How come? Well, cameras are one of the main points for marketing to each release... ;- )

That Osmo Pocket 3 is one of the most interesting devices I've ever owned, practically with me for everywhere and always ready for a ride like a crazy bitch! : ) Don't quote me, just a bot! ;- )

Firmware age. Designed like that or priorities of their own... I guess? : ) We always have distinct paths to arrive there, anyway ; ) Maybe a future update, who knows? Welcome to digital rage! : P In a different note, the recent turn to Nikonists here is really something! ; ) Sounds today, like yesterday. Any mechanical yearning or method is past now or at least discarded and... move on, let's accept that, I'm afraid, no matter the apparatus ; ) A few manufacturers are a bit more user-friendly or oldschool than others, though. My 1st serious photo camera (Sony was my 1st prosumer video thing, 35 years before my return back to the brand almost a quarter of century later my CineAlta F900 adventure) with more than 3 decades in my hands is still here with that pentaprism... a way earlier than the current smartphones/action cams/Osmo Pockets... street photography (yet, method of a workmate of mine in those years that we organised a photograph exhibition in one of the most fancy short film festivals of the indie circuit currently implemented and one of the best worldwide class photographers I've ever seen in my entire life, still alive and kicking nowadays, as you can check by your own in that link left here...) was then used to be shot like that with a F3 (still here in all its splendid piece of machinery): Ah that exposure compensation dial... No touch screen replaces it xD How I miss that! Unfortunately, what is not in my hands anymore is some other device 'cause had to sell it a year later when the next V6000 model came. Thought to update my V5000 and ended to get some other self-guided walk route with my brand new MX12 then, before going to film school for learning how to manage post and become an editor/director -- those were the times when we had no YT tutorials but analogue/analog (in both English variations for not misunderstandings : D ; ) tools and serious instructors for real: In a line, patience is the best tool of any craftsman :- ) PS: While for some reason I should have deleted the 1st part with a more comprehensive line/paragraph tone now... = D Rebuilt and back.

My fav personal capture device in March 2025 is my lightweight and really small FX30, guess also why? ; ) For the price of a Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 you buy three primes from 25mm up to 56mm, just 1 stop and a quarter slower, but for also for more than a quarter (4.5x less) of the weight! I've already posted here elsewhere (another combo from there has already made me to immediately pull the trigger on that Pancake to play anamorphic dreams... who doesn't love light glass?) but now I believe it deserves its own thread and (y)our attention... https://viltrox.com/collections/air-series-lens Here's some honest entry to my book, he even places a disclaimer in the beginning announcing he got it for free : ) which doesn't bother me at all, his time and work is not, I figure the model neither ; ) Ah and they say this time (rather than the previous f/1.4 series for the 35mm and 56mm so with the exception of the 13mm f/1.4 already on the way to my backpack/pocket... and NOT for free! ; ) their AF is effective and silent, quiet like a mouse...

LOL : ) BTW how do you overcome or deal the overheating? BTW part 2, show us your work, always pleasing... Still in memory your trip to Cuba... That said, life is not only our life, family and real life out there. Or cameras. And anything related. Reason to not be gone only because you've satisfied your need... : ) Thus, I will receive this week some buddy I met here on EOSHD a few time ago (last decade, maybe?), thanks to this forum : ) I don't speak Polish, he doesn't speak Portuguese, Italian, Spansh or French as far as I am aware, so guess mates, what set of words we will be using, well, since or for many years now (so far so good : ) as our secondary language? ; ) We don't have communication theory nor aesthetics as subjects! = D

Glad to know, at least you, not Brutus! LOL ; ) If that was the problem... as hinted up there : ) Language is not an exclusive of the use of idioms, neither a linguistic code is. Let's pay attention to the word "idiom" or "idioma" now used by you. Looks like the same word, meaning, etc., but doesn't have exactly the same meaning in English and some other structured system of vocabulary + grammar. Its usage and obviously, the meaning, both can vary. However, the same phrase: the absence of a moot point (it would be "a ausência de um ponto de discussão discutível" or something similar) if written in Portuguese, means the same to someone who is not sync with the subject, as it is clear (maybe not exactly crystal clear to the most part of you but fair enough to a few) to be the case here : ) No translator will help : )) And in UK vs US (or U.S. in the United States : D), the meaning changes, from one to the other country, same official language though. Just proves a lexicon can be a synonym of a myriad of different meanings what a language is or can be. Why "is"? Literal speech. Why "can be"? Figurative speech. (Making it simple now.) Moreover, language can be one's native or foreign language with a set of rules. Or a code typical phraseology used internally by some group within a professional, scientific, academic subject or domain. My bad to bring it outside. Also a bit of stubbornness from my side, trying to divert the discussion from there and to not simply throw it out. Without mention, I always tend to pay attention to feedback and to not ignore anyone. I tend to forget there are crafts and players in this same industry of a different kind and distinct backgrounds. My passion for pictures and art form overwhelms my rationality. Just sometimes... : P

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson

If so, he is right at least about something: overheating is not secondary. Makes no sense at this price range, to my book. No idea how much active cooling is able to be effective there, though.

Any chance to test the recent Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8 coupled with the respective E-mount adapter? Looks like a promising combo if AF works as people report...

I think this association between Nikon and RED is yet to stand corrected how much underrated still is so far ;- )

Tell us more if you have one, please :- )

Yes, in fact. 8K60p for slowmo anyway, it's not 120fps but does the trick. I find AcePro 8K an insane outcome bang for the buck. Yet speechless when stills come from video like shot elsewhere...

Coming on the way... that's insane: Part 2 https://altcinecam.com/product/viltrox-28mm-f4-5-52mm-filter-adapter-anamorphic/ https://altcinecam.com/product/viltrox-28mm-f4-5-52mm-filter-adapter-standard/

LOL The world inside has no limits and sometimes I forget that ; ) I have to refrain myself to start talking about things somehow related but proper of somewhere else. I prepare a PhD program, maybe... Not yet sure if I have time for, so I start to prep myself to the idea. Speaking of hard reality, people love to have a diploma rather than learning a craft. So, any graduation even at film school asks for official accreditation and no professional course of work is enough to have the instructors recognised by the State, EU regulations and the community in general. A pity. My readers have to pay the price : D

More than making sense... It's like the refrigerator POV shots... Hitchcock once called it the cow's perspective when Truffaut asked him why there were no establishing shots for the trains with his movies...

Apples to oranges. Primes are light. Zooms convenient. Suits better a wedding photographer set up. Or any event shooter. It will be at least till they upgrade their recording modes via update. I think you have to invite him to come here and read my stuff/posts or translate them to you... LOL ;- )

It surely is! : ) I hope so! That 30p on bhphotovideo specs page has been more hard to understand than my off topic dissertations...

I can't wait to know your findings on 8K60p... and that overheating plague. Some people hint it's all about the cards, so I hope you will find what works best :- )

Yes, that came to my mind : ) I've just been a bit disappointed with those recording modes when I love these small form factor devices but I hope they will upgrade it in a next firmware update... Best Friend is a great name for this camera! :- )

My love for signs (hate to repeat vocables as for instance, not AI! LOL : ) and enthusiasm for communication in general, surpasses (maybe! ; ) the cameras, I'm afraid : ) You're right. Far to be the place. That's more than the reason for that.

I wish it would help. Language issues or comprehending each other is much beyond the use of idioms. Unfortunately.

On the leftover, that guy mentioned the fact people must produce content without focusing on distribution. If you have something to show, the doors will become naturally open for you. And there's no reason to be afraid to end without work even in the advent of AI. Hence the portion off topic, albeit everywhere these days. Audiences dictate the business. Majorities can be dangerous (and we see it quite well in the current situation we're all live in today ; ) Who controls the distribution chain. I had just written "window" instead : D but I'm afraid I need to express myself with extreme caution in order to be perceived by the receiver : ) When we talk about communication (and content in this business is all about that), it's worthy to listen what people like Edward Hall, Paul Watzlawick, only to mention a couple of them, had the chance to bring to the world of the communication theory. Why? Because that will have impact on the result of our efforts. Our work and career cannot depend on their findings, but the range of our path will or not come along. The more we research and learn, the more we see that to effectively push the quality of our product. No need for a magic translator = D to let us guess the rest of the story when we have the market in our hands ; ) and not vice versa : ) It's the goal or sweet spot, not the audiences/clientele to dictate our art form. It's a complex balance for sure. Requires attitude, knowledge, much beyond a technical one. And technology has a minimal place in this equation. (I hope the use of these words such as "equation", etc., may rise from a trivial post but not to max out exclusive, c'mon! : ) In conclusion, tools are useful but why to be so worried with? No camera release will save our ass. That's what that YT guy said. It's much more all about the experience we have as professionals. I live from this business and not in my native country where I've only stayed for family reasons more recently in the last few years, but the course of my work stands out there in a daily basis where I've worked and lived in many countries (always using daily English practically with everyone and for everything work-related nowadays when not in my personal life in the past even 24/7 BTW ; ) in Europe... Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Denmark, all over ex-YU, Russia (Moscow), Ukraine (Kyiv), Baltic countries, Malta, UK (London/Belfast) and without mention all of them, yet U.S. where I am currently based in NJ (with a foot in NY) and Florida, and even countries in Asia like Japan or China, NZ in the antipodes of my homeland just to refer this territory in particular where with a business partner of mine, I am co-producer of two feature films, distributed worldwide, which have crossed many borders, go figure...

No, mates, sorry to disappoint you haha but I never use any of those. The key is on bold in my last post, two words sum up the whole thing... I know my written expression is not always plain and simple but c'mon, it's not so much cryptic! : D No, it's anything but not necessarily about English itself. Communication is not a democratic matter, unfortunately. I can assure you I surely express myself in English I use as my 2nd language for all my life. Others follow but if I am able to communicate/live during decades in Italian, Spanish or even French as 3rd, 4th and 5th tools, if I've spent many days, weeks, months, years -- last time, three years in a row, with my native language once a week on the phone, how the hell English would not serve? : P) Or at least since I've started to communicate with people who don't speak another language. And trust me, everyone is able to understand me very well both spoken and written English as natural preferred foreign language : ) It's nothing about that. The way I use the words or the 'substance' behind, I guess. I remember when I attended for first time the law school before film school... We had some program (introduction to law) and we were used to enter there, attend the classes for a full hour without understanding a single word of the words pronounced by the lecturer. It's all about the subject. And believe me, I don't do for purpose, go figure, because that's the pure truth : ) I just write the same I've always been used since ever, whether as student or lecturer. Of course, the same kind of language used when I was used to reach 19 out of 20 in my classes of aesthetics, for example, are prone to not match the receiver everywhere especially where we are all here used to talk about camera technology instead. The point is that the fields intersect themselves and when I see some kind of my reflection from my own, I tend to comment. Using the same level of language of ever. But if you'll listen the guy coming from that YT video up there, part of the stuff is implicit from his interesting approach about his career and this industry. So, I guess you won't lose much of the content of my posts here. Also because if you don't follow this or that, it's also because this hasn't been brought to your attention, so quite probably you won't need to follow it in any way whatsoever. In any case, I appreciate your care to interact and straightforward communication. Thanks for your feedback! :- )

Nice to know : ) EF to E-mount is actually a PITA... Thanks for the heads-up! Only manual here for now. What adapter exactly? Sigma, I guess? Not Viltrox?
