It's only open to US and Canadian residents

The Greatest of them All, the My Rode Reel, was killed mysteriously, without any former warning. Those guys had made the festival superb. Wish they had a longer duration for the short films though (under 10 mins would be perfect). P.S.: I noticed they've diversified from filmmaking to creator of the year awards. They've made a huge category for the prizes ( The awards span across 22 content categories: Adventure and Outdoors, ASMR, Beauty, Comedy, DIY and Hobbies, Entertainment Review, Fashion, Food and Cooking, Gaming, Gear and Tech Reviews, Gym and Fitness, Health and Wellness, Home and Studio Tours, How-to and Tutorial, Interview, Journalism, Music Production and Performance, Science, Short Film and Documentary, Sports,bTravel and Lifestyle, Video Podcasts). https://rode.com/en/about/news-info/introducing-the-rode-creator-of-the-year-awards-2024

Making Smartphones requires way more skills than making cameras. RED, the infamous patent thief tried and failed miserably with the Hydrogen One. Even Sony, who despite making the majority of Image Sensor for most industries, as well as some great displays, as as having a great gaming legacy, still isn't anywhere in the top 5-10 smartphones. Smartphone imaging is not as much about glass as it's about Computational Photography. Apple has created a brand image like nobody else. And the US government will ban any company, from any country, that even remotely poses a threat, regardless of whether it's the Democrats or the Republicans in power. In my opinion, smartphone politics and success is way more complicated than Japanese Camera politics.

Apparently Matt Frazer hints that the S1H successor is still in the picture. And that Panasonic has an interesting lineup planned (for other models also to be introduced).

God knows how he gets the limitless millions that he does. Many of his videos have him handing out money more than most game shows and lotteries. It's almost he owns the federal reserve.

Ignore it. Panasonic has done this (move the charging to USB-C) with some other model too, less than a year ago. They probably thought that if they announced it, some more people would buy it. Panasonic should consciously discard every remnant of the DFD circus. Otherwise their 8 year old cameras are also reasonably impressive

Interesting. That's what most people said was the reason why the iPhone shows 12 stops of dynamic range (whereas the real dynamic range and thus exposure latitude would be much lesser).

This is amazing Andrew. Your B&W GH2 video was very surrealistic and the natural grain at high ISO on that camera is crazy. Could you also compare the G9ii with the GH7? It apparently has slightly better dynamic range, and a tiny bit better rolling shutter too. https://www.cined.com/camera-database/?camera=LUMIX-GH7

Every AI is stolen work. I remember watching some asian film whose story was apparently written by AI, which turned out to be a Hindi film, released a few years before. All major Corporations into AI, are using copyrighted and private work without explicit permissions, release and compensation. Starting with Google and Microsoft. The question is how much similarity can quality as AI work, and how much would impinge upon the original. This colour scheme and grade hardly seems absolutely unique or never used in film before. Also people wearing coats or high rises in the background is also not really one of a kind. Hollywood and Dems are just frustrated with Musk. This probably is just an excuse to try and take him to court. They'll go to any extent to sue, silence and cancel anyone on the opposite side.

Very interesting ... Basically Sony shot itself in the foot with this sensor. Twice.

What a damp squib. They could have Totally avoided this ...

Tangerine Budget = $100,000 This film's budget = $75,000,000 That is 750 TIMES the Budget Are we really comparing budgets here

"However, Danny Boyle’s forthcoming zombie flick, 28 Years Later, was shot over the summer with a bunch of adapted iPhone 15s, WIRED has learned, making the Hollywood thriller, with its budget of $75 million, the biggest movie to date filmed with smartphones." This is apart from the Insane Lenses Attached to the Camera, big budget additional gear, God knows what else etc. Tangerine was a film actually shot on an iPhone woth attached lenses. But genuinely shot on it, with minimum extras. This Danny Boyle film saying it's shot on an iPhone is just so ... dishonest

What's new in these cameras? Do they have newer sensors, or even PDAF? Why is Panasonic suddenly releasing these two cameras? " ...Multiple IP Transmission Standards ..." So basically the same cameras with slightly better connectivity?
