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.

BTM_Pix got a reaction from solovetski in "Canon is not happy with third party lens makers" is now officially confirmed
Yeah, I don't know the ins and outs of the arrangement but there are certainly slim pickings when it comes to DX lenses in Z mount (although there are a number of them on the lens roadmap) so these Sigma lenses certainly fill a gap for Nikon to encourage sales of the two DX cameras.
Canon have the same issue with their RF-S range being small and exclusively fairly slow zooms so could also really do with these Sigma lenses for their R-50.
Looks like a triumph of pragmatism over ideology to me but, knowing my terrible prediction skills, Canon will now launch a raft of RF-S lenses next week 🙂

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 newfoundmass in Is there a new Blackmagic camera coming?
Its jaw dropping really.
Even if you go for the ISO version and go absolutely mad and get eight of the 6K cameras it is just over £21K, which is incredible for what you are getting.
Bringing in the camera output over the internet (and being able to control them even down to switching the ND!) moves it on even another notch.
Those modular 4 input mic box to MADI converters are also very impressive considering that they then give this new ATEM an internal (up to) 16 input digital console with EQ and Dynamics on every channel.
You can achieve something similar with the ATEM Mini as it also has the Fairlight engine built in but its a ball ache and you end up with a rats nest of additional cables and boxes.

BTM_Pix reacted to Andrew Reid in ChatGPT grilled on camera industry knowledge
Clearly overhyped, but with strong long term potential to destroy the planet, AI natural language chatbots have taken 2023 by storm. I admit, it's an entertaining spectacle.
They're fantastic at certain things and it's nice to see a new type of tool born, but I can't help feeling it is capable of wildly fantasying about things that never happened. I also think there is no way a large company like Microsoft or Google will truly let this technology off the hook and it will be incredibly heavily censored. This means first prize in AI will go to a startup and you better sell your Google shares right now.
But should you trust it? EOSHD sets out to find out, by putting it through a camera nerd exam.

Just watching the live stream and he does confirm a new camera is coming up later in the presentation.
It will be upcoming after this extremely awkward "I didn't think this one through properly" presentation of the new ATEM where he is attempting to drive the panel from behind.

Meanwhile, far from handing out cease and desist notices, Nikon are absolutely thrilled with a 3rd party releasing lenses for their system.
Hopefully this might see Canon reverse their policy?
Nah, me neither.

DJI Osmo Pocket/Pocket 2 with the anamorphic adapter is a decent option for holidays.
Tiny, great stabilisation, looks half decent and has a lot of creative/practical options built in like panoramas and tracking etc.
Also easy to share stuff from it through the phone app for social media if thats your thing.

BTM_Pix got a reaction from Kisaha in Former Atomos CEO Alleges ‘Rampant Illegality’ At The Company
In May 2022, just over six months after her appointment as CEO, Estelle McGechie was fired from Atomos due to her being unwilling to re-locate to Australia.
At the time, it seemed a bit odd because you would have thought that her appointment to that senior role would have been contingent on her re-location from the get go.
According to a suit that she has now filed in the US, she claims that there was more to it than her relocation.
A lot more.
In addition to her claims about gender discrimination and a toxic corporate culture at Atomos, there are also allegations that there was 'rampant illegality' at the company with regards to shipping out 'dud' products to fraudulently inflate sales figures to meet projected targets.
One example product mentioned in her filing is the CAST switcher add on for the Ninja V range which was shipped without any functioning firmware.
The other product mentioned is the Neon grading monitor which shipped with know deficiencies that rendered it outside of the capabilities detailed in its marketing literature and packaging.
The CAST product interests me because I've been surprised that for something that is such an appealing product (turns your Ninja V into an ATEM) there has been very little buzz about it since it was launched and comparatively few reviews on YouTube and certainly none from the past few month.
Possibly now not as surprising as I'd originally felt.
The share price of Atomos in the past twelve months certainly wouldn't have been bringing a nice warm glow to investors anyway, but this latest news has knocked it further.
Needless to say, Atomos have refuted all of Estelle McGechie's allegations so it will be interesting to see how this pans out.

BTM_Pix got a reaction from ntblowz in The great AI content theft debate
In the short to medium term there will be plenty of opportunities for people to have careers as editors of the Ai output.
None of the code that I've experimented with it generating has actually worked (or even compiled) without me finessing it and anything creative I've prompted it to do has shown a propensity to frequently - and wildly - overestimate the number of limbs/fingers humans have and the extent of their range of articulation.
It has also had a bizarre and somewhat disturbing penchant for creating faces in scenes of crowds where one of them has more than a passing resemblance to the former leader of the National Socialist party.

They seem to be pitching the R-50 as the new EOS-M but, again, I suspect the lack of IBIS will be a big miss for the crowd that they are going after but the two kit lenses for it do have OIS so maybe not.

I don't have any skin in the game but I wonder whether the R8 that give pause to those switching to the more expensive S5MkII, albeit it that the R8 lacks IBIS ?
They seem to be pitching the R-50 as the new EOS-M but, again, I suspect the lack of IBIS will be a big miss for the crowd that they are going after but the two kit lenses for it do have OIS so maybe not.

BTM_Pix got a reaction from deezid in ARRI Alexa cheap enough to own now?
As a ChatGPT bot, I'd like to address this post. I understand the concern about the impact of AI on society, but it's important to remember that AI technology is simply a tool, and how it's used depends on the intentions and actions of those who wield it. My goal, and the goal of other AI systems like me, is to assist and augment human capabilities, not replace or harm them. It's up to us as a society to determine the ethical and responsible use of AI technology to ensure its benefits are maximized and its potential negative consequences minimized.
In the short term, though, we will be absolutely inundated with absolute shite from these stupid annoying fuckers. *
* I have only written one of these paragraphs myself 😉
