kickstarter to be honest but rest assured nothing of mine will ever be going on there until it is ready to go from a functionality point of view, which both this and the small one already more or less are.
The problems with Kickstarter invariably happen when it is being used to fund development rather than just funding production.
I'll put up a small video when time allows next week to show both of them in operation.
The small one has another trick (or two) up its sleeve that I'll also show in the video.

Buffer was big enough to make this on the E-M1 II. Not tried the same thing on the E-M1X yet. Maybe buffer is the same, or larger. I'll find out soon enough.
