    • Ok in what must be in world record time. Both the card reader and the memory card arrived today. Honestly wasn't expecting them for another week or so.  You know its almost impossible to extricate items from their plastic package without totally destroying that packaging... Lord i hope i don't need to send it back...   Not used Kingston before, but from years ago i knew they made ram chips, thought i'd take a chance. I have used Ugreen before and had no issues with their products and it was the cheapest uh2 reader.  I should probably download some kind of speed test program to see if i got my moneys worth.  The sirui has been living on the e-m1 at the moment. I take both with me when i go out in the car, it sits on the front seat with a towel thrown over it. Hopefully no one works out there's $2000 worth of camera and lens just sitting there. I must be some kind of optimist as the amount of moisture that keeps falling from the sky is impressive.  Theres a busker that sits out the front of the local supermarket some days. I'm guessing he has done some living as i think he'd make a suitable candidate for some black and white photography. He has a dog as well and i reckon i can squeeze everything into a photo with 24mm sirui. I then plan to steal, adopt, modify some ideas Mercer mentioned in the lens thread and see where that leads.   Turns out i have crystal disk mark on the comp already. Formatted the card and a quick test gives me this. which is slightly better than advertised on the packaging. Thats with the ugreen card reader into a c port on the top of the computer.  Its turning into a bit of a blog isnt it ? Next challenge is to shoot some video. 
    • Oh!  Sure enough, lookings like it's using the UC 12K sensor. UC 12K body is $7k, current Pyxis is $3k so...  probably somewhere between those numbers. Lack of internal ND is a bummer, but I'm guessing that means it'll have a mirrorless mount available.  If the weight is closer to existing Pyxis (1.5kg) vs UC 12K (4kg), it could be a real winner - especially if it's closer to $4k than to $5k.  
    • Great value in every country in the world except the US where it will cost 17,000 US dollars.
    • Nikon would doubtless say you should buy one of our more expensive cameras with a CF Express Type B card slot... This is a low-cost camera (in today's full-frame market), so I'm not surprised it's limited to UHS-II SD cards.
    • I think their "plan" for it is "MaKE iT hERE" Oh, that doesn't make sense for 50-year old camera lenses?  "tOO BaD wErE MaKInG MuRCa GrEaT" I don't care much about an import tax on diamonds, if that's the example that we're using.  I'm much more concerned with the impacts of things like the aforementioned 10% tax on Australian beef - though Australian beef is only around 12% of imports.  But it's on Canadian, Mexican, and Brazilian beef (our three biggest import partners for it) as well... Tariffs on luxury goods like diamonds (and cameras) is... a little whatever, it's irritating.  Putting them on basic goods that people need to live, on the other hand...  that's just cruel. And in the case of stuff like beef, our domestic beef production is already about as high as it's going to be. Welcome to the land of the not-so-free and the home of the absolutely unnecessary inflation.
