Not much - in fact I've playing with camera so much less, and I've bought a DJI Pocket 3 (that is more than enough for 80% of the moving shots in my case) that I will probably sell it. I have the first version. Before only had the orignal Crane M (never got along with it) and a Feiyu A1000 (good, had an amazing feature that was axed in the folowwing Feiyu gimbals, you move the camera by and to point A and point B, and when pressing the trigger the gimbal repeats the movement in a programmable duration). Stab is good, but sometimes I think that it have a "center" problem - moving to a direction, come back to the original position, never got the gimbal pointed exactly in the same stop; but since I have this issue in ALL gimbals, probably is an operation error. I love the form factor with two handles, better grip in normal positions and is a breeze to get low angle shots. WOuld never come back to a single handle one. Never used the follow focus, but it could probably the factor that make me keep it - just to use older lenses. The second version have a AI tracker, which could be useful (not for me).

Take a look at the Scorp Minis, I have the first version. Feiyutech have a neat wireless follow focus that could be used with it.

Mine is a Fujifilm S5Pro. Got one some years ago (already kinda hyped) for around US$60 - VERY battered, shutter with 160k, but...working perfectly. When the light is good, the colors are unmatched. Skintones miles better than the current Fujis. That SuperCCD SR Pro really deserves the hype.

Thom Hogan said something about camera shortages that makes a lot of sense - it is a sensor supply problem. The sensor manufacturers (Sony and the rest) are sweating to supply the demand - not so much for camera sensors, but for smartphone ones. Cameras sensor are made in somewhat older node processes, and, contrary to commen belief, these legacy nodes (aka transistor size) have much more demand than the cutting edge ones, and is hard to order new processing machines. Hence, when you plan to launch a camera with some sensor, you estimate how many you will want, based in projections, and order X sensor in a batch. You get these sensors in time, but if you want ANOTHER batch, you will go to the back of the queue. Since until recently the camera seles were down, and these orden are made WAY in advance, I guess that almost everyone order a smaller batch than needed.

Manny just released a video saying that he made a mistake about the noise is stiils. According to him, he made the comparison opening all the files in Lightroom - he found surprising that Adobe have compatibility on day one with the new camera. But Panasonic told them after that Adobe jumped the gun and the drivers were not optimized yet - and that he should compare in Capture One, because in C1 they worked together and the drivers were right. After he opened the files from Panasonic in C1, the noise problem was gone, and the files from the three cameras, bar from color differences, were "indistinguishable". In fact, what cought his attention is that the files from all the cameras were much better (color, details, rendering) in C1 than in Lightroom...

I think the opposite. Panasonic was a very known brand in the VHS times - their camcorders were some of the best, their VHS recorders sold millions of units. Could not be recognized as a stills camera company, but as a video brand, was on pair with Sony (at least here in South America). Lumix appeared with their point & shoot cameras. Is like Sony changing their logo in front of the cameras to "Cybershot" instead of Sony. Every non-camera person that ever saw me with a Lumix always ask "what brand is this, never heard", I say "It's made by Panasonic" and immediately people make a face of "oh, THIS i know".

Better a secondhand X-S20, then. Much faster sensor (the no crop 4k in the X-T5 is not oversampled, and the "4k HQ" oversampled mode have a 1.23 crop), no crop 6k open gate, "better" AF (the Fuji AF problems are more evident in the 40mp bodies)

Eu entendo você em qualquer um dos idiomas, @Emanuel 😁 (just a joke to my fellow "languager" here) 😉

Just imagining pairing it with a silver version of this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1856221-REG/viltrox_af2845e_af_28_f_4_5_fe.html (and since Viltrox is trying to go into the L Mount alliance...)

https://petapixel.com/2025/03/02/xiaomi-wants-to-make-modular-magnetic-lenses-for-its-phones/ There is a curious thing: it is a 4/3 sensor with 100mp - but binned in 4x4 pixel, which results in 25mp images. Same resolution of the sensor that (only) Panasonic is using. Is it the same sensor?

Will not even mention the bald guy that made a rocket looking like a giant dildo...

Christopher Frost spent some days with one and shows a somewhat detailed navigation through the interface.

But nowadays you have to feed the "pure photography" zealots - in fact since the days of the Nikon Df. If OM had put a bigger grip, would be a wave of hate saying that they ruined a beautiful heritage of how a camera should look. These guys would put a photo of the camera with a Zuiko 50mm f/1.4 Chromenose adapted to it to show how they are invested by the gods of photography. And then put an external grip when they really go out to shoot. It is like that idiotic LCD in the X-Pro 3, all praises on how it make they "to focus on the composition, instead of chimping" (like if this was the problem, you could just turn off the LCD or chang it to show just the camera setting in EVERY camera). And BY COINCIDENCE was a camera that had an insane hate of flat LCD cables problems - maybe I guess because in real world the zealots are...opening the fking LCD all the time to chimp ? Photo world nowadays have a problem of small dick syndrome that put Elon Musk to shame.

Indeed - the most cameras that I had in life were Panasonics and for me is by far the most intuitive, as the ergos.

The Lumix have some special modes for DR, maybe it needs some time to figure it out - even Manny will use it more before a final result.
