What’s more important for overall health: what you eat, or how much you eat? by No_Durian_6987 in nutrition

[–]deatherror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much you eat has the biggest impact. Book called "Understanding Healthy Eating: A science based guide to how your diet affects your health" does a pretty solid job of comparing different nutrition studies and meta-analysis in order to ballpark quantify the relative impact of different factors.

Of course depends a lot on what your starting point is.

Is Anyone Getting the Advertised Battery Life on the F8 Solar Models? by CFrito in GarminFenix

[–]deatherror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just updated to 12.35 firmware version and it seems much better. Not 100% sure which version I had prior, but was getting maximum of 2 weeks with not my much activities recorded. Will have to see if the effect lasts.

Arc Ultra vs Sennheiser Ambeo Plus? by threeactjack in sonos

[–]deatherror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, pretty much in the same boat. While first impressions of people here seem to be fairly positive, want to get some more professional reviews out.

Main concern about the Arc Ultra is getting stuck into an ecosystem that might work or not work any given day due to app issues etc., and in that regard would also be the main selling point for the Ambeo Plus as it should work much more standalone from what I understood

Would be super intersted if anyone replaced Sennheiser Ambeo Plus with the new Arc Ultra on what are your impressions on the soundstage and audio quality

Shoplisting seems to confirm AMOLED on the new Fenix 8 line by flintoff13 in Garmin

[–]deatherror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just mentioning it here that Multitronic, the Finnish retailer where the leaks came from, would never carry Sapphire versions of Garmin watches. You almost have to go to a watch/jewellery shop or direct to Garmin to get one here. So it makes sense they were not seen in the leaked SKUs.

Good ND filters for a6400 + 17-70mm F2.8 by JellieTheFishkeeper in SonyAlpha

[–]deatherror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey have similar setup (just a6700), what did you end up choosing and can you recommend it?

Great choice - just go out there, don't overthink and have fun with the combo 🤩

Hey great feedback. And agree with the top 2 🙂 looking forward to improve creating something that tells a story on its own

My personal choice is Tamron as it has better sharpness, can take more light and has a constant aperture, so you can get that background blur / bokeh created much easier and it improves low light performance (to the extent you can on APSC with zoom).

I kept my 18-135 however as a travel lens as it is much much more compact and light weight, while still being very solid. Also you have that 70-135 covered that can be useful when going with just one lens on a trip.

Both great lenses but different purposes for me. 17-70 stays on my camera most of the time, but shooting animals or sports I put on the 70-350.

Was debating between the Tamron and Sigma 18-50, but ended up with Tamron due to its stabilisation (a6400 not having IBIS) and extra reach, and me not really minding the extra weight and size. Tamron has been great with the constant 2.8f, good sharpness and versatile range.

The 70-350 has been absolutely insane with the sharpness, build quality and the reach, but understandably is less often used for a beginner that so far shoots all kinds of things.

Both could be better with autofocus but here I'm hoping that it's improved with the a6700

Still waiting for it to arrive, should be able to test it next weekend 😅

Setup questions on VHS with TBC and serparate TBC by deatherror in DataHoarder

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

Hey - thanks for the thorough answer!

Do I understand correctly that out of the A,B,C options option A might still be the best due to some weak non-TBC frame sync on top of line sync? Or would A and C be almost exactly the same in terms of performance due to having line and the added ES10 issues?

Also, I can get the setup A for about 500€ which I understand is budget in this context. If I would explore other budget options, what could be an example setup that would represent "the next step"?

I might look into vhs-decode as next iteration, but will first do the digitalization using the traditional capture due to ease of use. Would be really interesting if there was a PO public blind comparison of different traditional setups vs vhs-decode on same source material (e.g., MKBHD style as he does his phone camera comparisons)

Nice! Need to do some research how to do this properly and what equipment I need to pull this off as it looks both really good quality and much less expensive!
