As I say, I'm enjoying it so far, and it's a shame there won't be a Light 2.0. AFAIK, the firm have since got into the cameras used in smart cars.<br /><br />As to the cash, I find that after the first couple of million it just gets boring... ;)<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-55350398717109384412021-01-17T19:32:53.687+00:002021-01-17T19:32:53.687+00:00Oh, and you'd better get to work on that Youtu...Oh, and you'd better get to work on that Youtube tutorial. Although today's NYTimes reports you can make MILLIONS on Snapchat. Probably not if you're over 20 years old, though.Kent Wileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440197819258194471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-39198250309997578672021-01-17T19:28:00.662+00:002021-01-17T19:28:00.662+00:00Cool.

It was something of a shock when an actual production model appeared. The last I heard, they had "pivoted" to some kind of cinema camera device going for multiple $10K's.<br /><br />Definitely keep us in the loop about what you find. I suspect online jpg's will never make the device's capabilities shine, but would love to see you prove me wrong.Kent Wileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440197819258194471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-82669496711863534412021-01-16T10:26:59.894+00:002021-01-16T10:26:59.894+00:00amolitor,

I also like the quality of the resulting images so far, which is, after all, the point. Covid and weather permitting, I need to give it some proper comparative outings with, say, the Fuji X-T1. Hey, look at me doing camera blogging!<br /><br />It has some obvious issues. Battery life is more phone-like than camera-like, although having realised there was not a lot of point in having Bluetooth or WiFi turned on (updates? What updates?) the battery life seems a lot better now than it did initially. It's noisy in very low light. I wish they'd put strap attachments on both sides so you could hang it round your neck. Etc.<br /><br />My biggest discovery is that you can choose to export 13 Mpixel DNG files, as well as or instead of those massive 52 Mpixel files -- I'm much more comfortable with the smaller files, and so is my computer.<br /><br />If you shop around (eBay, used camera sellers, etc.) you should be able to find one for between £400-500, which doesn't seem unreasonable. Mine has the rubber "bumper" accessory which makes handling much more secure.<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-25032481749218604852021-01-16T03:49:29.762+00:002021-01-16T03:49:29.762+00:00I am intrigued!

I also found the concept fascinating, and still consider this to be The Future (which as you intimate seems to already be arriving, but mostly people are not noticing)<br /><br />Please do keep us updated. I always felt that there was a lot of prejudice in the reviews based on little more than "it looks weird and everyone knows no phone can equal my DSLR!!!"<br /><br />Now I can prove it! Or, well, technically you can. At least testify. I hope to find out if I was right, or wrong!<br />amolitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743439184763617516noreply@blogger.com
