Sorry if this has been posted already.

I love Peter Greggs channel and it was pretty interesting (even though expected) so I thought I would share it. Its good to know that a couple of clouds was enough to save the Sonys. Finding shelter won't be doable for what I do in the summer but for some it of course is. I wonder if an umbrella would be enough.

There is one huge difference between Sony and Panasonic, lenses. That Sigma is going to release their lenses is not enough. They need to have already done it before people will even start to care. There is a used S1 + kitzoom that's been sitting a few weeks on a shelf in a camera store in Stockholm at a very reasonable price. Every time I see it I go, "hmm maybe I should buy it". But then I remember it will mostly sit on my shelf, waiting for lenses. If you find out that they do, please let me know so I can get some free cameras

Ah, Ok then I have already responded. Yup.

Just because you don't understand my point doesn't mean that others live in a dream world. Sony has lost so much money on their camera business over the last year's that it's gonna take a long time to recover. You are talking about Sony as a whole and yes they make a lot of money. So do Panasonic. But it's not from cameras. Same with Fuji whos reports show its basically Instax film making the money in the photo segment, not the XT3. But we have been down this boring road before where we argue about the same thing. A few talk about camera sales and others about cameras + water heaters. The numbers don't add up and instead of communication it's attacks and baiting. Then someone calls me an idiot and you explain that you are old and therefore right by default So I will end it there. All I say is read the financial reports and be critical. They to are written for marketing reasons. Don't just eat the propaganda. Ask why cameras are lumped with TVs in one company but separated at others? Ask why Sony lumps it with video cameras etc? Ask why some put them under "other"? And ask if you think they would show huge profits from a segment if they could, would share holders care?

Not near the magnitude of Sony who does it on a monthly basis. New release or not, they are getting on that plain.

Imagine the crisis at the competitors that barley was profitable before (except Leica of course, who always done very well).

Not exactly sure what you are trying to say, could you try to rephrase it? I don't see it in Prores nor Braw. All is well in both the units I had. I didn't ETTR on the BMPCC4K to get more punch and contrast and to combat the Sony-like colors

Don't flush money down the toilet because of a couple of turds. Always buy used. Used A7 in store with six months warranty surfaces for sub $300 here at least once a month.

New sensor. Kind of a big deal with stills cameras

There was a Hydrogen going for very cheap on a classified a few months back. Kinda wish I would have bought it

Pentax have more options, more function and more buttons, but their menus is way more intuitive. My smartphone has way more options, +100,000 apps and accesses millions of web pages. None of them are that unintuitive. I have no problem using the Sony menus, I of course know them after years of use. But the original design, from an objective perspective, compared to other cameras and devices, is absolutely awful. In a world where UI and user experience is a key element when designing products the Sony menu is a joke. @Robert Collins makes a good point about how reviewers is a good measure of how bad the menus are. If people that try out all kinds of different cameras with no issues and ease, still have to point out Sony as a weird example.. then it probably is. Sony makes lovely cameras. But like all brands there are some downsides as well.

I wonder why it's no issue for you but others claim it is. Maybe it's the cable, what HDMI cable do you use?

I always ETTR on the BMCC/BMPCC but not on the new BMPCC4K. I used the native ISOs and tried to get as close to the final exposure as I could in camera. With the new color science it's been a winning concept for me. I still have never been able to create any type of "blue sky macro blocking", and I've owned two separate units.

It shoots 4:2:2 but won't blow you away. There are some ok looking samples online. But if you mainly want to shoot video.. maybe not a good idea imo. For stills, Leica all day, every day

Might depend on the size of battery? This I don't want to have to do to be honest. I could probably live with it. But the point for the C-fast over the ssd for me is easy access and quick turn around. This is very good to know. First straight answer Ive gotten and I have asked a lot of reviewers. Thanks I know. But it so far doesn't have it in all frame rates, which are the main attraction over the BMPCC4K for my usage. But since I recently sold my second BMPCC4K last week its main competition is now a Fuji for 120p. And then it might win

Its interesting to me that when the Youtube hype train was in full motion for the A7iii and GH5 everybody was on board, but not this time. My only guess its because this camera is not meant for the audience of this forum. And I seem to recall about 10,001 posts on this forum screaming for a mic jack in these types of cameras. But jut like always, when we get it we immediately move the goal post. Ive started shooting Polaroid again. Its liberating

Seems great. Personally Im in the process of finding a decent deal on a used RX100v-a. This announcement might make that easier to find.

Luckily there are many business men and women in your age that does not roll over and give up. Instead they see the potential for something different, which unlike what many believe, isn't the same as worse. Will be fun to follow which camera companies that gets it and doesn't die. Trying to make the this century a copy paste of the last is a first class ticket to marginalization.

Seems like a really cool camera and I've come close to buying it sometimes. Whats holding me back are weird design choices like for example the HDMI making a battery swap almost impossible without disconnecting the screen. And that the C-Fast door is difficult to reach in a cage or with a handle. But most of all I just hate h.265, with a passion. The image seems nice, just wished there where more clips floating around so one could evaluate it better in an NLE. Also the crop factors in different codecs/speeds are still a bit of a mystery. Even when asking straight up to the reviewers online they give floaty answers, I don't thing they know for sure themselves.

Usually when people argue about camera sale statistics from Japan they show lists that is excluding crop sensor cameras and DSLRs (in order to make the Z6, EOS-R, A7iii look better, because DSLRs still outsell them all). And when one looks at a list that at least shows all the mirrorless cameras, crop sensors included, It is an EOS-M model at the top. Pretty interesting imo. Goes to show that our "old" views doesn't apply to the generation that will run the world in 10-15 years. My tip from a business stand point is to stop brushing "millennial", "vloggers" and "kids" under the rug. Because it will be your doom. Adapt or disappear. (This is June only so it doesn't represent the whole truth. Should go without saying but Ive learned to stop overestimating the internet )

Not surprising, its very much up to personal preference and what one is looking for in an image. For me and how I like it slog2 and 3 has less usable DR than C-log.

Its always tricky since we look for different things and manufactures put different numbers on different DRs. For me Ive decided that 13 stops from Blackmagic is my base since it rings true next to the 12 stops from Canon. The two companies seems to be in sync with each other. That means that I according to my own tests put Sony S-Log in for example the A7sii at 11 stops and Panasonic Cine-D at 10. But if one decides for one self that Sonys 15 stops or what ever they claim is true, the scale will be different.

It's 12 stops in log. Side by side with a 13 stop Blackmagic it can handle it self pretty well.

This is the last sentence I will ever read from you. Life is too short. Lol, you even try to convince people that I've only tried AF on a Lumix camera, when it's pretty obvious I use Canon DPAF, instead of just accepting that some prefer MF. Im putting you on the ignore list now
