Joe Bagadonuts: The corners don’t seem that sharp. Doesn’t NASA have any brick wall laboratories?

Let's fly one to Mars!!! Will be a huge hit on YouTube. We could do a wall unboxing video!!! All done by robotic arm operated remotely from NASA on Earth!! How many views will we get?

A drink on Mars ... the next big thing for the influencer crowd I guess :(

Tokyo_in_Pics: Before I started watching, I was a bit dubious about it. Then I start watching and in the beginning, I was instantly bored but decided to keep with it. Now, I've decided to watch it in its entirety. It really is incredibly interesting!

'What a time to be alive!" is something people probably say every generation. And it is so true. I enjoyed the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s but things are only picking up. I also saw the surface of Mars from an overhead spacecraft. It seemed to be miles and miles of dunes (or something similar) and in 4k it was amazing. Can't wait for the next one!

ecka84: They still don't get it? High-res modes are gimmicky marketing nonsense. Simple image stitching beats all the high-res modes. Because it doesn't need tripods and dead-still subjects.

I think they do get it, because they have customers lined up to buy their products.

P.S. I do get what you are saying though.

HDPro Brasil: One should track down his "victims" and then form a lawsuit, because he apparently has never heard of "The right to your own image".
And IMO this is not art, this is lack of education, which of course leads to photos which are different from those photographers with education, with me he would have to visit a surgeon after stepping in my way and sticking a camera in my face without notice!

If you publish a photo of someone in Japan without permission and cause them embarrassment, they have the right to sue.

Mr_Win: Upon second assessment of the guy, he’s extremely rude, and at the same time, he works very similarly to American photographer Garry Winogrand, a highly praised “Edgy” artist. Give this man a 16mm, “Edgy 2.0”.

His tactics also remind me of Bruce Geldon.

He's also on Samuel L. Streetlife's YouTube channel and he's said a few outrageous things about his tactics (subtitles are also available in English). Tatsuo used to be a student at my school, but unfortunately I never got the chance to teach him.

Kiwisnap: Just what we need. Social Media companies deciding what we should and should not see...

I'm all good with it because with all the fake news, deceptive stories and spin ... how can we believe anything in the first place? And if it's not fake or deceptive then we have people just decrying news as fake or lies. Even the people in government will tell lies and distort truths to get what they or their policies want. It has always been so. Why not leave everything up to Twitter because it surely can't do any worse.

Photoman: I prefer the US system...shotgun!

It's your right and personal choice. That's good, as long as you are happy to accept the 30, 000 unnecessary deaths from guns each year too. Seems you're saying the right to have a gun is more important than those victims.

On article DPReview TV: Fujifilm X100V hands-on preview (100 comments in total)
In reply to:

Xerien: This video made me settle on Ricoh Gr iii - the preview itself is great. It's just that the camera seems to be too big compared to GR - and the IQ is not that different, if anything, I assume that the Ricoh is much more sharper. Apart from the differences that come with lens and the awesome jpeg fuji cameras produce, GR still stands as a true "pocketable" camera.

I have a GR III and enjoy it a lot. Fits in the pocket and the pictures are very sharp.

I'm not even American, but I never understood why the US government bought stuff like this from China. Who would give any potentially important information to a rival? Aren't federal lands and resources vitally important?

Unus: This nonsense, coupled with those deepfakes that have destroyed our trust in videos, show that society has completely lost its way.

I think you might well be right.

zsedcft: How about they make the app Instagram used to be. Chronological timeline and a simple UI. They still have enough name recognition to get people on board.

I think that would be a great idea. An Instagram-type app for photographers, not influencers or wannabe influencers, is what I'd like to see. But someone will always try to game the system.

Rootbeer Man: Does Pentax owner sold Ricoh Then He left? 🤔

Did yes, they.

Sardonic G: Wonder if the system uses updated versions of GI Joe dolls, full automated with GI Joe sized shoulder launched SAMS as the key element in bringing these rogue drones down. If they aren't, it be really cool if they did....

GI Joe is so small that they could mount him on a hunter/killer drone.

I'd prefer to eliminate the guns more than the drones.

My first DSLR was a Pentax K-30 in matte orange. I enjoyed that camera a lot. Even now I regret selling it. Whenever I turned up at an event, all eyes turned to it.

D200_4me: Doom didn't get good until Doom 3 ;-) Gotta keep the lights on in the room when playing that one :-) Creepy...

@Ilia Snopchenko - I didn't enjoy Quake 1 at all. Yes, it was a more technologically advanced game, but if I remember correctly there were far fewer enemies on screen at one time. And yes, Doom 2 was good and I enjoyed that immensely.

I loved Doom 1 too. There is something about old school games plus a large amount of nostalgia.
