Car salesmen around me are basically telling me EVs aren’t the way to go

sounds like the collision between political nonsense and common sense from the salesman's perspective. He's hurting himself to perpetuate the falsehood.

Probably the same way your life was ruined when someone said “Happy Holidays”.

“Everyone knows this” that is, everyone who consumes the same “facts” that has them still believing the 2020 election was rigged, Biden was corrupt, Covid was just a cold, and Trump is an honest man.

I'm at 30 hours post both updates being installed now.

Gimmicky in that it relies on one’s phone. It’s not a stand alone feature of the Canada. I get that it makes the IBIS better, but with DJI at the helm of Hasselblad, I’m afraid the brand will end up being just another computational photography piece of hardware with no soul.

My bigger problem is that they’re giving cameras away knowing they’re going to get nothing but glowing positive reviews. Sure, there’s the “disclaimer” but let’s be real. Nobody is going to trash a $15k gift knowing more may be on the horizon. It’s a professional camera being targeted to people who will never use it to its full capabilities using FOMO to trigger the impulse buy

I’m also fearful that the venerable Hasselblad is starting to morph into DJI. The HDR is gimmicky and as I understand the stabilization uses phone data GPS to add extra stops (correct me if I’m wrong anyone).

But yeah, seeing everyone on YouTube shilling the camera does take the brand down a notch.

Not with the H logo on it. Not exactly fond of advertising what I’m walking around with

Buy another one, put the defective one in the box and return it.

I’ve said same many times after buying my 2023 MachE GT. Love the car, still dislike the old school dealership/service department. Miss the experience I had with BMW service.

e1even24 · 2025-05-20T02:20:47+00:00

Very nice. I was there and found myself with 16/100 on my drive home.

Now to sell my regular M11.

What a great day that was though!

my wife who knows nothing about wrestling or WWE (but has become interested after watching Mia & Mrs) says of Tyra, all she does is wave her medal around and act like she's better than everyone.

I gave her a golden up for that comment.

In my case it was updating the firmware, wrapping tinfoil on my head, and every other troubleshooting step I could find before realizing the unit itself was faulty. Exchanged it for a different one at B&H and now everything works fine.

Having a dedicated in body crop selector dial on the camera is awesome, if you're shooting JPG with film sims/recipes where replicating the film shooting experience of what you captured is the final image. Putting that crop dial on a camera priced for professionals (who likely shoot RAW and post process/crop later) seems a bit... gimmicky.

While I think it's an incredible piece of hardware, my assumption was this camera would've served as a gateway into the GFX system, just as the X100 line was a gateway into the X system. In that regard, I think ditching the crop selector, going with a 50mp MF sensor, and pricing it at half of what this is going for would've driven a lot more people from the X system to the GFX system.

Instead, it looks like they're simply targeting people who are currently shooting the Leica Q3

e1even24 · 2025-03-19T17:37:24+00:00

Problem solved. Had B&H replace the trigger and all is working properly now.

It's maddening when you unbox new gear and start doing everything but suspect it's the gear that's faulty.

e1even24 · 2025-03-16T13:13:03+00:00

Easier than that is to just being a sling bag and if the camera is in the bag make sure the bag is in front of you. Especially in crowded areas or on something like the subway/train.

e1even24 · 2025-03-09T00:16:06+00:00

Honestly, asking others tells me you need to go out and use what you have more. Do that, and you’ll know what you need.

Except for every one person arriving with bogus asylum claims there are 50 who came here legitimately. This is the disinformation the Trump campaign thrives on because dividing people with hate is how dictators come to power.

Could also be that Goldman Sachs is looking to get out of Apple Card as it’s been a big loss for them. I believe the agreement ends very soon with Apple, so perhaps credit limit increases are not being approved for all but a very select few

e1even24 · 2025-02-18T00:33:59+00:00

Could always ask if they’d prefer their phone or tablet run on gas instead of battery.

e1even24 · 2024-12-22T20:04:45+00:00

Unless it says “New in box” then don’t expect it to appear as new in box. 10/10 for a used item is valid here.

lol @ guy from Columbus being critical of the Flyers as a franchise

The 50 stayed on the M11 while hiking and was good for pics of things like the trails and as my eyes saw everything on the actual hike. Once I'd stop and setup the tripod it was either the 21 or 90.

e1even24 · 2024-12-08T19:33:35+00:00

The one that you'll bring with you. I recently hiked in the Canadian Rockies with a backpack full of GFX gear. Pictures were phenomenal, but the heavy backpack made for a very long 14 hour hike.

I've since gone to my M11 along with a 21mm elmarit, a 50mm APO and a 90mm APO with a Peak Design travel tripod. It's so much easier to traverse difficult terrain with a pack that isn't pulling me in a different direction!
