Fair enough. It's good to know that people have money to throw around. LOL

Yeah, sure Jan!

My brother did similar things, maybe 15-20 years ago, while he was still in university. They recorded water in circular wave tanks. I can't recall the type of video camera they used but if it had a CCD, I assume it would have had a global shutter. He asked me to import and convert that video, on...

Actually, no - if you projected a 6x17 image so that the height almost filled my peripheral vision, the right and left thirds of the image would be way outside of it.

Prediction: a lot of films will be released in 4:3 for home cinema. The point is to fill as much of the viewer's peripheral vision as possible. Widescreen looks great, of course. But I like the IMAX principle.

Some banter about the GFX Eterna, and hybrid cameras. If you like this sort of thing. (1:26:35)

This is actually very cool indeed. I'd never use this camera. But I think that Fujifilm is very serious about growing their business. They pretty much own medium format, making it easier for more photographers to shoot 100Mpx files. I think this is a natural move for them, as they have little...

You're right - there are not many reviews at all. I found only one that looks useful:

This camera is not bad at all! I have a feeling that the CCD might make a comeback - not out of nostalgia, but out of necessity. They already have global shutters as part of their design. So... who knows. I am just thinking aloud.

Apple M2 Ultra: 8164.53. On this list, that chip is 476th fastest: https://xmrig.com/benchmark The first 42 places are taken up by AMD chips. They are monsters.

Thank you for pointing this out. Noted!

I would love to know how they perform in terms of hashrate for crypto mining.

IMHO, Apple has gotten too high on their own minimalism. There is plenty of room for a few more ports and an SD card slot.

Cool computers. But not quite enough ports! I think I might stick to my strategy of buying secondhand when I upgrade.

Thanks for sharing that. It makes a lot of sense, and now I can see a technical reason for why I don't like the image quality.

Fascinating stuff. From what I've seen so far, I am not happy with the image quality of the Sony A9 III. Having said that, I can say the same for the first two. It didn't get worse, but it didn't get much better IMHO. So many variables...

I like the philosophy! Give that they seem to be made for digital, are they rear telecentric? Would they need to be?

Speaking of low pass filters... Leica could never make a cinema camera, because they could never bear to include a LPF in it. :-P The last time I checked, cinema cameras absolutely need a LPF, whether we like it or not.

Interesting point. Some 35mm lenses work fairly well, and all you need is some vignetting correction and a minor crop.

This makes perfect sense. But the V-Raptor is pretty darned good - in fact it's more camera than most people would ever need! I imagine that a 65mm sensor from Red would have to be at least 12K. Or, 8K with amazingly high sensitivity or DR. Otherwise, it's just bigger for the sake of being bigger.
