Indeed, looks like a game changer...

WOW Indeed! Nice to know : ) Please post your findings, thanks! I am in course for one or a couple of them... Right, on the spot, who wants it for less (under the right settings), other than higher frame rate acquisition? Higher resolution is always useful not necessarily for delivery but for handling it before :- )

Anyway @kye remember this time it's H.265... Without mention there are some inspiring/promising shots out there which looks to put it at the Ace Pro level, at least under sun light... Let alone some specific usage for certain purpose such as frame rate (4K100fps) this time under usable output coupled to different reframe possible options along the capability of introducing a few camera movements within the framing itself. Now at acceptable outcome? Many times we need some device doing it by itself 'cause you're simply operating something else. I guess overheating concerns are prone to be more of an issue (when you'll want to buy the new toy only for 8K or 4K 100fps) you can overcome though, with the purchase of two units anyway and yet try to play with 3D acquisition when that's not a trouble, isn't it? ;- )

News in the last 24 hours... new resignation: «Over the past 18 years, I have had the privilege of being immersed in one of the most groundbreaking underdog tech-success stories of all time. Against all odds, a small, tactical group of like-minded individuals transformed into a focused army targeted at revolutionizing the cinematography and photography industries. We watched from the inside as RED DIGITAL CINEMA emerged from the vapor, and forged itself into an industry titan. I would like to thank Jim Jannard and Jarred Land for a life-defining opportunity and embodying the essence of true product and brand design pioneers. Constantly walking on the edge of accepted reality and questioning the fabric of the universe was the minimum price of entry. Huge congratulations go to NIKON for acquiring the best camera company in existence. I have decided to resign from the post of Chief Design Officer and confidently pass the torch on to the next generation of disruptors to evolve, grow, and metamorphose within NIKON. Thank you to everyone who has embraced and supported our unorthodox methodologies, and mechanical sculpture that defines the design language of RED’s light-devouring beasts.» ~ Matthew Tremblay -- Chief Design Officer: RED Digital Cinema (2006-2024) source: LinkedIn profile's post

Arrived: https://www.insta360.com/product/insta360-x4#x4_compare

I think this was pretty predictable since Ace Pro had arrived (one of my favs along Osmo Pocket + One X2, yes, and now to replace it with this upgrade): https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/promotion/19087/exclusive-insta360-camera-unveiling.html832

Thanks but the compliments must be addressed to Kenjo McCurtain to begin with. "The man" behind this piece of work. I've just tried to serve of a little help : ) There's team work, of course. So, everyone also has a role to play there for sure. This is the outgrowth of a collective effort without doubt. To each their own, anyways :- )

Let them stand in their beach. The most unique cinematic is the less competition we have... LOL : ) BTW... MAKE-BELIEVERS will have national release in Japan... Ikebukuro Cinema Rosa on April 13th. https://www.cinemarosa.net/lateshow.htm 〒171-0021 Tokyo, Toshima City, Nishiikebukuro, 1 Chome−37−12 1F https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11530452/

Lurking these boards these cold days over here since I unfortunately had the loss of my life... one's of very own* mourning path, last month* : ( ...it's rewarding to see that our posts from more or less recent past don't go away so unnoticeable at least over here, after all: Just to give my regards @kye and to the rest of the gang :- ) *in Portuguese

Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, etc., who cares? They are all face of the same coin IMHO. Only rare ones remain for now to my book, for some reason I am a Blackmagic customer and happy camper TBH : ) To me, they are the flagship of this business today, for us indies of such particular industry as the segment of this craft is :- )

*passionate camera manufacturers (pardon my dyslexia : D) but passionate manufacturers, well, you can guess it will hardly be forgotten and found so soon again ;- )

Consumers? Prosumers? Or craftsmen/professional players? ; ) I usually tend to mistrust of corporate goodwill... Really : ) Jim and Jarred have been camera passionate manufacturers. Who else now?

WOW

haha blame these "fantastic" AI-like tools of today! I wanted to click to let it expressed a 'big thanks like' as not so rare about something coming from yours or @kye or@mercer among some other favs of mine and the damned button on my touchscreen went to some 'confused like' instead... and "they" even call it intelligent world we all live in nowadays where machines click on our behalf if we don't stand corrected them as next follow-up ; ) sorta policeman 24/24 : P Let the machines rule over our heads and we will see all where we'll end : X

When I see someone to ask why or if this or that camera is Netflix or BBC (for those old-timers hehe) approved... I wonder to myself if such individual knows what he or she is exactly doing along so complicated industry... LOL : ) To be professional is to know how to control this anxiety to begin with ;- ) Learn your craft before anything!

Wait! Not listed as one of the Netflix authorized (Approved... no less, insane!) cameras?? Really? No way! Who wants such crap of device? *cough cough* Who will buy to exhibit it anyway? LMAO hehe Sorry guys, couldn't resist! Marty is one of those who will fully understand me! Fortunately, not the only one! ;- )

No, Osmo Pocket series is plainly the best option for your intended use :- )

Indeed and shame on the assholes running their chairs there in the native company! I have nothing against to those who have bought it : ) I mean, forget the case of the ressurection of Rolleiflex... : D To not cry here! The killers are those who let it happen, true criminals... Unfortunately people have no memory and no clue how to run a business other than cleaning their arses :- ) At times, along an agreement we don't necessarily have the best we want but what is possible to deal full of trade-offs. It's a pity to see that name there. It hurts. People should be responsible for their own actions, not to see such brand value to be thrown into the gutter. A bummer, the brand equity too. Nice posts BTW.

In a line? «1921: The Olympus brand was introduced in February 1921. This logo was used for microscopes and other products. Brochures and newspaper ads for cameras also used this logo. The OLYMPUS TOKYO logo is still in use today.» From official source.

Exactly? : ) I don't see anything wrong on a transition period, just the fact the value of a brand like Olympus to vanish into thin air when this means an investment of decades if not a whole century... Brand registered in 1921. First camera with that exact name in 1936. It hurts only to hear that. And I'm speaking not only as camera lover but manager :- )

That said, I obviously agree with everything other written : ) I doubt though for any grace period over that or the lawyers working there follow the norm and are no less stupid too! LOL :- )

That's not killing : ) No one can kill what by itself is already killed ; ) In any case, who or what let it to be killed is still out of the tune, i.e., plain stupid, so the premise stands. To erect a brand is not a little thing. The problem is many of those who do it have no clue at all about it :- ) Many of players working in this industry and many others by the way are full stupid. The trouble I see here or in other places is that many geeks like us because they feel it that way tend deify their stupid decisions and justify them like they are not.
