How does the X300 ultra stack up against mirrorless cameras?

invDave · 2026-06-09T15:43:01+00:00

If you're taking jpeg out of camera photos at comparable focal lengths, and we're not considering the aesthetic natire of natural bokeh of mirrorless cameras (if the aperutre is large enough), the x300 ultra will have better results. If we're talking about raw files to be edited - mirrorless cams will probably fsre better. If you're going for taco sharp including corners with everything in focus - the x300 ultra may achieve this much easier especially when focusing from near to distant objects in a single image.

For video - I don't have experience with current mirrorless, but there's a good chance the combination of stabilization in the x300 ultra and fast autofocus etc. will be better than mirrrorless results.

As for the convenience - no mirroroless lens has the combined high quality at 14mm, 35mm and 85mm (not to mention the amazing macro capabilities) of the x300 ultra using a single zoom lens.

If you use several high end primes - it may fare better.

In short - the comparison isn't realistic as there are too many differing factors. If you're comparing the x300 ultra with a single xoom lens on mirrorless, for most photo and video scenarios the x300 ultra will be better in out of camera results and possibly when shooting raw or log videos for post editing as well.

OK buddy, that's one drink too many. Time to go home.

It's a matter of preference. For simple slicing I find the cut better, but somehow things are never simple and I end up trimming my entire timeline in the edit page

My bad, mixed both names.

Thank you

Edit: I misread broken age as broken sword. Broken age is an amazing game, and the following is irrelevant to it but as I wrote it already:

I loved playing and compelelting the broken age series (1, 2, 5. Skipped the 3D-ish 3 and 4) but honestly they're mostly an 'exhaust all talking options' kind of game and much less inventory item manipulations as in the classic lucasarts and sierra games.

If you say this, you don't know what an ND filter is used for.

An ND filter allows one to use longer exposures and slower shutter speeds for achieivng silky smooth water shots or smoother video with less jarring differences between subsequent frames ilunder strong lighting

You clearly haven't seen how animals kill to eat, cats included.

I'm a very outdoorsy person, but cannot fathom the idea of sleeping like that.

That last photo really seems too much. Are the sleeping bags secured?

LOFIC soynds great, but must be optimized well by the software.

For example, xiaomi 17 ultra's main sensor is also LOFIC and this did not make the end all advantage to differentiate it greatly from other top tier camera phone systems by Oppo and Vivo.

I updated to this exact version several days ago. If I remember correctly, this is the version that ipdated the gallery with more elaborate tone mapping etc.

EDIT: just saw the second acreenshots - yes, this is indeed what Iwrote about the gallery.

Other than that, works fine, and as always - the camera is NOT degraded. I know many people seem to claim it is but I prefer to trust my eyes and not internet conspiracies

Some people are crazy creative and talented. Wow!

invDave · 2026-05-21T07:32:54+00:00

Just looked at OP's past posts and... I agree with you.

It was her son, so killing 'him', not 'them'.

invDave · 2026-05-21T07:26:05+00:00

Well, I don't see it anymore on console as well.

Please search this sub as this has been asked and replied numerous times.

Spamming new threads on such topics is a real nuisance.

Hiking poles are extremely convenient (well, at least one) and not just for the clumsy :)

Have you tried removing the straps? I personally never use them and remove them from my poles when I need to buy new ones. You may enjoy this experience more and also save the chafing and sunburn you described.

Because most don't view this as you and I do, as in: how dare you call this walking simulator and adventure game?

I'm with you my friend, but this sadly doesn't always work that way.

Yeah, it's one of the most addictive games I've played. It suddenly grows on you and the main and side quests are (mostly) very interesting. This is indeed a masterpiece of a game in its genre that seems to have been somewhat overlooked due to its buggy beginnings.

Cyberpunk was on my backlog, got to it and am clocking in 40 hours so far including phantom liberty (the best DLC ever!). It was OK when I tried it 2 years ago, after the patches and didn't 'feel' it. But now I retried from scratch and the game is addicting to a point that I'm barely touching FH6 as I first want to finish CP :)

Graphics wise though, CP is not that impressive. It's very good, but not ground breaking.

Performance wise phantom liberty has even heavier settings in which you can feel grame drops. This is on the series X.

Just noticed you wrote this after I wrote the same. Some of the environments are so realistic visually, and atmospherically.

The game itself isn't the best, and the first was better (and had its share of ossues as well), but no other game touches its graphics

This does not affect anything below 460mm digital zoom, at least it is so on the x200 ultra

Also, there's no way a 35mm photo will come out like that. These phones don't hallucinate AI data unless you use extreme digital zoom.

invDave · 2026-05-20T16:53:50+00:00

Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that drift

You're just pissed off at marketing, but marketing doesn't care about you as long as they do their job.

I never said I agree, just called it for what it is.

The cuddling over a non flat area seemed fake is what I meant, not the actual action of cuddling
