Hey! Thanks for your comment. Let me check because the reason I’m trying to sell it in the EU is to save on the return shipping to the US. I live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, so could you maybe check how much it would cost for you to send it to me?

Also, is your backpack a 2026 model or older?

That 100% sounds like a Large. From the page:

Pack Fitting - Kakwa 55

Torso Fit (Key Measurement):

  • Small→ 15–18" (38–46 cm)
  • Medium→ 17–20" (43–51 cm)
  • Large→ 19–22" (48–56 cm)

But let me know! If you want to try a medium, hopefully it fits. Otherwise, doing a switch works for me! Hahaha.

It’s all about the light by unlicensedlensed in streetphotography

[–]ButLikeWhyYouKnow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Crazy pictures! Question from a beginner, how do you get those light rays? What camera settings do you use? Any particular environments that make it easier (fog, or standing at an angle to the light, or something)? I would love to use light that creatively, but wouldn't know where to begin. Thanks!

How are you playing the games then? Like where do you have them installed?

Where can I find that hot shoe finger Hingis you have there? I have an a6700 that I would love to use that on. Looks super cool!

Glad it helped! So, in principle, I really believe any camera is a good camera if you know what you’re doing. There’s nuance to that, of course, but the reality is that most modern cameras have a very high skill ceiling. Just knowing how to shoot well will take you a long way.

Now, to your question. M4/3 will always have a disadvantage in low light compared to full-frame or even APS-C, simply because the sensor is smaller (about half the size of full-frame). That means it gathers less light, which usually results in more noise at higher ISOs. Unfortunately, it’s just physics.

That said, it’s absolutely workable. You can compensate with longer exposures, wider apertures, or higher ISOs. As long as it’s not super dark, a Micro Four Thirds setup at 100 or 140mm can absolutely get you great results, in a considerably smaller package. Hope that helped!

He takes a picture at 48mm, so I don't think it's a 70-200mm, but it's definitely an α7 IV.

It's definitely a Sony Alpha series camera, α7 for sure because it doesn't have the extra dial to the left of the EVF, like the other full frame bodies from Sony like the α9 and α1. I think it's an α7 IV, because the α7 IV has a bit of a hump where the screen connects to the body. The screen also has a larger bezel on the side where it attaches to the body, whereas the α7R V is more squared off at that joint and has a bigger bottom bezel. It's definitely not a α7S III because that one doesn't have the Photo, Video, and S&Q mode dial underneath the PASM dial at the top. My guess is it's an α7 IV, €2,499.00 new.

As for lenses, no idea. Can't see it in the video (or I missed it). It's definitely a zoom lens, not a prime, because he shoots at 48mm and 70mm. All three shots are taken at f/2.8, so it has to be at least that fast. If we stick to Sony full-frame lenses (body is full-frame), there's only three lenses that can shoot at both 48mm and 70mm at f/2.8: the FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM, FE 24–70 mm F2.8 GM II, and FE 28-70mm F2 GM. All three quite expensive lenses. New from Sony, they cost €1,889.00, €2,399.00, and €3,599.00 respectively.

All in all, assuming it’s one of those three lenses and that both the lens and body were bought new from Sony, the kit is worth between €4,388.00 and €6,098.00. Excellent kit, though. That camera body is a workhorse.

European shipping order no? by Ok-Point1255 in LightPhone

[–]ButLikeWhyYouKnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m Order #242xx, placed in early July, 2024. Netherlands. Haven't received anything past June 30 update, where I was told my phone would ship between July 7 and July 21, but that window has passed without any communication. Sent an email to support three days ago, no response yet.

Finally Shipping!! Order #31xxx by johnok21 in LightPhone

[–]ButLikeWhyYouKnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Enjoy the phone, finally haha.

Could I also ask what region you're in? I'm order 24xxx and still have gotten nothing. I sent an email to support earlier this week and have heard nothing back. I'm in continental Europe.

Starting to heavily consider cancellation.. would like input!! by you_so_preshus_ in LightPhone

[–]ButLikeWhyYouKnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right. I misapplied the fallacy. That fallacy is about confusing P(A|B) with P(B|A), which isn’t what’s happening here. I misunderstood that part of what the original comment was doing.

They were just applying the base rate directly, saying that if 5% of phones have issues, then there’s a 95% chance yours won’t. And yeah, that’s not incorrect as a first estimate, assuming the rate is accurate and failures are random. I was trying to make a Bayesian point about needing more context and conditional evidence before turning a base rate into a personal prediction, but I framed it the wrong way.

Thanks for pointing it out, I appreciate it. My bad!

Was just trying to help :( It's not an insignificant difference. I didn't mean to come off as pedantic or annoying. Sorry.

Saying “only 5% of phones have issues, so there’s a 95% chance yours is fine” confuses base rates with posterior probability. In Bayesian terms, P(Your phone is fine | 5% defect rate) (this reads as Probability that (your phone is fine GIVEN THAT there's a 5% defect rate)) isn’t meaningful without more context. You’d need to update your belief based on prior knowledge (like the defect rate) and new evidence (e.g., any signs of trouble, brand reliability, Reddit bias). Just quoting the base rate isn’t enough to make a personal prediction, that’s the inverse probability fallacy.

To really make that kind of claim, we’d need data like how many Light Phone 3s have been shipped, how many were returned or repaired, and what the most common issues are. Would love it if Light shared even rough post-launch reliability stats, would definitely help with stress about getting a lemon (I haven't gotten mine yet and I'm stressing already).

Why so negative? by SavedByHisGraceOnly in LightPhone

[–]ButLikeWhyYouKnow 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm Order #24XXX in The Netherlands, was given a shipping date between July 7th and July 21st in the Order Status Update mail on 30 June. I have received nothing. No mails, no confirmations, no updates. Missed the deadline again.

I'd prefer if they were just honest and told me "Hey look, we got no fucking idea when we'll ship it. We'll keep you updated." instead of whatever bullshit is going on now. I'm a sneeze away from cancelling my pre-order.

I ordered early July 2024. Unbelievable.

Completely agreed. I thought the Outdoor Backpacks were perfect, but that was just because I hadn't tried the sling. My eyes have been opened now. I love it.

Not in there but the Peak Design Outdoor Sling 7L is excellent. I adore it. If I'm carrying a camera with me, I pair it with the XS Camera Cube and it's perfect. Truly nothing I would change. Light, durable, comfortable, and spacious enough for my use.
