Not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but the reason I don't want to indulge AI is exactly because of it's ability to divorce me from the minutia. (even though what you're outlining here is not minutia. Having AI do an audio mix? Bleh.) Hey, this may be completely stupid and stubborn, but I still believe that the craft of things is in the detail of things. Always has been. Don't know the details? You won't know the craft. Don't know the craft? It's going to be hard to achieve one's voice in the art you practice. Now, are you worried about the clock? The time you're putting in? Nothing wrong with that, but if you are worried, the chances are you're not making anything special, right? Again, if your goal is to not create art, just push content, then you're eventually going to be replaced by AI totally anyway. You got a small window, I guess. Enjoy that while you can. But, for me, it's not about making things look pristine or ideally technically proficient. There's a deeper quality to things than that. Wabi sabi Here's an analogy litmus test for consideration: Is music better when it's a little pitchy? At the end of the day, I'm just one guy staying true to my goals. I realize they're not other's goals. -

Internal RAW probably was just for bragging rights, but yeah, it could backfire. For a entry level camera, it would be perfectly acceptable to have external RAW option (which it has, with full quality) - if you are saving money in a camera, probably would not have a beast computer to handle external files. But if Nikon make a rangefinder version of this one (or if the ZF had the same size), I would probably jump ship to Nikon. -

Nope, they won´t. If social media does not become regulated and co-reponsible for the content they publish, they won't. He had our Trump here in Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro. He blocked the Covid vaccines for months - Pfizer offered their vaccines for a very low price as soon as it was approved, because they wanted to use Brazil as an example. They sent 101 emails (yep) for all the authorities, NONE had an answer. A congressional investigation after discovered that it was blocked because some of their allies were trying to put some intermediates on vaccines to profit around US$1 per dose. More than 700.000 people died in Brazil because of Covid. A father of a friend and a grandmother of another friend between them, both very healthy, more than 5 months after the Pfizer offer. They probably be alive today. Bolsonaro even tried a coup - in the election day, he sent the federal road police to make blockades "for safety" - but only in places that he was in a major advantage, to try to block people to get to local vote places. In Jan 8th 2023, they incited people to broke into all the major institutions, a version of the USA's Jan 6th; but here it was like the White House, The Capitol and the Supreme Court were invaded and destroyed. It was a plan to force the new president to call the military forces - than the militaries would depose the new government. With some luck, the riot was dissolved, a investigation was opened, an a lot of coup plans were discovered - as with Trump, their allies and dumbfucks lunatics, and coup plans were found handwritten over their desks...plans that included killing the current president, the vice-president and one Supreme Court judge. They tried to explode a gasoline truck in front of the Brasilia airport in the Christmas Eve, since it was full of people. They are prosecuted now, and probably will go to jail (in factm, probably Bolsonaro will fly to Argentina or USA to not be arrested). And even with all this, around 35 to 38% of the population would vote for him. Because a majority of Brazil's population are permanently addicted to social media. Almost all of these 38% reads nothing else than far-right channels in Whatsapp and Telegram - they are bombarded so much by fake news that they believe in no one more than these info. Like Q'Anon guys. I have relatives, that were (and in a good part stills) some of the most honest and caring people that I know, and they firmly believe than now we live in a dictartorship that only Bolsonaro could destroy. That China will invade Brazil through Uruguay. That Bill Gates patented the Covid virus. All bombarded by social media. If I put a video with some copywrighted music in Youtube, in less than a minute I receive a warning. A FUCKING MUSIC - much more hard to pinpoint than words or images. Don't try to convince me that they cannot spot fake news on the fly. But they will not be accountable. And the consequences will be VERY bad - because USA will be hit with a massive reccession, but the far right will say that other countries, or the immigrants, or ANYHTING stupid are the real culprits, and these people will believe. And I see no easy outcome for this. -

Some new details courtesy of Petapixel: - Will support 4:3 open gate (brace yourself for rolling shutter comments!) - "Will have an electronic variable ND filter" - 0.6-2.1/2-7 stops - I'm assuming this is in-body, but they didn't specify - Supports an internal NP-W235, seemingly as a backup - CF Express type B and SD card slots - Supports Tascam XLR Microphone handle - Frame.io support https://petapixel.com/2025/04/06/new-fujifilm-gfx-eterna-details-a-fancy-variable-nd-frame-io-and-more/ If they bring 4:3 to the GFX 100 II, it could be fun for anamorphic shooters, especially if anybody comes out with some decent anamorphics that cover it for under $5k. The electronic variable ND is a good idea too. Still, if they don't nail the pricing, it'll be a hard sell vs the Ursa 17K now that it has a $22k (or so?) body-only option (or maybe more now for those of us in freedom-land). At least the 44x33 sensor is a differentiating factor vs the 56x24mm sensor. -
