Well put, GrymphM. I'm happy I purchased a Z9, but it's a shame reviews don't cover the substantial time investment in setting up this camera. And I'm still waiting for a new memory card {not to...

These are excellent. Concise, clear & helpful.

As someone once wrote (Mark Twain?), "If I'd had more time I'd have written a shorter letter". Takes skill and effort. Thanks.

Absolutely. Vertical format makes a great deal of sense both for some viewing media and for some content -- just as it does for photos. I recently did a project with slow motion video of tennis...

And Wiki: "HEIF itself is a container that may not be subject to additional royalty fees for commercial ISOBMFF licensees. Note however that Nokia also grants its patents on a royalty-free basis...

Since there is some confusion here, wiki: "On September 29, 2014, MPEG LA announced their HEVC license which covers the essential patents from 23 companies.[50] The first 100,000 "devices" (which...

True Jon555, except the next update, and the next update, and .... you get further behind and have more things that don't work :(

Darned good question <g>. First, video eats that size up. But for stills, IMHO depends on reason for shooting batches. 1) Must have moment, e.g. scroll quickly to foot on 3 point line. Got it. 2)...

Ditto here. Two cards that worked fine on Z9 with RAW stills and Pro-Res video quickly stop when I attempted test video with the two new formats. As best I can tell there is NO published spec for...

Settling by exchanging patents has been common for decades in semiconductors and in wireless. Few cases go to the mat. An exception is Apple vs Samsung, which included Apple's claim of patents on...

Yup. But I'd guess (lacking a legal expert on this forum) the range of "likely" outcomes is from Nikon has to pay a modest license fee on US units only, based on some fractional value given similar...

Suits tend to gravitate toward deeper pockets. Who is doing the financial damage and how much.

I'm not a lawyer, but I doubt a tiny company like PIX could indemnify a much bigger company such as Nikon. I suspect Nikon was well aware of the possibility and considers it an acceptable risk....

One can patent and can sue for most anything. Remember, Apple sued Samsung in part because Apple has a patent on phones with beveled rectangles. Can't make that up. In one issue regarding, I...

Thanks for sharing these. Quite helpful.

FYI Editor minor typo on flower image, should be "35mm"? "Nikkor Z 24-70mm F2.8 S @ 350mm | F8.0 | 1/60 sec | ISO 64

Good idea. Since audio-to-text transcripts can be done for free these days, that would be a nice addition. Most people, I believe, would accept one with a note that it was unedited will thus have...

Perhaps. But crews doing movies & ads shot on iPhones add a gimble, rig, external mike(s) & often lightening. So, not so stealthy :)

Enjoyed the article. Suggestions for the review Barney Britton. 1) Rate stabilization for hand held shots. Reviews of Z7 etc that I recall cited manufacturer specs while anecdotal evidence claimed...
