Re: SpaceX Starlink available on Qatar Airways

Charbax — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 14:17:19 -0000

To resolve issue of popular sports event streaming, and other popular live broadcast, Qatar Airways might detect those popular events and somehow make 1-stream per event available to multiple users on the plane, so no need to simultaneously stream to each user, just stream once and multi-cast that stream locally on the plane's network. Could be managed by some type of deep packet analysis and a sort of remote common live-stream detection to optimize bandwidth used when that happens, just to make sure the airplane's Starlink bandwidth doesn't get clogged up by multliple passengers live streaming the same live event..

1. Phase Detect AF. With an absolutely perfect follow face + eye-AF mode.
2. Keep Dual SD card slots, no CF stuff unless those are dual SD+CF combo slots like A7Siii
3. Unlimited 4K60 recording, with h265, 10bit 4:2:2 HLG ok!
4. Livestreaming features, up to 4K livestreaming, using Type-C to multi-4G/5G dongles using bonding. Somehow sync and support multi-G9ii/other and any other smartphone camera sources for multi-camera livestreaming. Record to SD cards in 4K60 while live-streaming too.
5. In-camera basic editing (one click add intro/outro, join clips, easily cut parts out), maybe edit UI on phone but process save edits in camera, somehow render/process/save much faster than real-time.
6. Type-C SSD recording & safe backups to easily do 2 safe external copies by Type-C port before clearing internal SD card space. Maybe a Type-C splitter connects 2 SSD/HDD at the same time, and one-click to backup all files to both SSD/HDD and check files before offering to clear SD card space.

I knew something was not right when it said it had Ibis and Sony never does that 😆

How long did it take you to make this up? 😄

Anyone who ever spends more than $3K for a decent second hand car is wasting money! It doesn't matter how much money you make, don't waste it away. There are 100s millions cars sold on the second hand markets that drive perfectly well, just as any new car.

So I'm not a corrupt youtuber that gets paid off $20-40K (via the affiliate links) to preview/review Sony ZV-E1 positively (cause if you're not positive, nobody is going to buy it via your affiliate links), and that means I can't simply point out how it's total garbage?

Yeah that's about how long you can film ugly-30%-cropped 4K60 with your ZV-E1 before it overheats, so good luck.

They're asking for more money than the cost of my car for this gear, I am not angry, I am disappointed, I have been waiting three quarters of a decade for Sony to get it right. These incompetent camera makers force me to stay with my Out of focus Panasonic m43 for now.

No you can't if you use the ZV-E1 all your videos will not be recorded because your garbage camera has overheated within few minutes of starting each video, and I don't even know how many minutes after each overeheating shut downs that you need to wait for your garbage camera to cool down before you can use it again to film the next video. What a joke!!!

What experience do I need to have, the data is right there!! Cropping in on those lenses, cropping in on that 12 megapixel sensor, is completely insane!! What a total waste!!

Charbax — Fri, 31 Mar 2023 21:56:10 -0000

What's 30% crop on that 20mm wide? The crop for this dynamic active stabilization ruins the benefits of lenses, and it ruins the sensor, by upscaling a lower resolution from that crop on the sensor. it just makes zero sense!!

Panasonic IBIS is good, Olympus IBIS is good. Sony IBIS is total garbage, worst is they want to crop in 30% on your expensive sensor/lenses just to give you this fake IBIS garbage.

I have more experience than you. 😁😁 7500 videos in 18 years with 90 million views on youtube. What do you got?

Here's my thoughts on this camera
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
- Overheats 4K60 in 5 minutes according to reviews!
- 1 SD card slot is unusable if you care about your footage!
- 30% crop IBIS is a JOKE!! Why pay so much for a full frame if you can't use the full frame IBIS uncropped?

Re: One more leaked image of the new Sony ZV-E1: No EVF and similar ZV-E10 layout

Charbax — Mon, 27 Mar 2023 14:24:26 -0000

1. So you can't record 4K60 uncropped more than 10 minutes without it overheating?
2. You can't stabilise it internally you have to use a giant gimbal externally?
3. You can't backup record to a second SD card?
4. It won't be sold below $2K?
5. No full sized HDMI?
Just checking here, I hope to be wrong on all five.

Re: UPDATE: Sony ZV-E1 announcement confirmed on March 29

Charbax — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 09:30:22 -0000

Please alpharumor:
- Does it overheat?
- Crappy/No IBIS stabbe?
- Single SD card slot?
- Costs much more than $2K?
- Why should I buy it?

Re: Sony will announce a new ZV Full Frame E-mount camera by end of March!

I can't consider post stabilizing digitally, I need my videos perfectly stabilized out of camera. I mostly film at 24mm FF equivalent (12mm on m43). I don't feel like ultra widing my lenses on FF just to have a passable stabilization, I don't want to spend $5000+ on a full frame camera and not be allowed to use that full frame. Much rather stay on my sub-$1000 perfectly 12mm stabilized m43 system.

Everybody needs a good camera. If they, at Sony, keep thinking that iphones are good enough for the mass market, then sure there's no need for them to reduce pricing. I think if they sell this camera with $500 profit per camera ($1000 sales price with $500 manufacturing price) they'll sell 100 times more cameras than with $2000 profit per camera ($3500 sale price with $1500 manufacturing price). Manufacturing price gets much reduced with scale. My suggestion means 10 million cameras sold with $5 Billion profit. Vs their current marketing that sells 100 thousand cameras with a $200 Million profit. Their current marketing strategy barely covers their R&D/service/distribution/advertising cost.

Well depends how bad the supply chain issues are. I think the camera market will only avoid bankruptcy by aiming to sell with smaller profit margins to a much larger mass market, not artificially limiting themselves to few customers as they have..

Charbax — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 11:37:37 -0000

If you make me the boss of Sony Cameras, I'd go for massively increasing volume at lower profit margins, to dominate the market, even to educate mass market global consumers to use these instead of smartphones, especially for video, instead of staying at selling hugely overpriced high profit margin cameras to small number of people..

If they don't include perfect IBIS, they shouldn't market it to vlogging. 😁

Charbax — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 11:34:59 -0000

Of what I have seen, my G9 IBIS is so far superior to A7Siii, to me the IBIS and high price are only negatives to A7Siii... the idea of using Sony's Active Stabilizing to crop in when investing so many thousands of dollars into a new FF camera system, it's just no buy. I won't go "Full Frame" if they don't let me use the Full Frame fully internally stabilized.

Re: Sony will announce a new ZV Full Frame E-mount camera by end of March!

Charbax — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 11:34:05 -0000

Why not? cameras cost $500 to manufacture, they can "simply" sell a million of these to dominate the YouTuber/Tiktoker/Instagrammer market, and even at half price of A7Siii, they'd be making 10x more profit like that. 😜

Yeah cause video-bloggers hate to film stabilized videos in focus, for sure they don't need that :)

Re: Sony will announce a new ZV Full Frame E-mount camera by end of March!

I want
- Panasonic level IBIS performance (perfectly smooth IBIS 4K60/120 features with no crop)
- half price of a7SIII
- dual SD + CFexpress Type A card slots
- Type-C to SSD/HDD recording/backup (one click verified dual SD backup to Type-C SSD+HDD before clearing SD space)
- Up to 4K Streaming and in-camera lossless/fast 4K60 editing
- Type-C to dual SIM cards (for example in some little adapter thing, or dual USB modems via Hub) for 5G+5G bonding when live-streaming directly from camera to YouTube perhaps via Speedify
- Integrate multi-camera local or remote in live-streams, overlay click to YouTube chat messages during live-stream, perhaps control all that from an app in any phone/tablet mounted on top of camera
- Built-in good wireless dual/triple mic receiver
- Digital shotgun mount for new shotgun mic that doubles as double wireless mic receiver with built-in mixer controls on the back
