Exactly - we are programmed to to believe what we believe for the benefits of the powers that be. We are programed/incented to take sides so that the rich get richer. We all have confirmation bias and confirm what we are programmed to confirm. Trump, Biden, Harris, Obama, Bush, the Clintons all play for the same team. That's what they all laughed when Trump said I ran into Hillary and she said pardon me - they are not putting each other in jail - they know the joke is on the common person. We need to get to the montage scene in our own personal movies where we realize what is closer to the true: Programming equals profit for the powers that be and we are all programmed and pitted against each other and we actually have more in common than we are programmed to believe. Jules in Pulp Fiction had his realization. I wish all of our personal story arcs would include a realization about how we are all programmed to some degree or another... -
I've been using a6700 for a while, but not anymore because evf is so small or unconfortable to see througt it... I just can't get used to it. I really prefer the a6500 evf. It's rare how can they make worse that kind of essencial parts of the machine. The big grip of the 6700 is nice ergonomics for holding a tele lens wich was one of my needs for nature stuff... but it's a bigger camera beside the 6500. So the size of 6700 is also like a downgrade when you look for a smaller and ligther machine in the land of aps-c cameras. On video specs you can think 6700 is very powefull with the fx30 sensor but again, it's not the same because on a6700 you don't have 120p with all-intra codec 600mbps... Only xavc s and hs -h265-... So another dealbreaker for me, cause i want to capture wildlife in slowmo but i don't have the unleashed sensor power. Of course the sensor and video specs improvement beside the older aps c generation is huge in 4k land, where the a6500 have his limitations, but again you are paying almost two 6500 for one 6700... About AF i don't notice impresive improvement between diferent sony cameras. I've been using sony for a while, nex5r, a6500 and recently the fx30, zve1, a7s3 and 6700 in nature, mainly on mountains and in a forest recording different animals and birds between trees and leaves in very busy frames and manual focus is my best and only friend. I can't see an improvement on that challenging conditions between the different cameras, but also in some flying birds shots with sky behind the subject, i really doubt if i can see any difference in the speed or accurance of focus between older cameras and the new ones with ai af tech. Maybe ai tech is focused more on marketing than camera capabilities. So my experience using 6700 for a couple of months was kind of disapointing, but maybe because my special needs of all-intra codec 120p... But the main problem was that evf lacks of good view experience. -

From a Canadian perspective as well. The US Democratic Party would be considered centre-right in Canada. Having said that even Canadian politics is more right than it used to be, much like the world. This was predicted by historians. When resources run out, people start fighting over their differences (which previously would have been ignored) then political opportunists see this and use it to gain power. -
Isn’t that precisely the problem? What we “believe” to be true isn’t enough. We should endeavour to listen to the evidence so we know what is true. (And, yes, we can argue about the evidence and its significance but that is all part of the epistemological process - it doesn’t diminish the difference between what is true and what is not. Irrespective of what I, or anyone else, might believe). -

good question. Colour rendition, depth and resolution. Actually I still struggle to identifiy what specs would make a better camera and definettelly not totally objective. But I love the raw files that come out of my ricoh GR. I also feel like the benefits of a higher megapixel camera is not only cropping, but is there a perception of resolution increase (not digital sharpening)? I am seriously asking this. I have not done or seen comparison but maybe the A7C and S5 24mpx are sharper than my EOS R ? so what comes into play? I would like to have a sharp camera for digital visualization( so no pixel peeping, rarelly printing, no pixel peeping) in that case, did you see the benefit of a A7R over say the S5? the used A7RII is so cheap now, almost for 600 pounds. I considered buyint it for stills and an xm-5 for video Thanks for all other considerations. ZF looks amazing, a bit bulkier for me though, checked one at the store yesterday. c70 most of times now because of canon colors and sometimes even using the EOS R as a second camera. But also BMPC6K I usually have good EF glass at my disposal and only own one 35mm 1.8 RF and one sigma 24. 1.8 EF Do you like it so far? yes, makes sense, I am looking at it, not sure if more megapixels make sense for me though if I am not cropping, no pixel peeping and not often printing. If it does increase the perpection of resolution than I would be in.People say 24 megapixels is "enough", I wonder if it is as good as - if you are not printring croping etc.. if it doesnt make such a difference I should either put more money on the a7CII or 10 Bit would make me rent much less defintelly. Colours make a huge difference for me and I do see a drastic difference. I could even shoot 1080p. I see the s5 can shoot beautifully in 1080 10bit, and I know I could achieve a good result with sony 8 bit slog 2, I have done that, but it would not be for any kind of shooting since it is more demanding. But then, if megapixels do matter i could only have a A7RII, if megapixels dont matter thaat much and for lower a A7C with the befenits of poecketporatbility. thanks for pointing out this, it was not on my radar. I will have a look at a store. the RF lenses options are not great but yes, the 28mm 2.8 would fit perfectly. I have the 35 1.8 which has terrible autofocus, hunting all the time. from what I read the R8 would be perfect apart from battery which seems to be quite bad
