    This white versus black whatever color talk is completely nonsense and primitive.

    In the UK the other day there was a news piece on this guy... Karl Popper
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
    It's interesting because it shows the paradox of today's liberal society...
    The US society is tolerant enough to allow the display of nazi flags outside houses under free speech laws and right wing protests in the streets under expensive police escorts, and it's tolerant enough to allow these people to arm themselves with several automatic weapons at once.
    The more tolerant we become, the more the door opens to the intolerant ones, the more freedom they have to wreak havoc and destroy tolerance. So Karl Popper argued (in 1945 no less) that for a society to be truly tolerant it has to be "intolerant of intolerance".
    I suppose in the case Ed raised of alleged discrimination by a photo company, we shouldn't tolerate it, he's right on that. But I am also against building a wall between us and every single person in the company because of the wrongdoings of a few of their management, and I still really don't know if Ed is talking about a shop or a manufacturer.
    I suppose the point of Ed's post was to get us all talking and I'm fine with a bit of politics every now and again.
    I just don't agree that race has much to do with talking about cameras. It's a privilege but not just a white one.

    Ninety nine percent of these "you can make xyz camera look cinematic" threads are filled with slow motion clips. There is nothing special about making slowmo look cinematic... slowmo is almost always cinematic. The trick is in making normal speed with dialog cinematic. And that requires cinematic techniques... which is of course the point.
    Cheap and effective way is framing with whatever lens.

    Simple but effective with very cheap glass (kit 14-42mm and 20mm f1.7 pancake lenses), go figure... Sunny face BTW ;-)

    It's not political.
    You can be white, upper middle class and be creative without guilt.
    Political? It is what you make it. Sometimes political is good.
    From the outside, what is happening in the US at the moment is shocking. Tribal.
    What is the photo company? Names!

    Emanuel reacted to Don Kotlos in Follow up to B&H - Workers Unionize   
    Just an update on this issue:
    "Under the terms of the decree, the Manhattan photo, video, audio, and digital imaging retailer has agreed to pay $3,220,000 in back wages and other monetary relief to more than 1,300 affected class members. B&H also agreed to hire a workplace consultant to help correct its employment practices and workplace conduct at its Brooklyn Navy Yard warehouse, as well as its future warehouse in Florence, New Jersey. The company also agreed to provide its managers with annual training on equal opportunity principles and prevention of workplace harassment."

    It's almost as if they created that category especially for Panasonic.
    They got it wrong in many categories.
    Huawei P10 is soundly beaten by the camera on the Google Pixel XL and Samsung S8.
    I am not sure the A6500 qualifies as best prosumer mirrorless with so much competition out there like the X-T2, and I guess A7R II is too old to be voted for again
    Interesting the Nikon D7500 won a category. I thought everyone hated it! Why not D500?

    Whew... as I scrolled down and didn't see the GH5 under best mirrorless category, I was awaiting the shitstorm that was gonna follow... but then I saw the best hybrid category. Of course the NX1 isn't on there, so it's still not safe.

    I just watched it. Yeah that looks great. Nice highlights. I love the early shot of the sun's reflection in the puddle. 
    That guy is really talented. He shot one of my favorite a7s videos as well. But I still think that Martin Wallgren may have some of the best GH5 footage. But his footage always looks great... no matter the camera...
    And I really like ntblowz screengrab from his Last Airbender film.

    Well, since the EVA1 isn't getting the 400mbps at release, I fear the GH5 may not get it for awhile. 
    But we'll see. I am really looking forward to that update. The footage should look insanely good.

    Emanuel reacted to DBounce in GH5 owners - 6 months later, how are you liking it?   
    IMO, for video the GH5 is the best hybrid to date. The jury is out for stills. I think Panasonic needs to add more glass like the 42.mm Nocticron. Great build quality, fast and accurate. It can produce awesome images easily. Perhaps they need to buyout Leica?
