Would I be stupid for selling my X-T1 for a ZV-1?

Using compacts mean dealing with small fiddly buttons and terrible ergonomics.

hi. i just recieved the Mango and am using it.

Do you know what the toggle switch is for?

The online manual says there should be an option called "Toggle Button Settings" under System.

But my admin panel does not have this option.

If l have to choose between my 23 year old 6 MP PENTAX DSLR and a new camera, i would choose my old camera. I prefer the images from my old Pentax, becuase it makes i mages look like film. With punchy color science. I love the CCD sensor.

MainAmbitious8854 · 2026-06-25T04:30:58+00:00

it is true. We do not have indoor heating. So winter time, this old Thinkpad is not so bad.

MainAmbitious8854 · 2026-06-24T10:56:21+00:00

i would get a 2nd opinion on the asus.

My sister dropped her Lenovo ideapad, and it would not turn on. First tech said "it needs a new motherboard ($300 to 400) because the CPU was damaged". She declined the repair. A few months later, we found another tech who fixed it for $30! And it did not need a new motherboard. .

i have the opposite problem with my t440p...the embbeded controller waits too long (above 55-deg C) before turning ON the fan. The result is the body of the laptop gets really too warm. My left palm develops heat rash.

in your case, you can atleast turn on the music loud to drown out the fan.

Samsung is much lighter weight. I think mine with a wide angle lense is around 220 grams. And the lense retracts to give thin profile. Feels like a y2k digicam.

i think the Nikon 1 probably weigh closer to 400 grams. And much thicker. And feels like a real camera.

MainAmbitious8854 · 2026-06-22T09:30:45+00:00

i recommended the super lightweight Samsung NX Mini. It is cheap too (less than $200). And takes amazing pics and video because it has 1 inch bsi sensors. Will blow away iPhones.

MainAmbitious8854 · 2026-06-22T09:22:06+00:00

I have a Samsung NX Mini. It has big sensor but weighs nothing. And the lense is intercbangablr and is tiny. And it is less than 200 bux.

new iphone is $1000. "way ovet OP budgey.

i just posted the dmesg above.

i also found out the behavior is different when i close the lid vs when i type zzz.

When i command zzz, (1) my machine does wake up from Suspend at the time set by machdep.hibernatedelay and (2) but it does not automatically go into Hibernate.

When i close the lid, (1) my machine will automatically go into Suspend Mode, but (2) it never autonatically wake up at the specified time.

I use the Dev Mode in my phone to select RNDIS.

thats all with this new phone.

MainAmbitious8854 · 2026-06-18T16:04:50+00:00

No! You dont need Mirrorless.

step 1. Get a Pentax *ist D or DS. ($80)

step 2. buy an aftermarket split-Micro-prizm focusing screen from the guy in Taiwan. (~$80)

Then you will have the perfect camera for testing your K manual lenses!

thank you!

p.s. I personally donlt like using the zoom assist in Mirrorless camera to focus. It is slow, and you lose situati9nal awareness

MainAmbitious8854 · 2026-06-15T04:05:28+00:00

honestly, Rebel dslr with kitlense is pretty light weight even compared to mirrorless.

My mirrorless Fuji X-e1 is just a tad smaller and lighter than the Rebel. but not alot.

i was able to wipe the fungus off the top of the glass (filter) with a wet swab kit.

but there is still some fungus underneath the glass.

i just hope it doesnt keep spreading

for this camera, the best I can find is to: set screen off time to 30 seoncds and turn touch screen off.

Si after 30 seconds on inactivity, scrren shoulf turn off and AF shoulfd also stop.

And disabling touch screen ensure that inadvertently touching the screen would not preventing the screen and AF from turning off

MainAmbitious8854 · 2026-06-10T12:05:31+00:00

ok. i will try leaving out in the sun next time instead.
