The Name is Bond

The 4k video samples down to give better colour resolution when rendered to 1080. Most video streams are at 4:2:0 which is missing a lot of colour resolution. I think 4k 4:2:0 renders down to 1080...

AV1 is already in hardware decoders on sale. Soon in many phones I am sure. It's also being streamed already for netflix.

VVC is a year away or more from all that.

I'm a big reader, and whined at the vid content a while back, clunky presenters etc. Well, I never thought I'd say it but I'm waiting for the video first. haha! Nevertheless...

I'll be back.

Er,...

Japan Inc. is a criticism of Japanese business/economics. Not the whole of Japan and their culture. And which is also clear from the content of his post, which is to complain that they are...

@Mk7, how is that 'white supremacist'? In this day and age that is a very serious accusation, but other than by a extraordinary leap of presumption, I see nothing supremacist, let alone racist, in...

I found white mold, just as with lenses, spidering its way across my sensor once, applied Hydrogen peroxide 6%, cleaned off some residue and gave it enough time to be definitely dry, and it was...

headshots please

oh, the link never appeared. Search for "Meyer Optik Görlitz trioplan snails"

For all those not understanding this lens, I would have agreed as a bokeh nut looking for backgrounds that don't distract etc etc etc for my portraits etc etc etc, until I saw someone's work using...

What a bizarre thing to say. there's just a little bit of glass and metal. Meanwhile, as pointlessness goes, this lens does produce a unique effect that while it's generally not a good idea for...

@FrancoD, I don't think so. This was a known issue. the above comments merely reflect people who can't imagine how you could get it wrong and that black-n-white logic of 'commonsense', but there's...

@Oiche, it was well known. Happy for you that you were never affected.

"Back open. Load the film, press the shutter, actuate the film advance lever one time -- WITH THE BACK OPEN. Looks good?"

Yes, I would do all that. Unhappily the ME Super can still trick you. It's...

Pentax ME Super is a lovely camera but it has a known weakness that bit me twice, badly.

Sometimes it can fool you into thinking the film got successfully picked up when it did not. I lent it to...

A youtube channel did a blind test on their viewers. Pre-blind test the voted winners where the usual suspects with Sony trailing last. Everyone knows sony has the worst colours.

Post-blind test,...

Wow! You got a great deal. For sure that's a sweet camera and I would personally consider the ZV1 a downgrade. I'm pretty sure that the sensor is so good that even at f2.8 you're going to be happy...

The rx100vii is superiour to the ZV1. The ZV1 saves you significant money if you don't need the extras and photography-oriented design of the rx100.

Even with extensive vlogging/selfie-videoing, I...

Sure, but only by 1 degree off. That wouldn't stop me buying.

Half-baked. But a decent enough first try all things considered.

great review thanks
