  1. I legitimately think that the consumers will eventually abandon any manufacturer that tries this. And, if they all try it together, I see a mass revolt against new models and perhaps even a movement to โ€œolderโ€ cameras.
  2. I 100% agree with you. There will always be a place for authentic video and photo capture no matter how good AI gets. Things are about to get disrupted certainly, but itโ€™s not all doom and gloom. Actually, I suspect there to be a bit of a counter-movement to AI shortly after it gets to the levels people are worried about. I see authenticity almost becoming a brand all on its own.
  3. Higher education marketing and communications. Innately human-centric marketing that doesn't have the same corporate hellscape culture of tech, finance, or most consumer goods companies. Colleges and universities are trending towards hiring content teams full-time versus outsourcing work for cost savings, consistency, and efficiency. Even schools that outsource usually have project managers and communications leads internally that maintain the brand message. I've worked in this space my whole career. It's nice here.
  4. FWIW, I found the 50Mbps HD from the GH3 to be far better than the GH4 with the same settings. In general, I found the GH4's HD modes to be very poor compared to its own 4K or the GH3's HD.
  5. I think the Hollywood machine will largely remain the same. However, this will inspire many, many indie or lower budget productions. I really hope Edwards/Fraser detail how using such small camera package impacted the overall production. I imagine the time savings were immense. And, I imagine the FX3's low light abilities affected how they lit the picture.
  6. Right but that barrel connection makes using another third party solution like NPF or even V Mount wayyyy easier than before
  7. My thoughts, too! I'd think any Micro shooter is pretty happy with this new model.
  8. The internals are all fantastic, but I don't understand why they've muddied the waters so much by using the Pocket 6K Pro body. The whole philosophy Grant talked about just screams for it to be a traditional video camera form factor. ...the app seems really cool though!
  9. I'm wondering if they may trickle some of that 12K sensor tech into a cheaper body. Pocket 12K? Or maybe a full frame sensor? Just 4 hours until we find out.
  10. I'm veryyyy excited about this. I'll probably never own oneโ€”I'm not at that level. But, it shares enough of the FX line's DNA and is cheap enough that I can see myself renting this for bigger projects. Seems like a real winner.
  11. Hmm yes and no. A lot of FX3 shooters, including myself, only film at the base ISOs to maximize image quality. Very often I'll need to shoot at ISO 12,800 and ND down to get the right exposure indoors. I'm also surprised how often I've found a good excuse to shoot at a super high ISO now that I have the option, too.
  12. Oh great! I missed that. Definitely a deal there. Iโ€™ve seen several projections of $1995 so this is a welcome surprise
  13. Looks like an absolute beast. He doesn't list a price here, but he says it's "significantly less money" than the FX30. I may need to pick one up as a C cam.
  14. My vintage zooms hardly come out on shoots with me anymore. They don't have much of a place anymore. They're not as convenient as a modern zoom with AF and they don't have same IQ or character as a vintage prime. They're just sorta meh for me. I do still love my Tokina 28-70mm though.
  15. I have to believe this was only possible because of the outcry of dedicated readers/viewers of DPreview. I'm thrilled by this.
