Yea, and Sony is lacking in a ton of lenses for its systems, yet they insist on releasing new cams yearly. You think your A9 is the shyt? 6 months later, A9s. 8 months later, A10.
Its kind of dope they pump out cameras regularly, but it doesn't seem like they double down on existing things.

I got into fuji off the strength of what the x100F offers me, and the fact they do regular firmware upgrades for cameras. Also, the jpegs:letyasoulglow:
As good as their cameras are, they should slow down and fix a bunch of things at once then release a camera. It's like they fix one little thing, or they upgrade incrementally. And a lot of their full frame customers eat the shyt up and keep buying brand new cameras every half a year. :mjlol:Most of these people wouldn't need anything beyond an A7R realistically for what they do. You're not seeing this crazy jump in image quality with every camera, if there's a jump at all.

Exactly. Its insane how many products they will drop...not even to have diverse camera offerings, but to replace the flagships they dropped 8-12 months before:mindblown:
Like come on. Sony legit has its foot on the mirrorless markets neck since they make the sensors, but this product spamming they do. Its weird. Apparently, its also profitable.

Even get the youtubers to basically sell their products for them. Everybody from Manny Ortiz to Keydrin Franklin to Jason Lanier. Jason is atleast like one of their "artisans". The other people are part of the "alpha collective" or whatever they call it. They be having people really upgrading on day one of each camera too. :wow:That's where sony really is hustling people, it's the fact that basically got the youtubers to buy in and made them feel like they were part of the hustle.

I shot RAW when I was Nikon. I'm waiting on Fuji X Raw converter to A: come to Windows next month or B: I get a Mac this weekend (to learn SWIFT on) and dual boot Linux.

The alternative is Darkroom cause i'm not paying for Lightroom. Besides, the Fuji Jpgs retain SO much detail in the highlights and shadows, I see zero reason to use raw with
these cameras currently. When I get my clothing line up and running, maybe, but Classic Chrome on fuji>>>>>>all RAW editing.

:russ:I'm tempted to start a channel simply because I can run my mouth and get into nutty shyt all day. Been looking at Mics for my Nikon to use.

I wouldn't do them intros, though. Imma be the black Pewdiepie and be the first coli dude to utter "cacs" in a video:lolbron:

I mean... it's not like you have to buy every new camera that a manufacturer makes
:mjlol:

Sony's releases are packed with features that will have you set for the foreseeable future. Only people buying every camera like that are people that review them shyts on Youtube or something.

If anything, Sony's pushing the competition to keep up with them in the feature department.

You could have warned me that the lenses cost more than the damn camera breh :wow:

Which lens do you got and how much do did you pay

I'm thinking these shyts are 20 to 30 dollar attachments :mjcry:.

Nobody said this life was cheap. And you not gonna be shooting video with any of those lenses anyway so it wasn't worth mentioning. Just use lens it comes with and shoot in decent lighting and you'll be fine.

I thought I needed a 35mm lens for the cinematic feel at least

I'm reading that the kit lense doesn't let I enough light ?
