I was very keen to get this Loupedeck but then I read that it will not work in Camera Raw if images are opened via Bridge. Sounds crazy if true, as that is how most non-Lightroom photographers work. Can anyone confirm?
carying around a lens totally defeats the advantage of having a pocketable camera phone that does wide, portrait and zoom. The software in the best camera phones have come a long way - unless you pixel peep, they are more than capable to replace a dedicated camera for non-professional work
And in other important DJI news; The Air2s is finally compatible with the RC controller
While the phone sounds promising, the software is a massive let-down. Check comparison videos between this and the Vivo X80 Pro. The Vivo crushes it (and most other phones) even if the software is also not perfect.
The Vivo X90 Pro+ is rumoured to be released soon with a 1" sensor too. Combined with the newer Qualcomm chip and Vivo's amazing camera tech, it will be worth waiting for. Btw, not here to promote Vivo, I'm just very excited having almost pilled the trigger on the X80 pro
Finally time to retire my Hero 7 black - was about the pull the trigger on the 10, but glad I held off a little longer
Now please announce the Vivo x80 Pro Plus with the new SD processor that doesn't overheat
Man, how many times have we seen the Death Valley salt flats in competition pictures?!? Stunning photos though!
I used to not care about weight, but as I get older I started feeling the strain when doing 8 hours+ weddings. Using the Sony 24 1.4 GM is such a pleasure - and the Tamron 70-180 is a life (back) saver (came from a Canon 70-200 2.8 with adapter). Never going back to heavy gear as long a lighter alternatives are available
Been watching comparison videos between this and the Vivo X80 Pro. Decided on not getting any of them. The Vivo has overheating issues, the Xiaomi neglegted the periscope and selfie camera which are pretty bad. I am hoping other companies will embrace the large sensor (and using the entire sensor) while not skimping on the other cameras. Dropping 1k on a phone, you want everything to feel premium.
For now, my 4-year old Huawei P30 Pro is doing a great job

Seems the ultra wide and zoom are sub par which is a big shame. The S22 ultra is all-round great. Though - most of the shots are taken with the main camera and if the 12s is the best on the market - perhaps still worth it? waiting for comparisons with the X80 pro before deciding (and hopefully a European release!)
Henrikw: As its unlikely this phone will have a global release, any reason for us to get excited? Anyone planning to import it from China?
It says the 12s is unlikely to have a global release. But fingers crossed.
I have a Huawei P30 pro and still an amazing phone.
Cant say the environment is the factor keeping me away from more regular upgrades, that would be money

Sounds exciting, but these days it's all about clever processing. ie the Xperia Pro-I had the large sensor but poor processing/optimization.
The Vivo X80 Pro has a smaller sensor, but market leading image quality. I'm very close to pull the trigger on this phone but will wait a bit to see what clever tech Xiaomi comes up with.
Looks impressive, but why would you go for this over over the S22 Ultra if the versatility and quality of the cameras is the main reason for upgrading your phone?
Seems Samsung still has the edge - I can't find a single reason why I would go for the Vivo
MrBrightSide: Mirrorless cameras are doomed thanks to innovators like this. The camera companies should have stuck with DSLRs and improved them to far out-perform these imaging monsters. Instead they tried to develop a whole new camera paradigm—reinventing the wheel.
Pursuing mirrorless was a fruitless, and now apparently fatal distraction.
nah, I will never swap my two Sony A9's for mobile phones when shooting weddings. Mirrorless is the best thing that happened to wedding photographers who used to log around heavy equipment for 8+ hours.
I don't see how these are in direct competition with mobile phones.
Wow, I was so close to buying the Air 2 after practicing with the Mini for 6 months.
1" sensor is awesome - I mainly use the drone for photography, often low light. The noise is pretty rough on the mini.
I do enjoy the small size and relatively low noise of the mini so guess I will keep it for certain situations
Botifarro: :
And all of this in the same miniscule, dinky and most un-ergonomic body of ANY camera on the market.. and without even a built-in battery grip. If this is a "pro" camera, let me go outside to see if a meteor is coming, because I think maybe it is. What a joke.
If you can afford this camera, you can afford the grip. Many people - including pros - buy these camera in part because they are small and light. It makes perfect sence to leave the grip as an option as it's not needed by everyone.
I bought a grip because I have big hands and like the extra stability. Coming from Canon 5d MKIV's, I never felt they were too small. Much better button layout and customisation was something I immediately noticed. And my back keeps thanking me for shedding the weight.
No, this camera looks like a winner in every way
In what scenario are you comfortable to manually use 1.2? Tripod in a studio? Surely not on the move at shoot which offered no second chances.
I love the big apertures as it allows me to shoot low light at weddings (ie dimly lit churches).
I would be in a world of pain though if I attempted a wedding with a manual focus lens
EXkurogane: DJI has been accused of sending footage filmed on their drones back to China before. Now a patent infringement on mechanism that drives the rotors huh. That sounds like suing a competitor because their car has the the same wheels or driveshaft. Feels like a political move to me, because everything is china's fault nowadays. Even your momma suffering from diarrhea due to a bad meal is also china's fault.
@EXkurogane If the Chinese government imposed a permanent ban on consumption of the animals identified as being carriers of the virus, we would not have this current pandemic. After the SARS outbreak (another coronavirus) in 2002, wildlife sold at their unhygienic markets were identified as a culprit.
China acknowledged this and imposed a temporary ban on the sale/consumption of these animals. But the ban was lifted after just a few months and now the coronavirus is back. So no - this is not like "poisonous animals in Australia" - it could have been prevented but the Chinese decided not to as their cultural practices had greater importance. We should call them out for this disaster regardless how much money is at stake with them as business partners.
man with large format camera takes picture of woman on computer screen. yes, we are all bored at the moment
