I very much agree. I was using film regularly in the 90s, slide and negative. None of my photos from that time have wacky colours or random light leaks. I've scanned some of those images recently and they hold up well. Their interest is in the actual subjects they depict and the fact that they were shot on film is merely incidental.
Say your camera was loaded with the reviewed film and something important started happening in front of you, you'd be gutted to be stuck with this shoddy film.

I've used my GP11 on my bike a lot, for long takes, and it has never overheated.

This is a better upgrade than recent rumours suggest. Wireless audio - fantastic! That should allow really good native audio. Double the run time, also fantastic. If they could also have non-crashy s/w that would be wonderful.

Now bring this goodness to a GP12 Mini?

I have a ZV1 m1 and it's an excellent camera for what it is. It's video-oriented and produces excellent 4k video. The dead mouse (not rat!) gives effective reduction of wind noise and looks cute. As a stills camera, the lens is very sharp and the cam makes nice raw files that have some latitude for edits. Further, the image quality for me is more naturally photographic than the over-processed results typically made by smartphones. And why complain about lack of viewfinder, phones don't have them. You can get an RX series camera if you want one, for a lot more money. The ZV1 tho is really not a cam for fiddling about with apertures and shutter speeds. I just leave mine on P.

While it's all change at DPR, can you update your forum s/w so that it recognises and correctly displays links to Youtube Shorts? Vertical video being a thing, and all that.

Btw, congratulations on the site's survival.

I've had the ZV-1 since release and have used it a lot, both video and stills. Interested to see a successor camera ... but disappointed with the specs. A wider lens, whereas I like the mild telephoto on the ZV-1, no 4k60, limited long shutter speed whereas ZV-1 is not at all bad for low light long exposure. Don't think I'll be getting this one.

What are you going to do next Richard?

I've been playing with this the past few days and I really like it. Previously I've found converting colour negs to positives to be somewhat of a pain. This web tool is enjoyable to use for my low volume of conversions. The white and black point buttons allow for coarse adjustments and I can finalise the output image for crop, colour balance, spotting etc in my usual image editor. Colour negatives are quite low contrast, unlike transparencies, and jpeg has sufficient dynamic range to capture them. All in all a big thumbs-up from me.

I have PSE2015 and it does not. It would be useful.

When it comes to rainbows, no, there is not. The centre of a rainbow marks the direction precisely 180 degrees away from the sun. In this image the photographer has positioned the rainbow centrally . Therefore the sun must be coming from exactly behind the photographer, it can't be coming from the side.

The rainbow is centre of the image so the sun has to be exactly behind the photographer as that's how rainbows work, optically.

Okay... It's not like people don't take vertical format still photos, is it.

Vertical video looks great on smartphones, it's the default format for both filming and viewing. That simple fact explains the rise of tik-tok, reels, #short etc. No point in fighting it. I think the format is best suited to short clips, that's certainly how it's used. Long form video will remain landscape.

I have a GoPro H8B. It's capable of great results but it can be flaky. The battery life i can forgive as a technology limitation but a random freeze is maddening. It needs to be more reliable.

There is not a strong case for AF in action cameras. Take note of the word 'action' - action cams are not cosseted ILCs, they're small devices that get fixed to bikes, boats, boards, whatever, and used in rough and wet environments. They need to have no moving parts and be very robust. (Take note of the iphone advisory this week about not fixing them to motorbikes cos the iphone can fail due to vibration.)
