6.5mm F2.0 Meike Fish-eye lens
> Any one tried using this lens with 360VR camera setups? Just thought I'd bump this and ask again... or any other suggestion for better UWA / fisheye lenses to shoot 360VR with the minimal number of S35 / APS-C cameras?

The Panasonic "PDAF" rant
> As I recall there was strong rumours about the GH6 getting phase AF as well from several sources, one person living in Japan in particular. Which only partially was true. No PDAF for GH6 after basically SIX years of developement, but PDAF was i…

Panasonic S5M2 with Phase Hybrid AF
Unfortunately the S5 IIX only does 1080 ProRes internal recordings. I hope they add 2K ProRes as well! Because that's a very common resolution with ProRes. And SD cards can handle 2K. (and the SD cards is why it doesn't have 4K ProRes, and…

Sony FX30
If I was to buy another camera brand new today then I think I'd definitely go with the Sony FX30! I just can't see anything else competition against it, not unless I spent waaaay more for a FX6. (wish there was a FX60!)

Clearly external recorders for cameras is not something that is going to last forever, as many cameras get better and better internal recording options (4K 10bit internal is now becoming common place and expected in every camera). This fact will b…

NZ: Hail to New Zealand green fascists!
Sadly you're talking about my country :-( Is ironic, we're already the cleanest and greenest country in the world for growing beef and producing milk, and yet we're going to get whacked with a big fat green tax. Which will result…

Worldwide PC sales are really bad
Once/if ETH2.0 happens later this year, then GPU sales and secondhand pricing will crash even harder.

Tablets shipments plummet
Did demand spike up during the early stages of the lockdowns? Likely lots of people have perfectly good tablets now at home, and have no need to upgrade them. Thus a drop in demand now.

Fascinating reading the FD Times report on the ALEXA 35. Seems all past cameras they took a waterfall approach to development, but the ALEXA 35 was the first time they used agile development. https://www.fdtimes.com/pdfs/free/115FDTimes-June2022-2…
