  1. ​ Come on Ed, you know you're just spreading your new avatar and weren't banned on dvxuser, but only reduser AFAIK. It is not true they love to ban, on the contrary, they feel like to do it when people act there exactly just not trying to not embarass them ; ) As same as when you've played your clown part with that good joke on your video allegedly shot on an unreleased Weapon. Right, they take their business for serious. I couldn't reply you there once the thread is closed, I'm doing it right here. No good humor can save the grace if you're hurting their business. But, hey would anyone allow to break the bank account resources on the payroll bill when there are lots of people to whom to pay salaries in the end of each month? Or the solidarity blah blah only matches when stuff and staff are on our own or outside of this greedy camera industry in any rainbow-good-looking politically correct campaign, as for instance? This is the thin red line to separate the artist from a real professional with bills to pay. The fact is, trust me, they didn't ban you because you've greatly peed both President and CEO of the company in their backyard. They're used to on dvxuser, to begin with... ( BTW I've never seen a single ban there for such sin; as much as I am used to defend anyone when I see people are not there to defend themselves such as happened when eoshd has become notorius for a simple flaw of the humankind -- envy from whom didn't praise Andrew to see him to succeed </OT> ) ...and they could have a fair good reason to have hard feelings, after all, they are human beings as same as me or you. One thing you wrote rather well, but I believe you were too short on your acknowledgement. People should have more gratitude on their contribution for the democratization of technology at sane prices in the hand of many. I still remember when artists had no other choice unless to ask for loans if we'd want to keep dreaming with a pro/broadcast standards going on our work. And as you said, you ended to be able to buy three examples of such. Their competitor's souvenir or not, few years earlier, not even one you'd buy with the same amount of money. Maybe some sorta proprietary branded accessory without which you couldn't finish your product? PS: That said, last but not least, I've pre-ordered the upcoming a7RII and I am enthusiastic to buy new stuff for: A Whole Hearted Thanks to JIm! - E :-)
  2. ​ I've been on dvxuser since a decade for now. I've never stopped to publicly write whatever I wanted. And open to facing anyone when and if necessary. It doesn't matter if mods or even the founder (with whom I could found a healthy friendship, BTW) if and when necessary. Using a friendly tone? For sure, for same reason I came to defend Andrew more than once when people were used to attack him there. Not so far from now. Curious never to have seen no one else from outside doing the same. Anyways...
  3. ​A hybrid camera? Large prints? Fast and accurate AF? FF/35mm look? What more? What about more (and clean) detail? ;-)
  4. Very well, where are they? Now you've mentioned, just waitin' for... E. :-)
  5. Well, these threads around this case have become in a comedy, actually. A tragicomedy, to be more precise. No one knows what exactly happened there between them, except the characters who lived THEIR lives ; ) Even them, to each his/her own perspective on facts. Remember Citizen Kane or Rashomon. Once public, is there room for judgement outside? Sure, as same as for misjudgement too ;-) Facts are made of a different kind.
  6. ​Exactly because we can't dismiss some stuff, in the same range of thinking and certain procedure codes. The point is our actions/reactions speak by ourselves. Our silence as absence of something is informally or even formally to the eyes of opinion public, a substantial deed, as well. To add the fact that to be a public personality has his cost, v.g. Jim Jannard and his record of lawsuits (Arri, Sony and so on, even yet from Oakley period for sure :D). Those Industry matters opposed to this, because they're actually and only private affairs is perfectly irrelevant and even inaccurate. Kessler statement is there to prove it. Relevant is the fact their accusation is somehow a bomb in Philip's reputation. Once public, public became. On that, Ed has nailed the course.
  7. Last but not least, other than you Ed, I believe (my opinion) the reasons behind the women are not so strong, or the only facts strictly from one side of the events. Or the alleged victims would have material to also go straight to the Courts, if it was easy to identify some side as guilty. The fact is that they are going to where is easy to produce loss to Philip. Without the trouble to face him and the full story before of a judge. On the other hand, for same order of thinking, because it is a serious attack to the honour of an individual, if Philip is innocent of all these nasty accusations, I'd never hesitate to end in the last consequences against whoever had the chance to think twice and be decent, before going public. His/her/their own grief aside, from a private story. With the usual ups and downs and personal memories, once a (love) relationship. Pity Accusations are a very serious matter and require burden of proof at any time from who claims the issue. No US Constitution First Amendment, if in US soil, could ever justify those grievous allegations towards someone's reputation. Our acquaintance or fellow geek/reviewer/photographer/internet personality/filmmaker or not. Decency has no price. Dignity is boundless. This applies in cases of domestic violence. Defamation, as well. Let alone the damages in the career of a renown professional. How many? How much? To distort facts in order to achieve a goal --, if any in this case, it is whatever you want, but far to be innocent. From what I read, his name was a very clear target. I guess, it says a bit (?) on the source, amongst other. Life is not that simple. Neither truth*. *(s)
  8. ​ There you can properly say, there's no "all of us", but "each one of us", multiple sides, even though, when apparently only two.
  9. Well, opinions are like the famous Dirty Harry's quote... And definitely away to be science or fact, especially when we are out (go figure if we'd rather type < off > instead :-)
  10. ​True. Interests too. But, not a conflict between a couple. Or a conflict between a couple in the proper place outside the private walls when necessary: the Courts. Only public piazza can mean it. Or subplots inside the main plot of a couple relationship. And where there is more than two, it doesn't fit the number two inside anymore. As same, "the number two" stops to make sense when more angles outside the facts are added and that's not their business to even be inside them.
  11. As I could write before in the first page of the other thread, any story has always two sides, hence two versions. So, how can anyone forget it? An opinion, any judgement requires solid information to the least detail as far as possible. Not only based on a party of the equation. That's why Courts can be not enough sometimes but they're still the best forum for. Granted their procedures in the sense to protect consensual values and the best method way to reach the goal of equity, an immeasurable truth. To listen everyone in such serious case, able to kill the reputation of a professional with a life and career made, is fully mandatory. It is a relief to all Philip's internet followers to have the chance to see him to start to react to this sad story... with facts thrown to the table. Even though painly from his private life, I believe. Worthy to be protected side by side to any other 'personality right/asset' such as those claimed by a victim of domestic abuse. Therefore his silence as his first reaction, I guess. Justice is not property of only one side. And should never be hostage of the virtual world, because there's a real world out there where fairness can trade places from a distorted narrative to serve an agenda, if so.
  12. ​ I see... a matter of terminology though, once the link is not down: http://www.eoshd.com/uploads/gh2/hack/patchvault/setf.ini.zip But, a 50KB corrupted file, actually. When just checked now.
  13. And here, it seems still up... http://www.eoshd.com/gh2-patch-vault/ is this one just such a newer version? http://www.eoshd.com/uploads/gh2/hack/patchvault/setf.ini.zip

    - RIP http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-30582761 Coincidentally, with no key on his illness, I had been watching the video of this concert earlier today: Truly sad... : (

  17. I guess life online is only part of the real XXI deal. There's no exactly B&W or there shoudn't be. I see Andrew's work as fair serious enough, though. Or you woudn't see people like me or Noah Yuan-Vogel, as for instance, posting in the same page. There's absolute zero of cruzade over here. Just a complementary attempt to give meaning to certain discussions people entertain themselves to have in such boards ;-)
  18. hahaha True. But I think people will easily conclude by themselves to read between the lines. And a number is only a number. Like Fahrenheit or Celsius to be read from different angles and in opposite readers/sides of Atlantic. There are no magical numbers, that's part of my try to elaborate here. A GH4 can equal a Dragon (under control of certain variables), except on price :D A comparative approach based on comparative terms is what can bring some light from there.
  19. You've 51% nailed it : ) On the leftover, I confess I can respond to your point much focused in a filmmaking forum I believe Andrew is intending to, as the filmmaker I see on his eye. And if I've always defended this corner as one of most valuable for indie filmmaking on web nowadays, it is exactly because of that. Where symbiosis between technical and aesthetical sides of the game are closer than separate realms. I salute your vibe to put the things on perspective, anyway. Cinema is made of that ;-)
  20. No one here intends to be arrogant, I believe. And I am giving the benefit of doubt for both on the spot. Perspective, you see? That's my purpose with my entries, to put everything in perspective. If not, all this might sound rather useless if not taken in perspective and altogether. Technical aspects can be passionate, for sure. If not, why would we be here discussing it? I just think my own POV and experience out there can be useful to others who come here to read this. That said, the activity is not so diversified as it seems from the complexity itself which defines this business. I also appreciate these tests and no one is putting such in doubt. On the contrary. Again, trying to give accurate perspective in order to make them more useful, if well contextualized. E :-)
  21. I surely read it. Reason why someone needs to introduce some common sense and real scope over such geek questions. If you are in these forums for a decade, you should have crossed yourself with my posts for sure. And also prevailing the technical aspects of business when needed, aside others (other aspects count: they must be seen altogether; that's an usual mistake). Take a look in one of my links at my signature or both. A few of you were probably in the high school, I was feeding myself from high end technology inside this industry. Trying to convince people to shoot 1080p 3:1:1 rather than 35mm film. This doesn't mean we have to lose the sense of proportion of technical aspects. That's the whole point. When we lose it, we lose any basis for our wondering. A discussion about cameras serves if balanced. If not, if we distort the blanket only for one side of the bed, we will lose the whole purpose for. E :-)
  22. PS: I can give an example. My favorite camera is GH series, but before I was using my 5D2, out of order later on when I replaced it for a GH1. Before I had read 4/3" format was not the best for still photography... because of this misconception exactly about what photography is. No more no less in any way other as the exact acquisition device from several variables which conduct to a possible outcome. Try to go with a RED ONE to the middle of the crowd and you'll see the street photography you'll get ;) Who doesn't understand this, it can only be a good theoric sit behind the desk :)
  23. oh God, a camera is NOT only sensor or test rates! At times, I wonder if this geek idea of a capture device has anything to be with real photography... (E :-)
