They'll complain, but they'll still buy if they've stuck with Canon this long. From my experience the people leaving Canon have primarily been video shooters, or at least those that lean on the video side more than photography side. I don't see a lot of weddings photographers using Sony, for example. They're going after the market that is most vulnerable to leaving Canon / have left Canon but can be won back. Most of those folks didn't leave because of Canon's hefty price tags, they left because of how far behind they fell. And while I'm skeptical over whether it's a better camera, the R5 being roughly $500-1000 more than the S1H doesn't seem unreasonable if you're looking to spend that much anyway.

They did post a video today Looks like no continuous AF in video. At least not yet.

$4999, $4500 minimum. They know it'll do well with their current customer base while bringing back some of the customers they've lost. They have no reason to go lower.

I mean, at worse it's a sign that Canon is alert and realizes they need to step their game up.

It's kinda wild how quick people are to trust Canon won't disappoint them, given it feels like only 6 months ago they were getting blasted for removing 24p.

There has to be some kind of caveat. It seems impossible that they'll be able to deliver these specs without compromises.

It's great. I've got 3. Paired with a Glow EZ Lock softboxes from Adorama they're incredible value!

These lights are great. I still use them quite a bit even though I have my Godox SL-60W. I'd definitely recommend it for those starting out or who need some affordable, good LED lights! It was really the first budget LED I worked with that I felt was worth it. The ones I'd worked with before gave a nasty green tint.

I use both the GX85 and G85 with my GH5 and indeed, they all match wonderfully

It was actually Caleb who had his HDMI die!

When it comes to them I've had better luck with their other equipment than I have with the cameras I've used / owned. It's why I have been hesitant to buy another camera since having issues with multiple OG Pockets. I've had two people I know of that had their HDMI ports die on the Pocket 4K and saw a YouTuber just recently post a rig build who mentioned their HDMI port also died. I'm still unable to get the latest version of Resolve to run as well as the last version, particularly in multicam. I went from being able to do multicam cuts with 4K footage to not being able to do it with even 1080p footage without massive amounts of dropped frames. I'm glad they exist because they're pushing the industry forward, and when things work right they are lovely, but yeah, there are considerable issues.

I believe it does. He talked about live switching in HD and then mastering using Blackmagic Raw in 4K afterwards.

Love, love, love external recording.

Whatever it is it'll probably have terrible battery life!

I'm comparing a late 2019 Sony to a late 2013 GH3... All I asked was, why is IBIS on Sony cameras so much worse than everyone else's? Is there different implementations going on? Why does it do almost nothing in video? I watched a Potato Jet video this morning. Canon's digital stabilization blows Sony's IBIS away. What makes everyone else's IBIS so much better? It's just really, really weird.

My buddy is staying with me for a couple days because he's been dealing with some personal issues and didn't want to be alone. I asked him to bring his new a6600 because I've been wanting to play with it. It's probably because I'm used to the GH5 but I was really taken back by how bad the IBIS is. I broke out my old GH3, which doesn't have IBIS, and we compared the two. The a6600 was only marginally better. It handled the micro jitters better, but it was still really rough overall. Is this solely a body size issue? Or is there a different reason why their IBIS is so much worse? Is it software related some how? And is there different implementations of IBIS, meaning is Sony's implementation done differently than say Panasonic or Fuji?

3-4 years ago Sony was second only to Panasonic when it came to preamps in these kind of cameras. But like with everything else everyone has caught up. With that said, for most work the A7iii will give acceptable results. For the other work an external solution is an easy to implement.

It's a wild time to be alive, one where people trash socialist policies but then are relieved to hear they're going to get a free check to help them out. It's a confusing time.

1. Nationalism in all forms sucks. 2. I think everyone has their own reasons for why they'll take a break from posting here. I'm sure many of those mentioned will show up again. People get busy, burned out, etc. 3. Re: Trump, it's becoming increasingly hard to look past people's continued support for him. Part of it is partisanship, which is toxic in its own right, but if you can't see the racism, the bigotry, the cronyism, the greed, the lack of human decency, etc. Or, worse, look beyond all that to find the "positives" about him, what is one supposed to do in response? Ultimately it's depressing that the paradigm has shifted so much when it comes to political discourse. The bar has been lowered so much that to partake in the discussion at all means you're probably going to get covered in human feces. COVID-19 will come and go, but that unfortunately is here to stay for the foreseeable future.

The media is flawed, but in this instance I'm not sure what people wanted them to do differently? If anything I feel they were too conservative and probably should've been pushing even harder for answers/action. That's kinda their role in a functioning democracy. It's easy to talk about "personal responsibility" and all that other stuff, but society has shown repeatedly that people have shitty judgment and don't look at the bigger picture. You need only look at the beaches in Florida last week; those people's actions will go on to impact far more people than themselves as they go home and spread it to people. It begs the question, why was it allowed to happen? It shouldn't have.

I've heard very good things about the Movo blimp. It's even cheaper than Rode!

You're correct, he didn't use the word hoax. He implied that statistics were "false." I misread. https://www.vox.com/2020/3/5/21166031/trump-hannity-coronavirus-who-death-rate The way the head of the pandemic response team resigned would indicate he was dismissed. No one wants to take responsibility for that, for obvious reasons. The rest of what I said is true.

Fact: They literally fired those in charge of the pandemic response team and disbanded it. Fact: Trump repeatedly downplayed the crisis as it worsened. He even used words like "hoax." Fact: Trump has repeatedly lied and spread disinformation about the disease, our testing ability, and our response efforts. Fact: the United States is lagging behind when it comes to being able to test people.

I don't think you really care about reality, so it doesn't make sense to engage you anymore. You're not rational.
