Is there really no electronics on the lens mount? That's a bit of a shame. Is there any info on crop factor, as I understand it's not an MFT sensor, only MFT mount.

We went to the moon in 1969 and it's obvious that people would eventually want to build a base there. So there's no need to get excited about the company that makes that possible. Even with the associated motion sickness and jarring take-off.

'I can't believe a company would release broadcast equipment and try to get ahead in a new broadcasting industry at the National Association of Broadcasters.' I work in video and it's annoyed me that Canon keep releasing new printers! What do you mean Panasonic has a new microwave, I need faster AF! I don't need a PS5 for God's sake, why won't Sony give me better menus! At the very least, BMD is keeping within the same field and pushing the boundaries throughout the whole workflow as much as they're able to. Parts of this technology will eventually come to the more 'interesting' products and while we're waiting there's plenty of choice from other brands. It feels like I'm defending the brand, which I don't mean to do, but damn. Complaining that groundbreaking products don't fit your own expectations is pretty wild to me. If it's not for you, it's not for you. No need to get upset. My intial point remains, the amount of times Grant says things like 'but there's a problem with this process, so we've also created this solution' is very promising. I don't see many other companies thinking so far ahead and getting around problems that don't even exist yet.

They invented, solved the problems of and instantly became a leader in a whole new industry. Live, multi-cam immersive production. That's the closest thing to teleportation you can get without the risks of becoming half man half fly. Imagine BBC's yearly Glastonbury coverage being shot and broadcast live with this immersive workflow. You'll have the whole festival in your living room, with clean toilets just through the door. Arri and RED have film, Panasonic and Sony have indie and YouTube, Blackmagic stands alone on the forefront of a sci-fi world where the competition aren't even looking.

This guy has made a great tool to make Resolve super easy to use. In his examples he makes pretty great looking grades within seconds, and it's all done inside the EDIT page, using the viewer as a slider canvas. Drag up for more, drag down for less.

Preview can crop and gives you finer controls for the size of the file on export. I think it can be used as a fairly usable, basic and lightweight photo fidgeter. unless you need to straighten your image But a similar type of idea for video seems to be missing. Aside from trimming and rotating individual clips.

On Mac, you can do this in finder. Right click you image(s) > Quick Actions > Convert Image. From there you can pick JPEG, PNG or HEIF - and then a few size options. The 'Actual Size' JPEG option just turned my 28mb 5152 x 7728 sample photo into 7.3mb 5152 x 7728. While 'Large' made it 182kb 853 x 1280 It's a slow afternoon, so i tested small too and it went to 26kb 213 x 320. --- The Quick Actions also lets you trim video and a few other things, but obviously no real editing LUTs, cuts or... butts. A lightweight NLE does sound pretty appealing

It really surprises me how many of these fuckers pose and smile for the camera. They're absolutely insane. It's absolutely insane. This world is absolutely insane.

This anti-fascist tool is apparently also an admission to being a terrorist. https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/ice-making-list-of-anyone-who-films

I just read a report that in retaliation to Greenland threats, European leaders are planning to introduce trade blocks with America, and part of that is a potential voiding of American patents. What could this mean for the camera industry? Suddenly everyone can put compressed raw into their cameras without having to argue with RED? https://en.people.cn/n3/2026/0119/c90000-20415649.html "The mechanism would allow immediate retaliation, including punitive tariffs, market bans, financial sanctions, and the suspension of U.S. patents and licences, without recourse to the United Nations or the World Trade Organization."

Is this why they alegedly rebranded the Osmo Pocket 3

I've been away from this forum for a while, since around the time I got my XT3 and thought that was the endgame camera for hybrid shooting. In many ways, I was right, until this summer when it dropped and cracked the screen. The first and hopefully last time I've ever dropped a camera. I sent it away to be repaired, however, after paying the €200 to replace the screen, I went to collect it and was informed by the front desk that they don't actually have the parts for the repair, so they've upgraded me to an XT5 at no extra cost. That's a service I can get behind and they've for sure earned a life-long customer with that! Anyone got any starter tips, or lesser known, but great features to look outfor with this camera?

Wasn't there rumours of a pee pee tape a few years ago?

That's no different to Adobe's subscription. Access to the apps, and cloud storage. I hope it's not a slippery slope, but I also don't really understand how Resolve makes Blackmagic any money at all. As a solo op/editor, I have 3 Studio licenses from camera purchases, each one can run on two machines at the same time. So in theory, I could hire 5 other editors and we can all run the full version at no extra cost. Even if I didn't have the spare licenses, the rental cost would have to be very low to make it worth it for customers. How long could you rent it, while staying under the $300 for the full license? I hope they start introducing big features as plug-ins instead. Studio licence + $50 for Magic Mask 3 for example - and that's tied to your serial number / cloud account. (Cloud account is free if you don't need extra storage)
