40mm(e) seems to be having a moment...

Who cares? That's what assistants are for. ;-)

True dat. :-)

Back when I was working in video/TV, we used to reckon 100 days hire = buy - for camera gear at least; iirc the ratio for lighting kit was slightly different. And you never spent...

:-) Nice one.

<< While the $2150 price tag may not yet place this technology in the hands of every day photographers and film-makers it is a whole lot less than the Arri Orbiter which uses similar technology...

Using the AI and BVLOS capabilities, you just whisper your message to it and it flies to the recipient's location and tells them what you said.

Agreed. If only they did a video editing/titling/FX app (or apps), my life would be complete. As it is, Lightworks does a fine job, and is reasonably interoperable.

The cynic in me guesses they have surplus inventory to shift before they can roll out the Apple Silicon version...

This is why I think we should adopt 'mme' when stating full-frame equivalents. Concise, and much less confusing.

19mme gives an actual focal length on 1" of just over 7mm. I'd guess that's what leads to the thickness and the big lens bulge. Probably accounts for the wide lens choice too - a 28mme lens would...

19mme is way too wide for me; I'd likely be passing even if I could afford it.

I think they meant "full frame equivalent". Still not sure of the point, though...

I'm guessing the eye-detection AF had a bit of trouble with this one... ;-)

There's always VSCO... At least, there would be if it were a better social app and it hadn't dropped its desktop offering. As of right now, it's neither fish nor fowl. Irritating, as it has massive...

@ffereres - Flickr has the 'Follower' thing too. But you're right, they're not portable. I'm guessing even if there was a way to do that, there'd be a problem matching user IDs across services.

@Magnus3D they already have; check it out on the app store.

They've also formed an Alpha group of committed users to help them develop and improve the platform.

Meanwhile, Flickr has been quietly bumbling along in the background and is taking steps to improve its design and user experience. It's always been more versatile than Instagram; maybe now is the...

Agreed. Twitter is drunk on the ultra-woke Kool Aid. I like to think of myself as pretty woke, but Twitter's zealousness (and inconsistency) is sufficiently obtrusive that I no longer treat it as a...

Flickr's still out there and it's still more versatile than Instagram. Has a few design issues, but they're working on it. Best of all, it has no 'influencers' and no algorithm.

Does anybody have any up-to-date info on what's happening at Jessops? I sent a camera in for a warranty repair a few weeks ago, following an exchange of emails with their customer service ...
