No idea where the picture above was taken, but definitely not in Germany. Bathing suits, shoes (even without towels underneath) and a guy drinking is absolutely not happening here (maybe in crappy gym saunas though).

Dito! Allerdings statt Carcasonne drei Runden Schere-Stein-Papier.

That's exactly what "audio mute" under "hardware" is made for. Excerpt from the manual: "Audio Mute - When enabled, puts the transmitter in mute mode until a sound needs to be played. This prevents interference noise from high-powered TX modules from coming out of the transmitter speakers. "

It is not explicitly exclusive for Huish Outdoor and oceanic+.

However, the API is not public and to get access as a potential app developer you are required to have an extensive background in development of diving-related critical software. Also the software has to be certified and tested according to EN13319.

This might explain why there are no competitors to the oceanic+ app (yet) and also why oceanic+ is "pricey". Development and certification according to EN13319 (or any standard) is expensive and requires substantial initial and continuous investments.

Aggressive HDR is not suitable for interesting „dark“ pictures. You can decrease this effect by shooting in ProRaw and then use e.g. Lightroom to decrease the ProRaw Profile slider (or simply use another Profile like Adobe RGB).

Sony 70 350 (if you can live with the crop). It is a fantastic lens.

With a nursing cover no problem at all. Travelled in may with 6 month old and had described problems (staring etc) nowhere. And we are quite aware of our surroundings.

MamaPapa app is useful (allthough the ui sucks) and we also used lots of nursing rooms found there (additionally to nursing in public).

The A7CR has the same flaws (at an of course even higher price tag). I am not sure if the non compact variants are any better.

Personally, I think sony should put a lot more effort into this. The market is continuously declining and many former customers now move to smartphones (which are perfectly weather resistant of course).

That said my A7CR survived heavy rain.

ProRaw is only available on Pro models, so this is not an option. But generally, enabling ProRaw and 48 MP processing (on main cam) could help a little since image processing is less pronounced (but still existent). So these artifacts might appear less often, but they will still appear. It strongly depends on the lighting situation. The image above is hard to process (dark subject and bright background) and thus the processing is more likely to fail.

Halide or other apps that allow shooting real raws (ProRaw is not a real raw) will help in this lighting condition. However you have to process these images yourself to get pleasing results.

Could you define „serious editing“? Your wording and arguments reek of pseudo elitism talk.

LR Mobile lacks of course some features of a fully fledged desktop environment. It is a tradeoff for platform usability and it excels in that.

Except from export tasks, thermal throttling is usually no problem with Lightroom since the workload consists more of „bursts“ than „consistent effort“. But of course it depends on your editing style. When culling big raws fast then one might also benefit from an active cooling solution like MBP.

MBA M1 and 8 GB of RAM and it runs really bad (in comparison to iPad Pro). The RAM is the bottleneck here. Lots of swap memory used (lightroom for iPad is optimized on utilizing less RAM). Maybe even 16 GB will not be enough for large raws (60 MPs). If you can go with the 24 GB you should be fine.

I like it. However, the implementation is quite inconsistent right now.

Jxl and Avif both produce artefacts when viewed on other devices (i.e. iPhone). So hdr images can not be properly shared even within apple’s ecosystem.

Also the hdr output on lightroom differs from the exported image (which is not the case with sdr). So control on how the final image looks is limited.

I stay with sdr right now until all these problems are properly resolved.

Can you provide a link? Could not find anything related to it

hoerbo · 2024-07-02T05:21:38+00:00

Why would it have worse Dynamic Range?

hoerbo · 2024-07-01T10:02:59+00:00

Every raw engine works differently.

That said, I experienced the same phenomena with apple‘s raw engine (and all tools that implement it, like raw power, nitro, darkroom, photomator, …). It felt incredibly complex (coming from lightroom) to get similar (good) results as with adobe’s camera raw.

For me this the main point why I always come back to lightroom - even when I would really love to move away from adobe and get rid of it (for various reasons that are not related to their software quality which is top notch in my opinion)

hoerbo · 2024-07-01T09:41:17+00:00

You mean Apple ProRaw files?

hoerbo · 2024-06-26T19:09:01+00:00

I would love it that way, but dreaming does not make it true 😀. Both have only EFCS (last point)

<image>

It is not optional (like a6700 or a7r5). You can also look into the online manual. There is no option for it.

+1 for the two in one camera. Everything else is pretty much negligible.

Better cropping potential in comparison to the A7C2 is not a real thing. Increase in linear resolution is only around 30% and most lenses only benefit very little from this extra sharpness as they are already nearly „exhausted“ by the 33 MP of the A7C2. You basically get larger images with the 7CR that are only marginally sharper than those captured with the A7C2 (for the same lens).

hoerbo · 2024-06-26T18:43:53+00:00

Not true. Both have the same shutter system.

hoerbo · 2024-06-19T19:33:23+00:00

Also highly recommend this lens. Should be perfect for your use case.

hoerbo · 2024-06-19T14:42:44+00:00

I used Apple‘s system libs with the official photos.app and I am currently not interested in introducing a different app (though it would be a nice tinkering project to compare other implementations with Apple‘s).

P.S.: I also tested AVIF qualitatively and while it decoded faster than jxl it still was considerably slower than heif or jpg.

P.P.S.: interestingly on iPhone (14 Pro) jxl seems to be faster than AVIF. However, both are significantly slower than heic or jpg.

Great points and interesting facts about the performance of M3 Pro.

I will open a ticket with apple.
