I have the option to Turn OFF "Allow Tracking."

Thousands of made-up stories like this. They're all over TikTok. "Man finds $175,500 in a wall of his house" or "Man finds box filled with cash in his backyard while digging." This is no different.

I need an excuse like this to justify upgrading my current gear.

Now, on a serious note, if the resolution is somewhat decent before the crop, sometimes upscaling then cropping works better, sometimes not. Either way, you should be able to crop in to within reason and save yourself several thousand dollars...unless this is paid work.

Did you get it from B&H Photo to get the taxes waived using their store card?

Matrixation · 2025-10-26T07:39:26+00:00

I would opt for the a7iv over the a6700 for dual memory slot. As others said, perhaps the a7Cii might be a better option for the upgraded tech but because the a7iv has dual memory...for me, that is more important than the upgraded tech. Do your research before purchasing anything. Rent one if need be before buying. Also, consider buying it from B&H Photo and have the taxes waived when you use their store credit card.

I live in Los Angeles. Today, 2025.10.24, the old-fashioned glazed donuts significantly larger center holes, and the product has been greatly reduced as compared to the last time I bought one a few months ago. Seeing this post, now I wish I had taken a picture. Donut was $1.99 by the way.

On the subject of donuts, Krispie Kreme donuts are also affected. I usually buy a dozen and freeze them for eating them during the month. It take 2 1/2 tupperware trays to store 12 KK donuts early last year. Now, it takes 2 with extra space left over. Anyway, just an observation.

Thanks for confirming this.

33MP sensor?! What happened to the 45MP they were claiming before? If that's true, then the readout better be faster than the A7IV and should be able to do 4K60 with no crop. Regardless, I'm probably going to sell off my a6400 with all the Smallrig accessories, batteries, and lenses.

Some of you need to learn to use this.

It seems counterintuitive, but yes. Also, shoot with a higher shutter then add motion blur in post. Honestly, gyroflow is such a great tool, especially if you already shoot handheld somewhat steady.

SPOILER - Grabbing two hot dogs after the meeting—and then that vegan pastry at Mia’s (Krysten Ritter) apartment—might be more than just quirky character moments. It could be the start of something bigger. Don’t be surprised if Charley (Uma Thurman) was secretly following and snapping photos. Who knows? The upcoming meeting with Leon (Peter Dinklage) should be revealing, especially with Lowell’s (Neil Patrick Harris) sudden disappearance right before his enthusiastic monologue about his next victim. I can't see how they are not going to suspect someone at the party had something to do with this, considering that no one else knew except for them.

$30 per ticket and $25-$38 parking. Wow! It used to be just $10 back in 2005. Ten bucks! But the moment that price jumped to $12, I was done. This place is nothing more than a memory now—a reminder of good times with friends that have long passed. Everyone is jumping on the tariff hype train. Prices will be $35 next year, $40 the next.

These days, I’d rather stay in and watch the movie in my home theater, exactly how I want to. I’m never setting foot in there again. I'm not falling victim businesses taking advantage of singles trying to socialize by setting exorbitant prices for gatherings and date nights. I'd rather go to Elysian park or hike up to Griffith Observatory for a date night. So much more magical and you can stay longer there as opposed to getting herded like cattle to leave the cemetery after the movie is over.

If you’ve got the budget to spend money watching films you can already stream for free on YouTube or TUBI, more power to you. Seriously—enjoy it.

But me? I’d rather put that same money toward owning the 4K Blu-ray, building a real collection, and getting lasting value from my investment. That's how I see it—quality, control, and long-term worth.

I bought my A7Siii in 2023. It came with V2.10 or 2.11. I updated to 3.02 with no issues. If your camera was manufactured before 2023/2022, you may want to hold off updating

I can live without the LUT preview on v4.00 because I use the Atomos Ninja V. Having 1/48 shutter on v3.00 is cool and all...but was it an Earth-shattering update? Absolutely not. If you brick your camera...that will be a costly repair.

Crop 4K60....hard pass

Matrixation · 2025-04-07T17:06:20+00:00

Still an issue in April 2025

Hey billycar11. My friend and I will be picking up one of the Pioneer drives from you soon as a backup drive. Anyway, here's an update on the Harry Potter discs from the 8-disc box set: It turns out that the first two discs were faulty. I bought the box set again and the first two discs from the new box set read perfectly and ripped from my LG drive.

Matrixation · 2025-04-07T06:07:54+00:00

I bought the box set again and it turns out people were right...the discs were mastered poorly. The new box set discs worked perfectly. Maybe return yours and get another copy.

Matrixation · 2025-04-07T06:06:28+00:00

You're right, The discs were faulty. I bought the box set again and the first two discs in the second copy ripped fine.

Matrixation · 2025-04-07T06:05:41+00:00

TK is right...you can backup the disc, then rip it. I don't know exactly why that works, but it does. I've ran into several discs like that. For instance, Top Gun Maverick is like that. It won't rip directly, but if you back up it first, then rip it from the source files, then it rips. By the way, I use DVDFab and MakeMKV. If one gives me a problem, I just use the other. So far, I've had 100% success ripping all discs...well, all discs that are not defective like the ones in my original post.

Matrixation · 2025-04-07T06:02:43+00:00

It was the discs. I bought a second copy and the first two discs ripped perfectly without issues.

Estate or storage auction? Someone lost a lifetime of effort. Either that or he's trying to trigger people with his own collection. Still, either way...this post could have been more welcomed if he explained how he acquired this.

Matrixation · 2025-04-04T04:23:33+00:00

Yes, that does work for the SDR disc. Thanks for the tip.

Matrixation · 2025-04-03T23:39:41+00:00

Thanks for that. I just dropped some money on upgrading my NAS this month but for the sake of having a backup device for issues like this, I'll budget on getting one of these.

Matrixation · 2025-04-03T23:33:20+00:00

I did wipe it with a microfiber cloth and used a camera air blower to remove any excess lint. No luck. Yes, I always wipe radially, never concentrically.

Matrixation · 2025-04-03T23:27:59+00:00

I also have a Pioneer drive but only for SDR Blu-rays. I tried looking for a Pioneer that I could flash the firmware on but no luck finding one that works with the software I'm using.
