All I heard was 28MP @ 240fps RAW - which blows even RED cameras out of the water.

Kai’s Review:

Yeah -> Hoax to reality.

Did you read the book? Cause I didn't and more than half the ideas that you set forward wasn't well displayed on screen... Adam and Even - FTW??? lol... I think it would have supplanted the idea more if they had a snake somewhere there and a big red apple I know it sounds dumb to add those elements (snake & apple), and I said it in a jokey way too... but after some thought, they could've done it in a smart and subliminal way - for example the shape shifter - not exactly take on the shape of a snake - could have slithered towards and coiled around Natalie Portman. At the end, she could've asked Oscar Issac if he was hungry, cut up an apple and feed it to him. But then again, I don't know if thats how it is described in the book(s) and what the hardcore fans would think about altering it (cause ultimately you want people to fill seats and you don't want the fans to warn other fans that it isn't true to the source material). She didn't look like she hated the sex either.... most likely they got a body double, if I was making the movie - I would have hired someone that would be okay with a sex scene, have the guy turn her over somewhere there and soon after a tear + disgusted face would have really portrayed that message. She looked like she felt guilty after the fact....

Alright. Going back to the movie - Ex-machina then... where in the movie does it say that he did it all by himself??? You only assume that because he is on an island on his own... Do you also assume that he built that home on his own? Dug the ground, built the foundation, poured the concrete, etc.? From my perspective, he owns a huge enterprise full of engineers, programmers and testers... he could have easily made various factions build various parts of the AI (both code wise and machine part wise)... he collects the parts (through his VPN), helicopter guy brings in the physical parts and he just put it together. Also, the funny thing about Ex-machina... the sense of time is not revealed. For all we know... it could be 50 years down the road. The guys age is not revealed either, he could've been a 20 year prodigy when he built his company from the ground up, and the movie starts when he is in his 40s or 50s... 20+ years of working on AI??? It leaves a lot of assumptions.

Okay then @frontfocus when you are doing the slowmotion tests, please do additional tests like increasing the shutter speed to match the 180 degree rule to the actual frame rate. So if you are planning to shoot 120fps, then try 1/240 - even though it has in camera conforming - I feel that people are setting it at 1/48 because it is recording it at 24fps. Try various shutter speeds, see if Moire and Aliasing still exist. Thanks in advance.

I think that he means available lens wise.... For example, Fuji claims that their 56mm is the 85mm equivalent, but with the 1.5 crop its really 84mm (so they round up). Editted to add: never mind... didn't think there was a 22mm lens, but there is the 22mm for the EOS-M.

You think Ex-machina is going to "make people fear AI, robots and self-driving vehicles"? Ever watch Terminator 1-2-3 and the rest? What about the Matrix series and the Animatrix? Forget movies... there are whole philosophy courses on AI, and yes, I fear AI and even Elon Musk fears AI.... If you don't fear AI, ask yourself this.... for what purpose do you want AI? So you can have a robot do everything for you, right? Isn't that slavery? You created a robot to think for itself and yet you are making it do what you want it to do.... Imprisonment without reason, work without reward.... its punishment really.... You are a person of intelligence that is able to think for yourself, so imagine yourself in a robot body and I am commanding you to do my biding.... in a robot body you might not have any feelings but you can think... "hey why should I do what he asks me to do?" "Why should I listen to this guy?" etc. etc. Eventually... robots will be smarter and stronger... so why not attack and kill its owner? Robot war begins... and everything Terminator and the Matrix becomes true.

@Attila Bakos When you were shooting the slow motion videos, what was your shutter speed?

It’s in theaters here in Canada.

See here:

But thats the one I pointed out. You said its on the a7r2???

Really? I haven't seen any news of this issue prior to the a7iii. Some preliminary research shows the following: https://***URL removed***/forums/thread/3900698 But that isn't the same thing - you will see as you read through the thread and sample photos show up.

Calm down... Calm down everyone. There is absolutely no need to fight. Sony will definitely fix the following issue: https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/details-sony-a7iii-stripe-issue/ Within 6 months, I'm sure of it.... With a new body that will put the a7iii to shame... Just to equalize that comment. Fuji will fix the problem in 8 months, way after Sony introduces its other body and it would have reduced its launch price, just in time for Christmas

lol... I'm not laughing cause I do not agree... but what happened to the naysayers? What about 10 bit? What about 4K/60p? It all became a mute point. Does 'price' really overshadow all of that???

Sometimes I wonder if I should just rent one and try it out for the weekend.

It was just okay for me... think Contact (1997) meets Invasion of the body snatchers (1978) Ex-machina was a thousand times better...

I don’t know... to build traction...?

never mind... sometimes you see it on your phone and wonder whats going on...

I saw the review... can you do one man hand held if one can figure how to mount a monitor to the drone?

That was relatively thorough, but oddly I was liking many of the images coming from the a7sii.

Also, just know that its all Manual Focus & Manual Aperture Ring. I don't know if your d5300 has focus peaking, but you may have to punch in with the magifier (if you have that ability on the d5300). Good luck.

Yeah, shop around. May be you will find a better price, I felt $134 is a standard price... I remember getting a Zeiss 6 prime set for about $800 (3 day rental) for a paid shoot.

Yeah thats a good price. Couple of things, figure out what the Zeiss's native mount is.... I know most cinema lenses are PL, some EF.... but now you have to look into getting an adaptor (thats if you don't have one already). Given that you "had a blast" with the 85mm 1.8, thats a 135mm equivalent on a APS-C... and I can understand why you would like that lens, typical 85mm and/or 135mm are portrait lenses. As for 35mm... its really about taste here... we rarely find people that like the medium length, because it becomes a 50mm equivalent on a APS-C, and yeah everyone talks about the 50mm (because it becomes 85mm equivalent). There are a lot of people that love the wides, if you want true 35mm on APS-C, try the Zeiss 20mm if they have it. If this is about you trying to discover yourself and what you like.... then go for the 35mm.
