Sometimes, people make decisions which are just good enough that their flaws aren't obvious for many years. The USB-A plug is one example of that. The Bayer array is another. (The disappearance of the 3.5mm headphone jack on phones is another). The Bayer array has 50% of the grid as green. We...

Not news for some, but DxO tested two Red sensors, the Dragon and the Helium. The Dragon matched the 50Mpx Sony medium format sensor in DR. This sensor is used in several MFD cameras. The Helium actually beat it, and still holds the title for best DR tested by DxO. I wonder what the V-Raptor...

I haven't read the report yet, but I wonder if you have done, or will do, a comparison between Raptor X and the medium format sensors? I imagine that the Raptor X will have more DR even without EH. And on a tangent, I have no doubt that black and white film can give 20-25 stops of DR. All you...

These are on my short-list. Got a recommendation? Something else, perhaps? I don't intend to go off-road. I like the 4WD (why not?), the ride height, and the practicality. https://www.just4x4s.com.au/news-and-reviews/2008-jeep-kk-cherokee-review/10512...

Thank you very much for taking the trouble to produce and compile all this data. I'm amazed at the results with EH. 20 stops is nuts. Even without EH, we're seeing 17 stops or so, which is not far off from the Alexa 35, IIRC. I very much look forward to reading the full report.

Nikon's brand management has a lot to answer for. There should have never been a cheap Nikon. Affordable, yes. Cheap, no.

I think that the people at Nikon will have to stop being so conservative. Sometimes you really do need to hit the ball out of the park, which is what Red and Apple always understood.

That sensor is medium format quality, per pixel. Terrific stuff. Pro tip: if you want something special, try S lenses with these cameras. I've seen some of the results and they are very nice indeed.

Whaaaaat. So much to say, so hard to articulate.

If you check the online reviews, you'll find that a few people still like and use this camera. Personally, I think it's way outdated. Unlike the Epic, which holds up very well to some modern cameras from other manufacturers. And the Epic is amazing value. Still, I think you can auction off the...

I do agree, here. An AI extension for Blender would produce more reliable results than heavy processing of 2D imagery. But, I must disagree with one point: emotional connection can be had with anything. Cartoons, CGI, stuffed animals, whatever. Let's not pretend that only human actors can...

That could be true, at least up to a point. But, knowledge and experience are different things. So, I think it just depends.

Hollywood is dying, either way. But, that's not inevitable. They just forgot how to make movies for some reason. And it's not like there was a gap where people just stopped making movies. Something happened.

We should troll AI algorithms as much as we can. Feed it fake data like movie titles, people, concepts, etc. Already, some algorithms can't tell when you're asked a fake question. It's quite funny.

You know I'm going to give it to you straight, good and hard.

My favourite cars are 1990s era BMWs. And they cost four figures, not six figures. ;-)

I think I get what you mean. And I agree. You do believe in yourself, and therefore, you use tools that match your vision, skills, confidence, and ambition.

Clean the lens! Especially on phones. Great video. I have not heard an interview with Miranda before. I really like listening to him. We have come a long way since Tangerine and the 5S. I mean, pulling focus on a phone camera? Gear matters, for sure. To say otherwise is fake. But sometimes...

Not bad at all. Is the banding fixable?
