The season was so bad that the final episode was hilarious. It even included a couple of plastic bottles. Almost everything is illogical in this final episode. Nothing really mattered and all just happened so we have our best friends around the table. The good thing is that it ended. The spin off will be thousands of years ago, First Men, children of the forest and the such. It will take some time though. There are plenty of articles about it. Until them: you are very welcome to laugh with the next Westworld!

What all of these have in common? IBIS? Could have been compatibility with new lenses, or slightly olders, or some kind of improvement. Or the Chinese had access to your rolling shutter.

This is one of my favorite rules! I watched recently "An Elephant sitting still". The director Hu Bo commited suicide before the end of the editing. The There are huge issues in Chinese society, but in U.S also. I dare to say that I like the EU's position in the world right now, I am not sure if it is viable, but it is the most reasonable. If I had to choose sides, I would go with the Western World 100%, but living in Greece, the meeting point of East vs West since the Bronze Age, and probably earlier, I know that you can not stop the flow. I have to admit though that there is a certain eastern-o-phobia in America (always was) and this is very apparent in the last episode of GoT. The Easterners are savages and dangerous, and they have to go back in their territories!

The only good thing about the global economy, until recently, is that is so interconnected and twisted than noone dared to really challenged anyone. Ferengi Rule of Acquisition #35 Peace is good for business. Now Trump is...seriously, I am not sure what is he trying to do. U.S.A certainly will loose big time on a financial war. Europe is really well established and are consuming far less than Americans, while they are #1 in renewable energy and recycling, so they can manage to produce and not waste as much, while China and India -they already do -can rise their middle class and consume independantly of the western world. Those 2 are very well connected with Africa, which is the next big thing. (Oh, there is also this by the way, https://www.google.com/amp/s/qz.com/africa/1192493/china-spied-on-african-union-headquarters-for-five-years/amp/ ) China is so big right now, and it is getting bigger, especially now that they do not have the 1 kid policy anymore, that they sneeze and we are catching cold.. Here we are not worrying much about Huawei, everyone spies on everyone anyway, but our SOUVLAKI and GYROS is in danger because of the Chinese, and that is a major crisis! https://www.keeptalkinggreece.com/2019/04/20/souvlaki-price-increase-protest-rally/ Oh! And Ferengi Rule of Acquisition #34 War is good for business, also..

So so true..better than longer, and better than "wider"(=Pocket 4K). I found the XC10/15 form factor very promising for a small video camera, but that went nowhere also.. I am still delaying my P4K purchase, but as the Z cameras are not readily available in Europe, and the bigger sensored ones are not available at all, and nothing under 4.000 comes from Canon/Sony/Panasonic, I have to bite the bullet and order the Pocket sooner or later..

Prores RAW on most Sony cameras of the past 5 years??!! That would be something.. I wouldn't give more than 1/1000 for the a6500 or A7ii to get such feature, and that is because only fools believe in 0 chances! If I was a fool I would say that it is in no way possible. Maybe @IronFilm. Is into something..

I already bought the Insta X 360. I really found it a lot more useful than any existing small sensored action cam/small cam - and they are that also. The stabilization is incredible (from 5.7K to 4K) and you can match it alright with normal footage in Premiere (do not know about Resolve, never tried) with the free GoPro/Kolorpano plug ins. The low light performance is terrible though, can't use it after dark and I do not like to mix small sensored footage with bigger one. Ricoh has a new 1" one with better low light performance In a couple of year, when 8K will be normal, and someone put a few m43 sensors there, they could literally replace normal cameras for a lot of uses.

He may or may not, that's not even inportant. I shouldn't put it there because it doesn't really matter. My point was that he was already "dead" scientifically, professionally, ethically and then they put him on the asylum, because he was right when everyone else was wrong. But he was right, nevertheless. Certainly, he died 14 days after. It is posted already and it is very real. https://www.change.org/p/hbo-remake-game-of-thrones-season-8-with-competent-writers Who are the "mainstream media"? What is their purpose? Do you believe there is a conspiracy going on to push HBO to re-make the 8th season (and the 7th, probably..)? By whom, and why? What are the deeper forces hiding behind it? Are they fighting Goldmam Sachs - which Benioff's father is a shareholder and ex-president? Are the easterners fighting western values through Westeros? All this PC and "fake news" anomalies will ruin the western civilization for sure.

What are you? Cine-Trump?! They guy was put on an asylum because he was right, and saved lives. "Semmelweis was outraged by the indifference of the medical profession and began writing open and increasingly angry letters to prominent European obstetricians, at times denouncing them as irresponsible murderers. His contemporaries, including his wife, believed he was losing his mind and he was in 1865 committed to an asylum (mental institution). Semmelweis died there only 14 days later, possibly after being severely beaten by guards. Semmelweis’ practice only earned widespread acceptance years after his death, when Louis Pasteur developed the germ theory of disease which offered a theoretical explanation for Semmelweis’ findings. Semmelweis is considered a pioneer of antiseptic procedures. THE SEMMELWEIS REFLEX The Semmelweis reflex or “Semmelweis effect” is a metaphor for the reflex-like tendency to reject new evidence or new knowledge because it contradicts established norms, beliefs or paradigms."

You are a rational person, I respect your opinions, but I have noticed a wee tiny bit of short-sightness from your part! All the big explorers that traveled to Eastern Islands on bamboo rafts, conquered Mount Everest on foot, sledged with dogs to the poles, searched for India the wrong way, first explored space on quite litteraly a giant rocket just under their arses, and the millions of humans that conquered something that matters on this planet (from the first samanic-plant medicine to the radio isotopes) fueled all this knowledge and progress with their lives, and I can type words from my mobile phone right now. Also, I never forget that Ignaz Semmelweis was put on an asylum and beaten to death.

Carl Sagan would have never been your friend! I thought that it is common knowledge that the future of mankind is in space. But to our point: "It is estimated that some asteroids could contain all the platinum obtained from landmines in all of history and have a market price of hundreds of billions of dollars. In fact, it is presumed that some contain iron, nickel or cobalt in sufficient quantity to cover the needs of the Earth for 3,000 years." https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.interestingengineering.com/mining-in-space-what-it-means-for-the-economy Google, Elon Musk, Amazon Bazos are the few that race for the space minerals already. They all loved and are inspired by Sagan.. Thanks for that, because @Mkabi almost convinced me that I have forgotten all my film and video education, work and viewing experience! " “David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have proven themselves to be woefully incompetent writers when they have no source material (i.e. the books) to fall back on. This series deserves a final season that makes sense." I love it when the masses exhibit uncontrolled and undectated common sense, today GOT, tomorrow world peace! ✌ ❤ ✌

Can't stress enough how much better the Mavic 2 Pro is vs the old one, even though the whole 1" camera seem like rushed from DJI and has some unexpected flaws. The 10 bit 1" sensor is there.

From the 400 pages there are less than 50 with useful information, maybe it should be that way.

This is a bit too far as a thought. Maybe you didn't need the Z system, but no way a 499$ action cam is similar than any m43/APS-C system. The limitations are simple too many.

They have been past that. OUR next steps will be with very well educated and skilled astronauts, in the Expanse's world, there are hundrends of years ahead of that. There are generations of people born on Ceres and the other colonies, with bodies changed by gravity and the conditions there. Even now scientists are trying to find viable ways to bring exotic metals from space, it is already a thing!

The script writing is leagues ahead of GOT! Earth solved the overpopulation problem sending people to space, first in the Mars colony, then the outer belt, but there are political issues in earth as well, it is not the gardem of Eden it used to be, it is not the Star Trek utopia but a deeply flawed place, but the best there is in this system. The first 2 seasons were truly exceptional. 3 was good, some over simplifications (or the exact opposite!) at times but it really hold its narrative. It made sense in the end. Has anyone watched the Nightflyers? George R. R. Martin Material, and in HDR, but is pushing behind in my To Watch list, every week for half a year now! What a dissapointment the Star Trek re-boot is so far. Just another super humans product. The movies and the series just not worthy of the Star Trek name. I have recently finished watching all the TV series, again, so I am 100% sure..

I am wondering that too.. This episode so far, has the lowest ratings in the history of GOT both by critics amd viewers, right now is at 47% and it can goower, while the lowest ever was the "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken" with 54% https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2019/05/15/game-of-thrones-the-bells-gets-record-high-ratings-record-low-scores/amp/ https://www.wired.co.uk/article/game-of-thrones-season-8-episode-5-review-the-bells ..most of the professional critics have written millions of words already of how terrible the writing has been.

I am a big fun of the Expanse too! But last season was suspect at points, this 4th season can make or brake it, make it classic or just a very good sci fi one. Dark was very good also, not excellent but liked it better than Stranger Things. One series I never expected to like but enjoyed for its first seasons (last ones are a tier down) is Brooklyn Nine Nine. Good and fun 20 minutes! The Deuce is very good also.

SPOILERS!! Varys gone in the first 10minutes. Cersei, the biggest and meanest conspirator and cynic of that universe, suddenly became just a fool and was waiting a miracle..The Dothrakis and Unsullied were the ones taken the heaviest losses when fighting the dead, suddenly they are thriving again?what are they?clones?Euron killed one dragon with a few ships, but now with all the Iron Fleet and the biggest and most fortified city can't even scratch one. All the fortifications and preparations of years destroyed in 5 minutes of film time. We didn't even see the famous Golden Company to even lift their spears! Euron appeared in front of the King's slayer, Jaime Lanister, talking some nonsense?! Euron..what a waste of character..Why the Hound had to die again? And so many other questions.. The massacre was interesting though, and the Arya scenes. Human nature at its best.. Let's see what happens next week..

"I am just a little kid, who thinks he's always right, from a little lost place called Egypt. Yes, I do fight and defend my ideas even when they're probably wrong. I like being the centre of attention, being noticed and loved. I like being looked up to. I believe I am intelligent & mind-blowingly handsome, just like everyone else does. I am eighteen. I am arrogant. I am not friendly. I am not much of a speaker. I am a good listener, well, I at least have ears and I will never interrupt you. I am confident in front of my screen. I get jealous. I get envious. I love, I hate, I admire and most importantly, I believe. I believe I am neither alone nor lonely. I believe I am here for a reason. I believe I am going to be someone big someday, someday very soon. Seas will rise when I speak, people will listen when I teach. I will devote my one and only life to gain knowledge, and help my fellow human-beings gain theirs. I want to own a Bimmer. I want to own a rare masterpiece. I want to own a Red One and direct an independent film ! I feel like a little kid who says he wants to be an astronaut, but then again, I AM a little kid. and I do have every right to dream... and every right to be naive. I have seen the bright of this world & I have seen the dark as well. I have been hungry & and I have been full. Rough days have passed but, still, there are scars, which define who I am."

Where? I will happily buy a 3rd NX1 with an S lens for 540$ (which is 480euros). This must be the steal of the century. The 16-50S, won lens of the year in DPR that year, is the only 2-2.8f ever exister - practically offers prime quality 2f until 30-32mm, very fast auto-focusing, very good IS (something the Fuji doesn't offer in the 16-55mm). If you can have that combo for 480euros then it is amazing. At ebay, the cheapest is close to 500 EUROS (not $..), body only of course, and goes up to 1.500EUROS. the cheapest recent sales are 408$ (363euros)+shipping, for a camera with the defects: " Camera powers on and works, does have some physical damage. Crack on screen, barely visible when the screen is on. There is a blemish on the bottom right of the grip. The spring on the SD card door is not working but you can still access the slot and use the door." and 225euros, 195 British Pounds + shipping, "Camera is suspected to be water damaged. Signs of water residue in usb port. Battery and memory card compartment clean. Camera doesn't power up. If not repairable definitely good for parts." and 455$+shipping, 405euros + shipping, "Has barely been used, but it has faulty shutter button", explains in the add that the shutter button doesn't work at all. The cheapest in Europe this year was 572 euros, and a little bit less in US.

Sorry, my mistake, my point was/is that they operate on a dedicated band and not the free for all 2.4Ghz, and while they have "amateurish"/prosumer characteristics are twice the price of the XS series. As a professional sound man, both of those are not of any interest to me, but for one-man-bands and solo cameramen, they can offer an easy and convenient way to have some usable sound. Also, wireless transmissions equipment are not just a "gadget", they are very complicated tools that its use has very strict laws and regulations, for health and safety reasons, but telecommunication and military also. It isn't something that is created lightly, that is why for cheap systems the 2.4GhZ is the best solution for manufacturers. Easy to get lost on the budget friendly options, but to put things in perspective go check the prices of what professionals use and you will get the point. Professional sound is a quite expensive endeavor, but you do not have to upgrade every know and then. Take this as an example, for 2 ch. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1374631-REG/lectrosonics_src_smwb_dual_transmitter_and.html this is a 5.900$ kit and in Europe only the receiver is 3000euros! The Deity is what? 649$-699$? Where do you put the limit of your budget? what is your intended use? how far you want to go for your sound? what your customers want and/or need? these are all questions we have to an swear for ourselves every day, and every decision we make. Sound is a very responsible aspect of filmmaking, "medium" is not good enough for sound, what if you have drop offs? what if you have only 10 meters of range on highly polluted by signals territories (for me the G series is dead for a few years now, it is very difficult in city centers and big buildings to keep free signal for long), and when you have anything wireless, you loose some quality mind you, even for ultra expensive Zaxcom, and there are so many other factors to consider.. Just some food for thought from a sound man perspective. My advice is, keep it clean and simple as you can, if it is getting more complex, or more professional, hire a sound man with his tools and experience. Experience in sound is like 90-95% of the job.

I have no clue. What the selling page does say? Are they restricted in any way? I was also reffering to the standard or hybrid devices, maybe the 2.4GhZ is different. Have in mind that 100mW in 2.4GhZ has a lot less range (that depends of a lot of factors obviously) than a typical 50mW Lectrosonics or other brand. They are not directly comparable in output power. All these depends by the technology and the wave they use e.g my Sonys are I believe just 25mW and I am expecting them to be at least similar in range with the Deity. Mine operate at 470 - 542MhZ. 470-542mhZ vs 2.4GhZ do you see the difference here? It is mportant to understand the differences between systems. 2.4GhZ is a free band that is free to license and very cheap to build around it (there are litteraly unlimited devices operating in the 2.4GhZ spectrum, so there are unlimited and very cheap components also). None of the expensive and highly professional wireless systems are using 2.4GhZ. The other 2.4GhZ systems from Sennheiser and Rode are consumer systems, while the Sennheiser AVX, which is prosumer, operates in 2.5GhZ, and there is a significant rise in price (2 times their cheaper 2.4GhZ system). In anyway, I would be expecting a better Deity version sooner than later (in 12-14months time) because there are some serious flows with the system, e.g noise floor to be very high for a prosumer/pro wireless system. Even Judd, which is the least offensive and critical guy ever, admitted that the noise is a big problem from him, and he is not even a real sound man! We are paying - literally - thousands of euros for the least noise floor possible, I wouldn't buy anything sub par for my chain. Sony UWP are still the absolute minimum for me. Now, if you are buying Boyu and some totally unknown Chinese brands, then better buy the Deity, but then, you can just buy cheaper a different option like the Rode Go or Sennheiser which are more straightforward to use and smaller and lighter. At the moment the Deity is a bit lost in translation. If it was out a year ago (where the Go and Senny didn't exist) it would have sold a lot, now it needs a second version to be taken more seriously from prosumers/pros. Of course Deity/Aputure are masters of digital marketing and dominate markets such China and India, so they will do fine, but because they want to build a serious user base, they will have to make a better version sooner than later. This is just my opinion of course.

That's what I was thinking while I was watching. Nothing matters anymore. The spectacle and budget is there, but is empty of soul and stupidly simplified things are happening. It is interesting to watch the post episode video where Benioff and Weiss are explaining the unexplained. They do not have a clue, they have no reasoning and logic whatsoever, they take decisions depending what they feel like at the moment, to puzzle the viewers a bit and silly such reasons, instead to finalize the thick plot of thousands and thousands of pages.

Last episode was a mess too.
