The Nikon Z 24-200 is the best superzoom I’ve ever used. And very lightweight. Nikon has been killing it with smaller zoom lenses - 14-30 which is insanely small and light, 24-50, 24-70/4. All...

Because they can make money being (so far) the only manufacturer of them on the market. And they still support UHS-II SD. But I guarantee the former was the biggest driving factor - now they can...

Yes, but supposedly the original 50S's AF was bottlenecked by the processor, so this should be improved quite a bit from that.

It does not have a global shutter.

I assume it's twice as fast as other RED rolling shutter cameras.

Yes you can absolutely tell.

Field curvature isn’t good either especially if it remains that strong stopped down.

Very weak performance outside the center at every aperture. Really disappointing especially compared to the Nikon Z 24/1.8.

I've been very impressed with Panasonic's S lenses so far so this is a...

Things can no longer simply be good or great. They have to be the best or they suck.

That's true for things beyond cameras and computers. Even films - they're either masterpieces or trash....

@lightandaprayer The current Mac Mini M1's are USB4 - Thunderbolt 4 is USB4 compliant. And actually older Macbooks and Mac Minis have Thunderbolt 4 if you've upgraded to Big Sur. Macs have had TB4...

@Eric Hensel you may DO all of that, but there is no native ecosystem that allows you to do so. You have to build that ecosystem. Also, I have a VERY hard time believing you can do everything...

@SnapHappy32 It's an Asus Vivobook 15. There are several versions of varying prices - only difference is the RAM, CPU, stuff like that. The specific model # of the one I got is F512DA-NH77.

@sirhawkeye64 Yup, SD card use has dropped significantly in the past few years, most full-frame cameras use something else as their main slot, if not both slots.

And I *think* the SD card slot is...

I could also just plug in one of the many USB-C SD card adapters I have... probably would be easy and more sensible. I mostly use CFexpress Type B or CFAST 2.0 cards so honestly that's not even an...

@socialwave The newest AF-P 18-55 is pretty good. The AF-P 10-20 DX lens is really great too.

The Nikon Z 16-50 is another level above the 18-55, though. One of the best kit lenses I have ever...

I totally agree - I always research and also watch youtube videos to ensure it's 1) possible and 2) not supremely damn difficult to where you risk breaking something if you snap a wire or...

Hackintoshes are for people who don't critically rely on their computers for work. I built one once and it was constantly a nightmare. Ended up just putting Windows on it and giving it to my...

It's not just the design of the products themselves, but Mac OS is just leagues superior to Windows in every way for me. I work on Windows laptops for my friends/family and I hate it.

Also, if...

Actually there are a ton of laptops - regular ones, not the super thin Surface Book types - that don't allow RAM or SSD upgrades anymore. Many of them have gone the route of Apple, with soldered...

Kharan is correct about the Nikon 16-50 and Panasonic 12-32 - two of the best kit zooms ever made (I’m excluding high end lenses that may come in a kit but are not typically called kit lenses)....

Philip Forsten is correct that X-Trans truly is a detrimental CFA design in terms of fine, especially very high frequency, detail. It doesn’t matter what RAW conversion you use - detail at base ISO...

The design of the camera is very much a copy of numerous 35mm SLRs of the past like the Miranda Sensorex, Topcon RE Super, etc. Front-mounted shutter release SLRs go all the way back to the 1930s,...
