As much as I care about e-waste and longevity (which are VERY important to me), the deal breaker on non-replaceable batteries is that if it dies on set, you have to wait to charge it. There's no way I rely on internal battery systems, even if the company has replacement programs. I'll go one step further, and say that it's also frustrating that there are competing standards for batteries. One device uses AA, another AAA, every camera is different. I want to just buy one type of rechargeable battery, one set of chargers, and power everything.

I bought the same kit earlier this year, and I think I paid about $60. Apart from replaceable batteries (I absolutely refuse internal batteries on any equipment), the advantage over 2.4Ghz sets is that it has quite low latency. I can use them to have "wireless" headphones for real time monitoring.

It looks promising! Everything looks sensibly laid out, more or less. I'd be extremely surprised if Fuji doesn't intend to follow up with a S35 version if this sells well. On a side note, the number of people on various sites who said "I would buy x camera if they put it in a cinema body!" and now turn around and say "it's just a lazily rehoused x camera" is truly mind boggling.

I understand the joke you were making about the dumb image being as useful as the original video, and I, as someone who saw the original title and video, and have some familiarity with the video author, chuckled at the picture. All I'm saying is that I also understand SRV's annoyance that to a random passerby who doesn't read the whole thread, his name is on a post that is no longer the content he posted. Thats regardless of who SRV is as a person (who i havent interacted with before), or the original post itself (which I thought was pointless, and orignally ignored). that's why I said it wasn't life or death as an ironic understatement. I'm not upset in any way. I thought andrgl's post was a bit harsh, so I spoke up. if I came across as upset or in support of rumor mill youtube videos, that was a miscommunication on my part.

I agree with @SRV1981. Totally fair for Andrew to decide what is or isn't posted in his forum by deleting content or adding editor's notes, but I don't think it's good practice to change what a user wrote. @SRV1981 did not post the content that it looks like he posted and I think users should have the right to not be misrepresented as saying something they didnt, even if they don't pay hosting fees. I don't pay hosting fees on Facebook either. And I know in this case it's not life or death. I'm just saying I would be annoyed if my username was labeled as the author of something I didn't write or post.

Ah, apologies, I forgot that scene. It's been a bit since I saw dune, I suppose.

Nice! It's always nice to see what people are making. In terms of matching color, I feel that the recent Dune movies were mostly less saturated. But I love the hyper-stylization you have here, too.

Last week I tested my nikon ai 50mm from the 70s against a modern Irix 45mm, which is not a particularly cheap lens. At f1.4, the irix is clearly sharper and optically better in every way. But by f4 the only difference is that the irix is warmer, no appreciable difference in sharpness, CA, distortion, etc. A decently made nifty fifty from the 80s can be pretty damn good, if it doesn't need to be super fast!

Based on focal length alone, I'd rather have 18-40. No idea about optical quality, but I've often found 28mm to be too long for landscapes, and it's pretty easy to crop if I need a 50mm FOV. However I'm also going to make a guess that the R8 is more comfortable to hold. I don't particularly like the grip shape on the S5 series. I miss handling the NX1.

Since many people already own usb c cables, packing a new one with every gadget results in a lot of waste. The reasoning is that not including a cable and charger with every product will both save millions of cables from being thrown out, and save a lot of packaging material since the box can be smaller. When people need cables they can buy one separately. I personally think it's great to standardize cables and not include them by default.

Definitely not for me. Worse sensor, no filter thread, and a fixed lens that isn't wide at all.

I agree it would be nice to have an s1h ii announcement, but unless a competitor makes something better, I'm not too concerned. I used the nx1 for 3 or 4 years after samsung left the market, so it will likely be years before I think about a new camera regardless. The s9 would be nice for me if it had an evf. I could use a smaller photo camera for backpacking.

The main question is which features are you currently missing, and which bodies have those features? If Sony has the features you need now, it's worth considering. If you're thinking about potential features they might add later, then wait until they are here, and decide at that time.

Maybe slightly, but not in a meaningful way imo. If you really want slightly higher resolution. Similar to the z6III where it's better if you specifically want faster readout. So I don't think that panasonics S5 line is significantly behind the similarly priced competition today, and while you can certainly disagree, I bet a large chunk of buyers see that pool of 24 MP hybrids as being pretty similar in overall value, considering the body alone.

My comment was exclusively about todays live stream, which was very low key and routine for some mundane items. But in the larger picture, its true that in the past few years, panasonic has exclusively released mid budget full frame cameras. They haven't competed with the $4300 R5 for sure. So if we are talking about the >$3500-ish market, Panasonic may be out. But in the $1500-$2500 market, I don't see anything that is noticeably more appealing than what panasonic offers, except maybe the quite recent Nikon Z6III, specifically if you care about readout speed. Like I said in the other topic, it may be the case that there simply isn't a better sensor that is reasonably priced right now. It's not like the competition has better sensors in similar priced bodies.
