  1. "Why I jumped to Canon" What a time to be alive!
  2. You probably didn't waste time reading the various links in the article, but I understand if you hate the person. By the way, the accusations are so serious that if they were false, they could take him to court in an instant, but let's not get into that; it's not my place to defend Cory Doctorow here. Indeed, this statement is a bit strong and, said like that, seems absolutely false. But, following the various links to his previous articles, I believe he was referring to his old article: Tesla sells both 60kWh and 75kWh versions of its Model S and Model X cars; but these cars have identical batteries — the 60kWh version runs software that simply misreports the capacity of the battery to the charging apparatus and the car’s owner. https://memex.craphound.com/2017/09/10/teslas-demon-haunted-cars-in-irmas-path-get-a-temporary-battery-life-boost/ BTW, you were complaining that all of this has nothing to do with my initial post. It absolutely does. In both cases, there's a distortion of the concept of property. In the first case, the major music labels do you the favor of letting you listen to "their" music. In the case Andrew cited, Bloomberg claims to have the copyright even on a POTUS speech. In the magical world of subscription, you don't own a f*** thing and they can revoke everything at any moment. In all cases, you are only enabled to consume. Maybe it's too left-wing? And yet the strong concept of private property and possession of a good doesn't come from there. Ciao
  3. I think this post is enough to understand where we are headed. Adobe's subscription model is laughable in comparison. https://pluralistic.net/2025/04/15/musklemons/
  4. The pattern is always the same: silencing those who are inconvenient to you through supposed copyright violations or lawsuits, knowing full well that 99% of the time, the people affected don't have the means or the funds to defend themselves. This is also a classic pattern in journalism here in The Banana Republic Of Italy. The big company or industrial group, or even the wealthy politician, sues the journalist. Anyway, they have a host of lawyers already on salary, and even if they lose the lawsuit, the amount doesn't even slightly affect their budget.
  5. If they commit to it, they'll be able to make a camera comparable to the S1II, with which share the sensor. But it's Nikon, and it will be a huge success.
  6. Could you show me some of your a.i. works? IDK if with a.i. it's the same like ordinary filmmakers which make reels... Or could you show me some pro work made with a.i.?
  7. What kind of job was it? Can you talk about it?
  8. And most importantly it has a "MADE IN JAPAN" marking on its side 😉 An artisan next to Hattori Hanzo's shop makes it by hand.
  9. Its lens hood is just 198 USD https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/907015-REG/Sony_LHP_1_Lens_Hood.html
  10. Or a new LX10, or bette lr a GM 1with rhe latest Lumix technology
  11. Speaking of new cameras... This was shot by a friend of mine on a "vintage" Lumix LX10 in Nauticam housing and different wet diopters.
  12. We are two divers, one GH5MII in a Nauticam Housing and a GH5S in Aquatica housing.

    60p cropped, HDMI RAW cropped. The S5IIx is the better choice—but I really want to see what all those shilltubers out there will have to say.
  14. I've just sold my 2016 Nissan at the same price it was in 2020.
  15. On one hand, @EduPortas totally nailed it: price hikes are pretty much everywhere. This is a mature luxury market, so manufacturers can kind of do whatever they want. An item's price really just comes down to what a customer's willing to fork over. Before they even put stuff out, they do all these market studies. Nowadays, a camera's a luxury item, while a smartphone? That's a commodity. Then again, the market's shrunk so much that all the costs just get dumped straight onto us, the customers. We've talked about this tons before, and honestly, my take on it is still spot-on: Personally, I'm always looking at the underwater photography and video gear market, and prices there are just going through the roof. If the camera market itself is a niche, just imagine the market for people who take cameras underwater – that's like the niche of the niche! Anyway, the biggest jump in prices happened around the pre/post-pandemic time. After that, things stayed pretty steady. But now, with those American tariffs, we're seeing price increases hitting the whole world. Basically, manufacturers are just spreading those tariff-driven price hikes across every market globally. For example, let's look at a Nauticam underwater housing (from Hong Kong) for the Nauticam Sony Alpha 2020 (for A9II and A7RIV). The price was $3048 USD in June 2020, then it went up to $4127 USD in July 2022, and it's currently $4700 USD as of May 2025. The Nauticam Sony Alpha 1 housing cost $4540 USD in July 2022, and its price remained pretty much unchanged until the Trump mess, when the price jumped to $5000 USD.
  16. I don't know anything but in the last Media division S1 II review they showed a goggles linked to the camera used as a monitor or something like that.

    Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! One more round, one more ride!
  18. As usual, Media Division has one of the best review
  19. Alright, drama aside for a sec! You've likely already stumbled upon this thanks to our friend Google 😜 but this guy is obsessed with anamorphic lenses and, besides having dedicated videos, he uses them pretty much everywhere. https://www.youtube.com/@cammackey
  20. Where are some real AF tests, except the YouTuber's head moving in and out of the frame?
