Is this some new bot? I’ve seen this same exact reply in a few different threads across the boards now. Wonder what the trigger is.

>>4302282
I love my S5. It definitely takes amazing photos, but I really don't like using it for important fast photography (events, paid work, etc). The button layout and interface isn't as intuitive as my Nikon DSLRS (D600, D7100).
I especially hate how it's not easy to delete photos quickly. Maybe the S5II has improved this idk?
Works well with some adapted canon lenses (Tamron 17-35 2.8-4, Sigma 24-105 f4, Canon 70-210 f3.5-4.5, Canon 50mm 1.8 STM)
I only have the native Lumix S 20-60mm lens. Phenomenal lens, just a little slow.
Its a perfect camera for video tho.

>>4302286
"full frame is not cinematic" may I ask what it means good sir? I assumed that you are talking about super 35 are better than fullframe stuffs but I think it's only better in cinema camera world. In mirrorless/dslr, full frame is definitely much better.

>>4305698
Do you think cinema cameras are not mirrorless or SLR? What do you think they are, pellicle mirror cameras?

Are you not aware that some noise/grain is actually desirable in video even at levels where it's intolerable in stills? Movies beloved for their camera work have used 16mm film. That's like filming on micro four thirds.

Full frame is not cinematic. It is soap operamatic. Or shitty super hero movie...matic. Bokeh in motion is the festering brand of consoomer slop.

>>4302282
Unless you have some specific need, it's gonna be the same as every other full frame camera. 14 stops of range with 24-33mpx sensor, your deciding factor should be lenses and ergonomics, imo.

Well if gearfaggotry didnt work it would die off. But it works. It works really well for the people that have a modicum of talent/connections.

>>4305579
>>4305480
Share with me what the ideal non/anti-gearfag setup would be? Can I still shoot large format film without being a gearfag, or is 35mm the only permissible film format?

>>4305619
gearfaggotry isn't something you can buy and sell, gearfaggotry isn't a line drawn in dollars, and gearfaggotry isn't a status you earn because you have a nicer camera than someone else. you might be financially irresponsible, rich, a scrooge, or addicted to retail therapy, but you're not over the line yet. you are not yet gearfag just because you have gear. you are definitely a fag, but not yet a gearfag.

it's a way of life, it's a way of looking at photography, from the results to the process - all through the lens of gear. making excuses based on gear. passing judgement based on gear. it doesn't stop at the camera, it doesn't stop at film vs digital, ccd vs cmos, or full frame vs mft. gearfaggotry runs deep. deeper than "i will finally take those photos once I get my leica". the tripod, the head, the flash, the modifiers, the reflectors, the scrims, the fucking STANDS, the screen, the printer, the paper, the frame, the glass. the gearfag is exacting. the gearfag is never satisfied. the gearfag has spent a lot of time thinking about all of these, arguing about the best - the gearfag sees all of these things, all this gear, as so inexorably intertwined with photography that photography is mostly just about what you used to make the photo. and it need not be expensive, the gearfag may very well decide that expensive things make photography worse. it's just about the gear. when the gearfag is presented with a photo they want a closer look at the exif before they even look at the fucking picture so they can make sure they're allowed to like it. and if you used flash, they will ask you which flash you used. so they can say "oh, doesn't the color temperature vary up to 400k? you shot on that trash? no wonder your colors are FUCKED".

that is what it means to be gearfag.

just by asking what to buy so you can not be a gearfag, as if a purchase can make you more authentic photographer, you put a toe over the gearfag line. retract it. Now!

>>4305622
That must have been fun to write, and I agree with you. It's an excuse to judge an image based on the gear rather than the content.

I like prints more than looking at images on a screen. I have fun imagining a pixel peeper/gearfag using a loupe or standing 1 inch away from a framed print on a wall exclaiming that the corners are soft from a shitty lens and declaring it a terrible picture for that reason alone. In a completely silent gallery as well.

>>4304839

>>4305100
They got to mirrorless first, they have greater production capacity, they got to the high framerate auto-everything for incompetent journalists thing first, and they opened new tech support centers when nikon had to close some of theirs.

What do you think "professionals" (the majority of them, that you should not look up to or imitate, think the underpaid mooks you see following people around on the news and at sports games) actually care about?
They don't care about dick. They aren't even photographers. They don't even buy the cameras. Their employer does, and employers care about contracts. Supply contracts. Support contracts. And foolproof shit their retarded employees can use without fucking up. What do employers have right now? Long standing deals with sony, lots of supporting equipment that only has first party support on sony, etc, same reason canon has staying power, decades worth of EF gear is piled up wherever people work however shitty it is because it was the best for masses of non-artistic snapshitters way back when.

Nikon just sends cameras into space. 0 future, as far as being a profitable soulless corporate outfit goes. They're going to join pentax, fuji, and panasonic in "artist brands".

>>4305594
No that's pretty accurate. Just go down lens reviews for E mount sometime

35mm f1.4 gm = -3ev wide open, 2ev f2

Good portrait, can actually see the subject - framing could improve

try harder to avoid cliches, stick to the stronger images and leave the rest out desu - some cool compositions when the subjects are in focus, some good autism going on with first image in set

it's a great photo. cell phones aren't bad for stuff you are close to like this.

however it doesn't look in focus and the resolution is poor. it also has poor dynamic range and color depth(but you may have edited it out)

but seriously
the only good way to have such a blur not look like shit is to use PHYSICAL FILTERS
blurring in post is always garbage and is why "bokeh" on phones in gay portrait modes is a scam and always looks bad

I'll only use bloom if it were a natural trait if a certain lens or with a filter, as I have yet to see a digital bloom method that looks right.

>Why do you think canon was the #1 brand when nikon had better sensors?
because Canon lenses had internal autofocus motors when Nikon was still fucking around with screwdrive, and Nikon never recovered

This, also electronic aperture but I'm not sure it's an advantage at all

It matters more if your camera is just a hobby (dedicated outings) or also a lifestyle thing (take camera to places just because). In the latter case upgrading to a newer mirrorless does help. the back screens are a lot better and they're faster to shoot. not FPS fast shooting (but that too). the VF is optional, the lens is stopped down for the view and there's a focus magnifier that makes manual a lot faster, the auto-autofocus is magic and exposure preview means you don't have to spot meter in difficult scenes. these dont matter as much if its just your hobby to go on photowalks, a DSLR can manage even with sports/wildlife. a DSLR might even better if you're night shooting, since there's no low light EVF lag/noise.

Its just underexposing to protect highlights and pushing shadows and midtones with a different luma curve that roughly corresponds to 1 iso stop worth of gain.

i just got a k70 as my first dslr and my goodness there are so many settings.
are there any guides of what some good defaults are?

I wouldn't take these recommendations as facts, but it probably gives you some of the more important settings to consider.

that's good thanks, I have to give the manual a good read

>>4304974
That makes sense. In >>4304972 f/8 became f/11, but at the same time ISO is increased to 200. Why is this? Doesn't this keep the "effective" exposure at 0 EV?

>>4304931
but i usually zoom the pic to see details, not all the pictures are viewed in the frame that its supposed

>shoot against window
>"I'll just underexpose so that the outside isn't blown out"
>now can't make it not look like shit without blowing out the window
Fucking with sliders isn't gonna fix that is it, I'd have to use masking and shit. Kinda hard when there's a person sticking in front of the window.

If you can go back in time, try some fill flash. It may help
