Can I have a goat wearing a little bell pre-exposed in the lower-right corner of each frame? Because I don't know how to add that in photoshop, and everything I shoot surely can use a goat wearing...

It's not same level as SpaceX by a long shot, but that's not the point. Tinkerers should be given an environment where they can tinker and inspire others, in a way that's reasonably safe and...

Even has an airport https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strezhevoy_Airport but again, it is a matter of laws of the land and a practical situation on the ground.

As for DPReview's stance, it is...

This was deliberately in the middle of nowhere, Russia. No commercial air traffic for hundreds off miles, and no reason for military air posture of any significance.

I'll be willing to receive and leaf through their drivel, but I require a stipend of $12 per issue.

If the grain looks blotchy that means the scan is out of focus and/or we're seeing the interference pattern between the grains and pixels - not the actual grains.

We'll not hit the limits of film...

come back in another 10 years

That's nothing. We need a bot that will watch all that drivel on youtube for us and auto-engage in heated arguments with trolls in the comments about the relative merits of this vs. next-year drone...

The fact that the photos have been meticulously sanitized from the internet is telling me that it was done as a part of the settlement, and that chances are they're pretty indefensible for a client...

when is the 100 megapixel firmware update + press release coming out?

Those are a lot more about SDI connectivity, genlock, ..... , and ultimately plain mechanics - how the rails are attached to the camera body and how stout the lens mount is. If you pull focus...

I agree. I mean, I'm frustrated same as you about these handicaps (and while the 4:2:0 can be mitigated with an external recorder, 8 bits not so much). Providing a 12 or 14 bit out for an external...

And 8 bit color. And 30fps. But, it's a $2K camera. Exactly what % of the footage shot with it will have been world's cinematic treasure if it wouldn't have been for these devastating handicaps?

2018 = Year of SONY

Colors are still better with Kodachrome. But life moves on.

It's "the standard non-standard" in that, same as Canon and Nikon, the center contact (plus ground) works the same way, and it has extra brand-specific contacts.

But even the central contact...

I agree. A hotshoe bracket that mounts the camera a couple of inches forward, AND has the release via the hotshoe (surely if it can trigger a flash, it can trigger anything) would have been smarter.

Exactly.

I think the photographer(s) should be invited to the grand stage to receive the award, and at the last minute everybody should be like, "nah, we're kidding, the award was just staged because we...

* Not implying these companies have a burning desire for anyone's privacy - it's simply they're and their principal investors are not answerable to Uncle Sam to the same extent, and their "masters"...
