With smartphones I think we are just going down the hill... Never people shot so bad without any clue what aesthetics is about, as happens nowadays. It's just going to social media and take a look on selfies today... The perspective of the cow as Hitchcock called it. Shooters need to know about art history and photography technique to begin with, not automatic BS and odd menus with all those effects aka "filters", LUTs, whatever and fancy AI crap just meaningless. - EAG :- )

And? What are you expecting to hear here? SocialBlade is too little? Wanna another one? YouTubers.me? Or do you expect anyone will tell you any secret along these pages? Another idea, you wrote? This week this Wednesday, Fed will cut the interest rate. Invest part of your budget on JPY or gold reaching its most recent peak nowadays. Who knows you are not able to complete it with your gains? ; ) It worked out for me in 2008 with the JPY during the Lehman Brothers episode period -- they ceased operations 16 years ago, celebrated yesterday September 15 BTW... ; ) Sell shares of your project over future profits. Open a training program with grants for trainees or get your talent in the same way for aspiring actresses/actors. They can even pay for your time instead! : D But you risk someone may find it rather useful like a colleague of mine at film school who took it from a casual conversation of ours : X And then come here to let us know how much the help served, if any... : P LOL how old are you BTW? :- )

LOL Shoot it with a P4K and invest the leftover with affordable gear and the best budget glass you can buy, locations you can get, promising talent, a competent crew of your own and at your side and last but not least, solid marketing. This is what this brand means to this camera industry and crafts somehow related to, not necessarily committed with and uniquely for the sake of a business. EAG :- )

I don't follow any channel and trust me, Toneh is not coming from those who follow those insights ; ) However, he is not the only one who sees it as mere marketing. iPhone goes on its 16th version and I never bought one. Waiting for overheating reports once more. I have purchased ASUS and OnePlus instead and mobile phone camera system hasn't bought me for sure. Buy the Osmo or/and Ace Pro and you won't look back : P A dedicated camera is not a Swiss army knife. EAG :- )

Blackmagic has been that brand. Please stand where you are. - EAG :- )

I got your point. I just simply hate mainstream and see where this leads us today in China, Russia and United States. Is that the world we had dreamt in the last years of the previous century before 9/11? We need a different approach and less media (social media included, obviously ; ) to rule our heads. Instead? Many more Orwell's readers. - EAG :- )

Speaking of devil and that 5x miserable tele? In the meantime, Toneh has offered his vision and criticism:

Really? In the meantime, I have produced a few film features with worldwide distribution shot with many of their cameras instead... You know why orange man is back again? Exactly because of that mindset: people tend to see the world straight from their backyard... Blackmagic Design is today what RED tried to become two decades ago. - EAG

haha right ; ) good maths : ) Crops are reasonable taken from 12K resolution native files. We have made tests comparing with other 4K and 6K BMD acquisition tools in-house and there's definitely an add-on to extract from there :- ) Not their stuff made in there natively to suppose with Stuart's claim? "According to Stuart, the sensor was engineered in-house by Blackmagic Design and its development required a considerable amount of time, especially because the company doesn’t want to comprise on dynamic range (claimed DR: 16 stops)." source

But I have one (12K) I bought in Singapore for less than €3000... I don't cry for every single penny left there. Amazing capture machine... : ) Multiple applications, it's currently used for film transfer (8mm/16mm mainly).

Expect full time immersion, no weekends no holidays and yes, you can be a content producer. You said YouTube? Hundreds, thousands, millions of examples... so good luck! ; ) Here's a good source to begin with your market case study: https://socialblade.com/ You said micro budget features? Crowdfunding is your partner. EAG :- )

@SRV1981 That's the point: there's no other like a dedicated camera! 'Smartphone engineers' and respective applied technology inherent have no much to praise strictly from taking pleasure to produce pictures with their contribution or the common man realm as target. They look like all the part of the elephant in a china store... ;- )

In fact : ) @SRV1981 has a notorious bias in favor of 'iphonegraphy'... LOL ; ) I have nothing against anything but a camera designed to only be a camera is like a woman who has born a native woman (same example serves for a man or a different species) versus any other version else ;- ) What about overheating BTW, comparing both versions of same... *cough cough* : D nature? Disclaimer: That said, overheating is something to drive me off similar 'projects' of capture devices! :- )

WOW That's a hell of a sale! : ) And IMHO with some relevant extra add-on priceless value, because comes from some camera user and worldwide camera industry personality/player like you, @Andrew Reid!

Indeed. The only minus I see on one of my fav devices today is the lack of tele range...

(but... ; ) so far so good?! LOL

Yes, overheating is exactly my concern, even though with the SSD attached no idea if the issue stands the same way?

In fact that ProRes detail is something... ; ) This year I had to enter in a summer music festival as mere public audience participant instead for last minute ticket/invitation other than media accreditation as usual and guess what? We had to struggle against the security staff to allow us enter with our camera lenses and hide teles in the middle of wide angle and 50mm primes... Osmo Pocket 3 is a hell of a device to literally come with us any time in our pocket, but I obviously missed that: The fact we can use something like this for a teleobjective is also huge once forbidden to use them.

Is this now I will buy one?

Is the best 360º offer on budget as of today? Ready for testing one :- )

Yes, looks like nothing has changed at least as far as the competition concerns... GoPro Hero 13 Low Light vs Insta360 Ace Pro, Hero 12, DJI Action 4 - YouTube

Don't be selfish for Christ's sake! Two. LOL ;- )

Crazy age we live all in.
