The parallel relationship of the cost of gear and wages using that gear... When we do get the 🎵 "perfect camera" it will be for pro bono work! :)

Yes, long term care is the boogey man. It is a total unknown cost in an industry that has no problem beating the rate of inflation. I just read some figures that the average cost of skilled care is $115,000 a year. It is tough to save for that knowing that in 10-20 years it will be much...

Totally agree, the matching domain has been a must for the last 20 years.

Yes. We have a dentist that offers an in-house insurance plan. It is pretty nice unless you need to go to a dental surgeon or get an implant. But their services are still expensive.

Glad you found a path. In my view, the name holds a place of importance but in the end, if you do exceptional work, you will be hired. Pick something personal and sort of descriptive with forward motion and run with it.

Great work as always! The camera sensors + processing just gets better and better. I think one day in the future, the "film look" will be surpassed/replaced.

Looks very nice and Filippo is quite talented.

I am happy with the A7iv & A7sIII and decided to not look at the A7V. But if Sony incorporates the nice aspects of this new FX5 in an A7VI, I would be interested in selling my older generation cameras and buying the new generation. This would be a few years from now no doubt.

In some ways, the FX5 is looking to me like the camera so many were wanting in the past. Great DR, internal raw, easy audio etc... for $5,000. I wonder if they will make a hybrid version of it like the A7sIII. The A7iv/sIII has been very nice for me but the idea of better + GAS is tough to...

I think it is amazing that they can go back and add autofocus. I do not think they "withheld" this on purpose, but I may be wrong.

Luckily, I am doing fine with my available storage but I can see the trend being what Peter stated - fewer backups! This might be a good time to explore archive codec options and go with a lower sized format? Since the consumer lines at these manufacturers have been shuttered or redirected, I...

I have not seen the large increase but do notice the incremental increase every year is like clockwork! More than my rates :) I also have The Hartford and did have a camera replaced about 6 years ago. It seems the equipment schedule is less important to them compared to the liability. I...

I don't think it is you, it is just the world we live in. Feeling old now but it just seems like nobody gives a **** about discussing very much anymore. Too busy, limited expertise or just not interested. It has been my experience that we all learn a lot more when we discuss things in a forum...

Thanks for sharing!

Hello, I am a long time Panasonic video camera owner that is lamenting that they moved to LANC in 2019. While the LANC protocol works fine for zoom control, we lost the separate IRIS control port on the cameras. I use the small little Varizoom IRIS controllers mounted under my zoom controller...

Wow, that is crazy. Kind of changes the dynamic. If one leans towards video this would be a great choice over a mirrorless unless you needed gimbal. But why not get both? Go for a cheaper mirrorless.

Is that on Ebay or from a dealer? I have heard of $1,000 C300's which is pretty crazy even if it is a mark I

Morgan, I think I misdiagnosed you. You are searching for the mythical perfect camera that is always in the next generation. Like the funny Canadian YouTuber. I feel your pain. The 'makers' just fall short in a lot of areas. It appears you need more than one camera and to rent per different...

Morgan you do have some sort of gear syndrome. The search for perfection on a restricted budget. :) Sure to cause anxiety. I have been pleasantly surprised by Sony's color science in the A7iv & A7sIII. Especially if you are shooting LOG. Sony also has that 18-110mm F4 power zoom that is...

Sounds like a good solution.
