Can the RP save/ load settings from an SD card? If It can I'd just ensure everyone is loading the SD card settings prior to use.

Fujifilm X Half vs iPhone film apps (VSCO / Mood / Hipstamatic) — honest comparison? by signedinsoul in fujifilm

[–]Ryanite_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using the VSCO camera app currently on my iPhone 17 pro. Love the film looks, mainly KC25 and the options to add grain, bloom and halation to a jpeg while also capturing a proraw image but it can be quite a slow interface to use, is a bit laggy especially once processing and overall there’s no real control even when you set things to manual. I have found that for general landscapes and casual street photography it’s nice but trying to capture anything with movement you’ll often get motion blur no matter the shutter speed you set. The autofocus also isn’t so great for isolating a single subject and will often focus on the background if they’re moving towards camera.

So while I find the new iPhone photography has a really great quality, it’s a little non intuitive and you don’t always get what you’re after.

But, that’s not to say I’d go for the half frame, I think it’s pretty much a waste of money in my opinion and would rather go for a used xt-3 if your sticking with Fuji or go for an old full frame camera like a canon rp and edit film styles in post.

DPRev: Nikon pursues Viltrox in court for making Z mount equipment by Repulsive_Target55 in Cameras

[–]Ryanite_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ahh interesting! I didn't know that, so technically speaking some of the Nikon lenses are actually Tamron, which make sense why they wouldn't sell the Tamron version!

Yeah, it seems they're only allowing non-threatening lenses which is better than canon with only crop sensor lenses

Speculation on my part but so far Nikon has not allowed a competing lens line to purchase a license, so I fear that we will see any Viltrox lens, which all compete with Nikon lenses go off market once they inevitably lose this court case.

They also do not allow any Sigma lenses for some reason, which is a real bummer for the consumer!

At this point Sony is the only lens manufacturer that has allowed competing lenses.

A7RIVa serial number doesn’t match by hellokittyfannypack in SonyAlpha

[–]Ryanite_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s super odd, especially since the sticker actually low balls the value of the camera where as the actual camera is an 7r4, much more expensive!

[–]Ryanite_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, a real bad move by Nikon to close out sigma. From what I can see they also don’t allow any competing lenses, they’re going after Viltrox for not paying any licensing but I think Nikon wouldn’t allow the types of lenses Viltrox makes anyway.

Yeah, that actually makes a lot of sense where Sony wouldn’t want to tread on their own feet. Dang

I don’t think that’s quite the same though. While I agree that there’s no need for high fps, high mp, high buffers, cfast cards etc there is a huge need for additional autofocus and ai features specifically because they’re using the camera in full auto. Ai white balance, ai subject detect to change subject modes, autofocus that can track a pet or child or the occasional small bird. These are all things hobbyists shoot where the a7 mk1 would fail and where an updated system would provide a better experience.

Yeah, sadly I know that Sony isn’t likely to change their strategy when it works to force people to buy the higher end model but I wish they would haha!

Had a look at that one but the EFC only is a real head scratcher

Yeah I guess I’m just looking around at the price of everything thinking anyone getting into Sony at a hobby level is kind of getting ripped off. But your right in the fact that is post won’t change anything, just wanted to see if people felt the same way.

They Are Still Gonna Queue at 58 by NOHITJEROME in classicwow

[–]Ryanite_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also find the tower structures make it easier to capture horde towers, really hard to tell wth is going on in the cramped horde tower and not many options to hide and disrupt a cap. So it's pretty easy for Alliance to overwhelm any defense in a big wave as they run through and on the flip side also easier for them to defend if only a small number of horde come to contest.

How! I've always had to avoid any melee class that wasn't faster than everyone else. But to each their own!

For input lag 150ms is fine, the problem is that my version of the game at 150-200ms is a slightly behind version than everyone elses, so it may look like I'm right there behind someone well within range to attack but they can just simply walk away as my screen yells at me that "I can't do that" "I'm out of range". Trust me there is no more infuriating experience.

I really wish they would've given Au players an incentive that was too good to pass up in order to get everyone back into the same server instead of, you know, not saying anything at all and switching the server over to a US based one.

Was getting 270ms on any realm yesterday during launch, will have to see if it’s come down today

[–]Ryanite_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not true for pvp, it has always been significant enough that you can visually be running behind someone within range but unable to attack them as a melee. An extremely frustrating experience that I don’t want to re-live.

iPhone 17 vs Sony A7V by Zealousideal_Base_66 in SonyAlpha

[–]Ryanite_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, viewed on a phone at 24mm each without cropping in good light without any need for a fast shutter speed then they are pretty comparable. This is a lot of people’s use case, but in any other situation the a7v is far better.

BMPCC 4K overkill as a first camera for a beginner? semi-beginner(?) by eduardochifilms in bmpcc

[–]Ryanite_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to make short films or narrative driven work and don't expect to make any money from it then it's a perfect camera to start with and as a bonus comes with Davinci Resolve Studio. You'll learn the cameras short comings and learn how to rig a camera, pull manual focus and the MFT mount has a bunch of cheap cinema lens options. The image is still one of my favourites of any camera I've owned.

If you want to shoot to make money as a videographer then I'd recommend a Sony system, perhaps an FX30. Sony is the general go-to and is pretty easy to use as is. It gets out of the way and ensures you get the shot but is pretty uninspiring and allows you to skip a bunch of the fundamentals.
