  1. According to my humble experience, just like a very known phenomenon that people who zealously concentrate on practicing religion end up being the most materialist/machiavellist member of their community in the long term, those who see no value in camera other than specs, or in best case pure utilitarianism, end up advocating smartphone as replacement for every possible photography tool.
  2. Have they explained somewhere how they get this ranking? If one entity rent the same 24-70mm twice in a month, and it counts as two, the whole thing doesn't show any meaningful information.
  3. Not much problem for christian nationalists who don't want to see non white tourists and non religious white tourists walk on their country's soil.
  4. FX3 ended up as both elixir and poison for Sony. It established E mount as go-to choice for professional video, and at the same time became the benchmark of "good enough". They will update it with a super fast sensor (either a 6k120 from 12k, or 5k240 from a 67MP sensor with dual gain HDR, both available next year), but that makes it a $5000 camera, then FX3 wins again with just being cheaper.
  5. Like other picture profiles provided by Nikon, it would be way better at 50% intensity. But I don't think you can change that with these recipes. How can someone submit their recipes for Nikon Cloud? I like to see EOSHD in that list.
  6. One of them leaked the script of Witkoff's negotiations with the Russian guy. Another one, an admiral, questioned orders and forced to resign. The problem is there won't be enough of them, because unlike Hollywood scenarios, you need more than few heros to save the country from fascists, it needs uprising by millions of people (tho I don't believe these clowns are fascist. They're too dumb to stick with a particular ideology).
  7. So it uses the dual gain HDR in mechanical shutter mode just like S1ii to achieve 15 stops. But noise reduction applied on all ISOs. Panasonic got the same DR but without NR, thanks to its lower resolution/bigger pixels maybe We still see the Japanese stubbornness dealing with ISO. Even with extremely low read out noise at base ISO, they don't apply it as metadata-only settings to let the software increase the brightness digitally to save the highlights at higher ISO. The sensor is ultra clean yet you lose 3 stops of potential highlight recovery at ISO 1600.

    Nikon Zr is coming

    It's the same "Canon makes better skin tones" superstition among photographers while we could get whatever skin tones we wanted with raw files all these years, but this time among videographers. Now convenience is part of the color science tho. If the image is just two clicks away from their perception of pleasing colors, means the camera produces great colors.

    Nikon Zr is coming

    Somebody discovered the h.265 softness issue is a variable bitrate bug. With Nlog its too low. It should be 320Mb/s but its 32Mb/s. They forgot a zero 🙂
  10. At the moment the best lens to body ratio in the market is like 1.7, and a lot of that is standing on the shoulder of kit lenses. Having third party option is good, but majority of people don't buy many lenses to begin with.
  11. Horrible line skipping in Full HD. Pleasing noise in Angle of View Priority mode.
  12. Thats scary response. But I hope its due to another half baked firmware, like the one they released for A7IV.
  13. Meanwhile Sony dropped the price of FX2 in China and now its only $2350. A7V is $2550.
