AI is a tool for creating fakery. Room 101

And some cine lenses to go along with it.

@@JWPanimation Of course!

I know right? I have the xt30 ii and always found it weird that it isn't called xt40 lol.

+ Panasonic fz1000 mk3

That sector of the market is so small as to be effectively dead. What additional features would you want?

You’re right! And Yeah I’ve been saying this for a while. I was criticized by some for switching to the canon R5 as my primary camera! Was told how the A1 was vastly superior over and over. But there’s no difference in image quality. I’m not shooting at 30fps for the work that I do, plus it takes too long for the buffer to clear when shooting that quickly and the buffer fills up (as opposed to the Canon R5 if you shoot to J-peg on the SD card and Raw to the CFExpress type B card you can shoot hundreds of photos for a longer period of time without the buffer filling then it clears quicker). You have animal AF and the R5 does great with Birds. Focus bracketing up to 999 photos, multiple exposure, HDR mode, IBIS High res shots over 400 megapixels (granted this is in J-Peg, but it’s still possible), duel pixel AF, highlight tone priority, etc… yes the A1 has a stacked sensor, however, I found that most of the issues with the R5’s lack of a stacked sensor could be resolved shooting mechanically. Both the A1 and Canon R5 have anti-flicker and other options to help reduce flicker, and other issues. So overall for how I shoot and the value for money. The canon R5 was a better option over the Sony A1 and plus at that time if you sold the A1, you were getting almost the same value as for the price of how much you paid for the camera (only losing around $700 after a years use). It sucks that they aren’t supporting the A1. It’s such a great camera with so much potential, but every camera underneath it has received 10X’s more attention than the A1 and I don’t understand what Sony’s logic was for doing this. It’s f someone is spending over $7,000 (after taxes) on a camera, that’s the camera to support and it’s the flagship model. The a9 iii has received a major update and it’s only be out 7 weeks! Doesn’t make sense to me. They might have issues selling the A1 mark II because of this.

A1 is still the best camera though

@@mattricci2981no it’s not. I own the A1 and I am disgusted as a customer with Sony. They screwed up the FW update again yesterday and A1 owners are up in arms over having bricked devices now that cannot operate on account of the 2.01 FW update

This is giving astroturf

@@mattricci2981There is no best camera. There is only the best camera for what you want it for and what you are willing to pay for it.

Yup haha

I was extremely aggravated to find no Nikon Rumor news about the 1.2 that feels like we have been waiting forever!! I came to look for those comments ha

The S5II makes me regret all the money I ever spent on Sony and Canon.

Plus, it adapts to Nikon for, like, 250 bucks.

Terrible AF and weighs 300 grams more than it should, plus it is throttled on a Stack. I would never get that lens for A1

@@hikertrashfilmsalmost stated this. Because they both have A1’s! The Nikon should be great. I’m glad they are coming out with an f/1.2 while Canon and Sony seem to stay on the f/1.4 bandwagons for some reason.

​@hikertrashfilms You want an f1.2 lens for under 800 grams? lol The Nikon looks like it'll be heavier than the Sigma version. Tony implied maybe switching over to Nikon for their 35 f1.2 lens. Would you sell a Sony A1 for a Nikon Z9? Sony just announced the Sigma 150-600 and 60-600 will no longer be frame throttled in an upcoming firmware update. Maybe they'll do the same for more lenses.

@@marksoukup1267 Right? This is Nikon. The lenses PetaPixel uses to illustrate how much other lenses weigh. And who's shooting 120fps on a 35 at 1.2? You're in a WEIRD situation if you're doing that.

Unless they've changed it, I'm pretty sure Adobe gets their training sets from Adobe Stock exclusively.

@@boundaryscience Adobe created there Stock-Agency for future AI, bypassing any copyright infringement.

They Said the same about 50 1.2 still Sony made one . Just curious how did you calculate it to be to small ?

@@Herkulez1981it’s been 1,814 days since the first 85mm F1.2 for mirrorless debuted.... Sony cannot answer it

Kenji Tanaka, a Senior General Manager at Sony said in 2018 that Sony "could technically produce an f/1.0 lens, but there's no demand in the market and it would not make sense business-wise."

@@marksoukup1267you’re crazy if you believe there is no demand in the market for a F1.2 85mm Native Prime for E-Mount

how do they plan on making that work?

@@raynjpg Sony built their Foundation on selling Cropped Cameras which led to folks eventually buying into FF. The vast majority of folks these days really can't afford the cost of FF plus a decent lens. Canon is setting the stage for when the vast Majority of Folks are better off financially, they will have the Right Product Mix.

@@raynjpghow they plan it to work ? Pretty Easy people Will buy a aps-c r camera now that they have a much better lens selection and then some of them will move up to a Canon fullframe camera

Its a very good move. I was going to buy a Fuji är nikon aps-c camera next to my ff Canons i mostly use for planned shoots , all of the sudden they have all the crop lenses i need and dont have to have two totallly different systems home

I don't think you can call it genius when they are by far the last major camera maker to open up their lens mount. But it is indeed good that they finally do.

The a1 is a good z8 competitor, we just need the price to drop.

@@TonyAndChelseano it’s not... Sony treats it’s loyal customers who have shelled out $20,000 like crap... they refuse to update the firmware of the A1 to provide 1s Pre-Capture, Focus Stacking in Body or Animal/Bird Eye AF in Video. Sony is engaging in Forced Obsolescence, when the A1 has the hardware to do all three of these features. A9iii is a terrible choice for hybrid shooters who value landscape and nature

@@TonyAndChelsea yes canon and Nikon are killing Sony in this area multiple choices under $6000 .I love you guys but get on Sony nobody is giving shit about choices in wildlife cameras. Just oh and ah about global shutter

@@tomegan4060global shutter sucks... AI Chip is a lie. A7RV has the exact same internals as the A1 when it comes to 2x Bionz XR chips. Sony is lying to everyone, they put binned chips in the A1 because it was the first camera with the Bionz XR chip and they binned the chips to throttle it down because it was the beginning of a new model

@@adamginsburg9909canon R5 doesn’t have a “AI” chip in it. Locks on to subjects fine. The Z9 doesn’t have an “AI” chip in it locks on to birds fine with updated firmware. Not sure what’s going on with the Sony A1.

My pleasure!
