I've said it before, delivery in 8K doesn't appeal to me as a consumer. I don't want to sit that close to my TV to appreciate 8K. I don't have room for a TV any bigger than 65 inches without dedicating an entire wall to a single screen. I really am satisfied watching 4K on a 55 inch set from 10 feet away. As a creator, I can't think of many times when I've told myself "I really wish I had more resolution to play with." That might change, but the bulk of my work is still exported at 1080p. There really isn't much demand for 4K, from my experience, and most people still watch 1080p video on their 4K TVs because there's a limited amount of 4K channels / content available. This push for 8K this quickly really seems silly and little more than a marketing move to sell people TVs they don't really need.

You'll notice an improvement in IQ on all those cameras, for sure, though the G7 is still has a very good image. What kind of work are you doing? For me personally I lean towards the GH5 because the IBIS and all of the video centric features. I do a lot of handheld work, and the IBIS allows me to get stable footage with a stripped down set up. It's kind of the Swiss army knife of cameras, it can handle pretty much everything you throw at it. The 1080p on the GH5 is also fantastic. Still if the X-T3 had comparable IBIS and didn't have the recording limit I'd be very, very tempted.

I still might just to add some piece of mind lol.

I've filled the holes with Plumbers Epoxy Putty and am gonna sand it down. I'm thinking of then doing a layer or two of JB Weld. The putty seems to have attached itself, since I sanded and prepped the area, and I've taken a hammer and hit it, and it seems to be holding. So I'm thinking, at worst, that'll fill the holes and then the JB Weld can coat and reinforce it. ??

1080p on the C100 looks decent upscaled. I know people that still shoot with it.

I'm guessing we'll start seeing information start to trickle out in February or so, assuming they announce the GH6 in the spring like I suspect.

J-B Weld Plastic Bonder allegedly works, but would I need something to bond to it?

Most of the plumbers Epoxy putty I'm seeing says not for use on polypropylene, which is what the cases are made of. Should I try anyway?

I'll wait for Curtis Judd's review before getting too excited. I just kinda realized that for the first time in like 10 years I'm not using any Rode mics. Kinda wild.

What would you recommend I cut? Maybe PVC? Another friend also suggested that foam insolation that expands, and then sand it down before adding a layer of Epoxy. Another one suggested filling the hole with Epoxy, sanding it down, and then adding another layer or two of Epoxy. As long as it's water resistant I'll be happy!

Yeah I'm guessing there's likely not enough room to do both, at least not optimally. Maybe someone will be able to do it though!

I don't like to use that kind of rhetoric because it dumbs down discourse and makes it impossible to have intelligent discussion. But it's extremely frustrating that information is so readily available and yet we have people taking politicians at their word. If you're not skeptical of everything that comes out of a politician's mouth, including ones that are on "your side," then I really don't know what to say. Words still have meaning to some of us, and things like "alternative facts" don't really exist. The truth is apolitical, no matter how much people try to spin it and muddy the waters. If someone can't admit, or accept, that the President is intentionally misleading people on this subject I'm really not sure what to say and worry that they are a lost cause because they are beyond caring about the truth at this point. It's hard to come back from that.

We'll wake up from this nightmare some day.

Kipon announced a EF-MFT Mount Adapter with variable ND filter. Supports auto focus too. Suggested retail will be about $600 US, which seems a bit high since it isn't a speed booster, but it wouldn't shock me to see Viltrox or one of the other Chinese companies put out a decent low priced version. https://www.tokyotrading.jp/info/可変ndフィルター搭載afマウントアダプター-「ef-mft-af-nd」/

You know political discourse is in the trash when people assume anyone that agrees with their views are the "intelligent" ones. Just further proof that everything is constantly dumbed down by people on all sides because actual discourse and the exchange of ideas isn't conducive to the political environment they want, where political parties and ideology are like sports teams and the people on the opposing team are stupid, or hate their country.

So I picked up a 1560 Pelican case for dirt cheap after having used an off brand version. It was used to store computers, but I'd like to use it to store video equipment. It's in really good condition, the problem is the case has been modified with five holes, two for power cables and three for ethernet cables. Does anyone have any experience with patching holes in Pelican cases? I'm not too concerned about making them submerge proof, but I'd like to make them as water resistant as possible. Any ideas / suggestions would be appreciated!

It's not bad at all in 24 or 30p but 60p isn't very good. It just doesn't have the data rates you'd want.

I believe it's a Trump campaign video.

Where do people get this stuff?

It's easy being libertarian when you know you'll never actually have to live in a libertarian country.

Yikes ?

Can't speak for Andrew, but if it were me I'd say "good riddence."
