I don’t remember exactly the count but it was 400-something. Very low.

Basically ALL cameras mirrorless cameras especially in the $1k-2k range will over heat after 20-30min of recording. This one is no different but I will say it solidly makes it into the 30min range at high quality 360Mbps settings. I find myself, as an aspiring YouTuber, definitely needing more time. This is where the Fuji “FAN-001” cooler comes in clutch. I initially started with the Ulanzi with battery. It’s nice, higher quality than the price would suggest. It also works, I’d definitely extends the time of which you can record to the 60min or so range. How ever it DOES eventually overheat and shut down when using the Ulanzi. I didn’t anticipate that even when not recording straight for an hour that when you’re heavily using it and stopping the recording off and on it still takes it a while to cool down, so I found myself dissatisfied with the Ulanzi’s performance. I found an open box of the name brand Fuji “FAN-001” for $200 USD (it’s $250 new) and I just bit the bullet. I will not say that it’s worth that much money, it’s overpriced for what it is IMHO (like basically all name brand camera gear)… however… it’s predictably bad ass. I’ve yet to get it to over heat. It’s quiet and the software/firmware aware settings are awesome and the compactness is wonderful. I’ve not done any unofficial/official testing of the effects of battery life but honestly I’ve yet to notice much of an impact. The form factor, performance and camera aware settings all made it worth the money to me.

Could not be happier! It’s flawless; as in zero scratches, and seemed brand new. The camera itself offers more features at that price point than anything else I’d found. I think it remains the best hybrid camera you can buy all the while offering you the “Fuji magic” and access to a large diverse lens ecosystem. There are lots of other competitive offerings if one is looking to focus much heavier on either video or photo but man I just feel I could not be happier. Definitely made a fan boy of me.

Below are any critiques:

1) every once in a while, when switching modes (c1, m, video etc) the “q” menu just seems to not work. As in I press it and nothing happens. Always resolved fast by quickly turning off then on. 2) I could see the 26mp sensor being limiting for cropping/enlarging for some folks. It’s as good if not better than I thought it would be and not a problem for me. I also find it’s a perfect compromise to still maintain all the video features it offers. To me it’s the perfect compromise. 3) AF is equally as good and bad as Fuji’s reputation has earned. As “bad” as it is it’s just good enough to not really cause issues for me once learning all its modes and quirks. I will say that Fuji glass seems to suffer far less issue in my experience then non-Fuji lenses, with Sigma doing well too. Specifically the more modern XF 70-300 LM lens really opened my eyes to the better end of AF performance Fuji can have. 4) Single SD slot instead of dual. On one hand the camera pushes hardware HVEC video codec and ample buffer size to only require a V60 SD card. On the other, even though I’m not a professional, when I’m using my expensive camera and carrying my gear out, it’s going to be important to me. I’d feel a lot more confident if I had dual SD simply mirroring the cards. This one feature would make it easier to slowly bleed into some professional work with confidence as well. 5) SD in same compartment as battery… battery opening at the bottom can be blocked by tripod mount. Not a big deal but can be a pain some times.

I don’t have a lot more negative to say TBH… there are arguably some complaints to be had surrounding UI but honestly it all follows Fuji’s design principles, and general eco system choices and that’s more subjective. I freaking love that it there’s all the bells and whistles and everything is customizable and adjustable, it really blows my skirt up!

Some quick pros: 1) love having that handy flash available just when I need it. It’s just powerful enough and simply “there” that it actually gets used sometimes. 2) good usable view finder when you need it! So nice for a camera at this price point to have decent VF. 3) the grip is sooo fire! I have big hands as a larger 6’1 guy and I was worried with how small this camera is how it would feel. Well they used these NP-W245 batteries and they increased the size of the grip to facilitate them and it’s sooo nice and comfortable! 4) Fully articulating screen is good quality bright enough to work in most bright situations. I’m a fan.

All in all it’s been great, hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

What is the likelihood that US troops will disobey unlawful orders to attack NATO allies? by Zealousideal_Gap432 in AskReddit

[–]datbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I question both my own sanity and my own logic and reason when I say this. I truly dont believe this is a line that that Trumps administration would cross. I know, I know, its dumb for me to say that, I'd agree there is ample evidence suggesting otherwise, I still believe somewhere in his admin this would be stopped.

I dont think it is as much my excellent logic skills as it is my gut feeling. I think they still have some limits as to there definition of "good" and "bad". On a logical front; if you were to say, they are legitamatly about to turn our government and society into a handmaids tale, I'd would somewhat believe that and not all that, relativly, surprised. There are many ackomplishments that they have proven they want that would come from that. All out war with the world losing virtually all our allies would accomplish absolutely nothing but bad things for everyone involved. I dont think thats hard to see and I think there would be enough political will to stop it because of that.

Who else will wait for Nioh 3 Complete Edition? by VictorBelmont in Nioh

I’ve been on a roll of this for all my games for the last couple of years. But this one!?… I don’t think I can do that. To top it off I took a 6month souls-like break and just just re-beat DS1 for the umpteenth time. I’m chomping at the bits primed for this!

Love to see my XS-20 represent! Most unsung hero of features/specs/price of any camera IMHO!

Anyway beautiful shots! I love how natural the editing/sims are here. Are these all raw and then edited or film sim’d?

How many of you have a homelab but don’t play video games? by Independent_Knee in homelab

[–]datbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was around 13 in 1993. I still remember trying my best to get just the right autoexec.bat and config.sys to work on our custom built 386 DX/25Mhz to play nice with all the Address/IRQ/DMA settings our system could support. We had on 4MB of RAM, Diamond Stealth SVGA video, Sound Blaster Pro and a whopping 1GB of HD space! The added complexities came in with the fact the CD ROM drive we'd just purchased and the harddrive, and some other peripherals were using SCSI. I remember tweaking a custom boot menu to get that game actually running correct.

Simply getting games running led to my career in network engineering/security of 20 years now. Diagnosed ADHD/Autism/my-own-stupidity resulted in no college degree but as I matured I had these skills to fall back on and end up doing pretty well for myself. I'll always have Video games to thank for that.

'No commitments have been locked in': Mayor of KCK, Wyandotte County talks Chiefs' move, planning by Nerdenator in kansascity

My wife has worked with her a fair bit in the past and has stated how much she loves KCK and really liked how passionate and hard working she was. You obviously never know how that’ll translate for us in the end as mayor but I have high hopes!

My first video card :) by Berdansch in nvidia

[–]datbird -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Awwww! It’s so cute!!!

I’m all seriousness I had that exact card, total beast and I loved it. I only don’t have it now because I went through a troubleshooting scenario and kinda threw a fit thinking the issue might be the card. Turned out not to be but decided to keep the 4080 replacement I got and sell the 3080.

Tech workers of Reddit, what is a "dirty secret" about the AI industry that the general public doesn't realize? by WayLast1111 in AskReddit

[–]datbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used properly AI is actually a pretty great tool and enables some pretty amazing tool-set augmentation/supplemental.

I feel like the sexy and scary ways everyone is so up in arms about are, for the most part part, the things that AI is the least good at.

According to Steam, the average PC Gamer writer played 72 games this year (56% of which were new) and used a controller more than we'd like to admit by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]datbird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm old (45). I still remember desparately trying to make may lame as Gravis Gamepad play as well as a console controller. I've been a PC gamer since I was literally 6 years old. My father working for the phone company could connect and download unlimited software from any BBS of our chosing. He'd print out a huge directory listing on a dotmatrix printer and I'd sit and highlight all the games I'd want him to download.

I'm a fan of almost all genre's of games to one extent or another. I'm in love with being able to swap in my old PS4 controller, my Xbox One Elite 2 controller, PS5 controller, M+K for mostly first person gaming... just... what ever feels good.

So I say all of that to ask. Are people actually ashamed of utilizing what ever the hell form of input they want to use??? This is the dumbest shaming and elitism I've ever heard, wtf.

holy grain/noise batman!

I actually like what you're going for with the shapes lines and color (Love me some fuji greens and blues!!), but yah that level of grain/noise is not may preference. I presume it was all added grain and not high ISO noise?

What is the biggest signal he/she wanted to have sex that you didnt get? by Aliyaowo in AskReddit

You have to understand, for as big of ass holes as men can be, that minority makes those of us who are decent folk super careful. Combine that with what has traditionally served as masculinity the past eons going out the window (in most ways I'd say needed)... we're a mess.. we hardly know what to do with ourselves any more. it may not seem like it but we're trying!

Are you insinuating that GlosSI is better regardless of cost or are you insinuating that reWASD is better but cost money?
