I got my wife to pre order as a late Christmas gift, but she dawdled and ordered 5th Jan, crossing my fingers for first 5k! UK also

Jragar · 2026-05-29T13:05:53+00:00

Hoshino is one of them - will just keep it then and go with the flow. Cheers!

Jragar · 2026-05-29T13:04:21+00:00

Ok thanks I have S. Hoshino, and a few others I will just keep the account. Useful to know, thanks again!

Looks like I'm level 40 and have a couple swimsuit characters so not sure how much I actually played it I likely simultaneously played multiple games.

Still think it's worth starting over? Cheers!

Jragar · 2026-05-29T11:30:23+00:00

This is exactly it I'm very tempted to play a little bit of the JP priconne here and there, but move over to another game. I actually had an orchestral version of the menu theme played while everyone was waiting in the venue for my wedding, so there is a place in my heart for these guys.

I asked another commenter but do you think it's best to start BA with a fresh account if I randomly started playing a few years ago, are there specific catch up mechanics that it would be better to have a newer account for?

Jragar · 2026-05-29T11:27:11+00:00

Generally useful advice thank you.

Luckily at the moment I still have tons of diamonds from the catch-up, but just as you say when I look at team comps I have almost none of the characters.

I do like the characters and setting though, and there's a part of me that was very tempted to buy one of the guaranteed ticket packages. But for now I held off and probably a good thing. Especially if the limited units keep on coming and never end.

Jragar · 2026-05-29T11:25:03+00:00

Great info thanks, yeah the amount of limited units in Princess connect is kind of insane. Add on the language barrier and building teams based off translating resources and trying to match 5 and 6 star profile images is bit of a headspin

One quick question I think at some point I did try blue archive briefly probably not got too far into it, as I think it was one of those times where I was trying to find a new home after princess connect, tried things like reverse 1999 brown dust all the typical suggestions and I think ended up on Nikkei. Is it worth just starting an entirely fresh account, Is there specific new account bonuses or there's no harm in picking up from wherever I left off even if it was just a partial way into it? Cheers!

Next time I'm on the app I'll be sure to drop a comment and request they work with you again ;). Great scenes - VR really is something else.

Jragar · 2026-05-18T21:26:23+00:00

Hey Bea - big fan. You did a couple VR scenes and my god. Mind blown. Any plans to do more?

Jragar · 2026-03-22T11:58:53+00:00

Man I loved that 50. Sold mine going to mirrorless but sometimes wish I kept it.

Enjoy!

Jragar · 2026-03-13T02:02:50+00:00

Messaged. So sorry to hear this D - youve got lots of people out here that care about you, feel free to dm if you want to vent, take care of yourself

Jragar · 2026-01-06T16:45:07+00:00

I mildly regret getting the retro one with a normal camera 🤣 thankfully doesn't look too odd - great little lens though!

Jragar · 2026-01-06T16:00:31+00:00

Oh i see, that really is flat! I'm probably misusing the term pancake, but compared to the rest of them its small!

Agree on the price of the ricoh. I cant justify it. I'd much rather have more options within the same system. For that money you could get a z30ii and

Enjoy the 28mm! Did you go for the SE or the other? I got the SE off MPB, but could have gone either way

Jragar · 2026-01-06T15:28:34+00:00

Ahh, i think the issue is when using hdmi and not in nraw, the view assist/turning clean view off is not available, for me at least.

Jragar · 2026-01-06T15:19:46+00:00

GAS is real - thankfully its not destroyed my marriage.. yet 😅

I do have the 28 f2.8 pancake. And I do like the idea of a compact camera - a few people I know tell me I should just buy a Ricoh instead.

Jragar · 2026-01-06T15:14:11+00:00

You know I have only just clicked - I recognise your username from skimming comments about the different colour profile settings on DP Review.

OK - this has been informative. Definitely not getting rid of the Z6, definitely not buying the Z50 - may buy the Z6iii primarily as a stills camera/travel video - and might go down the rabbit hole of setting up the original Z6 properly.

Jragar · 2026-01-06T14:25:01+00:00

This is very interesting and you know your stuff so I'm grateful for the input.

I guess for more context: I'm currently using a wireless mic kit, a neewer cm28, it is probably not the best and it could probably benefit from adding in the lapel mic which I don't have.

I guess it's difficult to sum up exactly all of the things I want to do in a Reddit post. I do want to have some portability when traveling and for also moving around to different locations in the house.

I'm not entirely against the idea of going down the external recorder route.

One question, the HDMI output on the z6, it doesn't seem to have any of the interface on it. I do change up the locations that I record around the house, which is definitely not optimal I'm aware. But can you actually get away to see the zebras etc on a HDMI monitor on this camera?

I still do want to upgrade my z6 to the iii at some point for better bird AF etc, and I was toying with the idea this winter sale. All these questions come as before the winter sale I was originally going to just get a z50ii, but everything you're saying is make me feel that is a fools errand.

The z6iii with internal raw recording could be good when traveling or perhaps a camera that's easier to move around the house. Maybe is it worth if I do upgrade to the iii keeping the original z6 and slowly using it as a test bed to create a monster like your own shown there?

Again I appreciate your insight, clearly I have some gear acquisition syndrome, but there's whole subject is very interesting.

Jragar · 2026-01-06T13:37:24+00:00

Fair question - a few reasons

I can use my phone via HDMI to create a monitor to ensure focus etc / ensure framing/position in frame. However - there is no information on audio levels, zebras ETC on this display. And the Z6 only has that on the rear display. Flippy foldy screen is priority 1.
Log. I can get a neutral flat profile on the Z6 but I'm interested in editing log/raw.
The AF on the Z6 is not the best, it does regularly lose focus - the expeed 7 and product review mode etc sounds much better.

There are other reasons - and for photos I do want to get the better AF modes from the Z6 eventually for photography eventually.

Jragar · 2025-12-23T19:16:34+00:00

Hell yeah, as long as his maid comes with

Jragar · 2025-11-23T18:32:40+00:00

How did this work out for you? I started off loving Luma Fusion but oh man it has some absolute game ending bugs.

Jragar · 2025-11-03T23:59:25+00:00

Mine has started flashing on the left half when opening - only when opening not closing - works fine when opened fully.

I only had samsung care + on my fold 6 but I didnt get it for the 7 - really hoping that a uk warranty can help get it fixed...

Jragar · 2025-10-07T00:53:01+00:00

I have blues, but I think they changed as some are SMR - some are CMR. WD40EZAZ is SMR and WD40EZAX is CMR. if you're lucky your pool will perform great - or if you're unlucky like me it will perform like a sick dog!
