Why are all cameras the same? Where's the innovation? This can't be peak design when every single camera feels shitty to use.Where are personalisation options? Why are photographers so stuck up to not have any or put any of their personality into their gear that they spend 6 hours a day discussing about?
>>4360853>Wrench makers are stuck in the past>Car makers are even worse. Look at all these bolts. If its meant to be fixed, they expect it to break? Lol.>I don't even need to turn a nut to fix my iphone. I just take it to the genius bar and they do it for me.cucks indeed
>>4360859I think you forgot to take your medicine pal. AI improves photos/videos. Processing does it too. Enjoy your 5kg medium format camera on a tripod in 10 years when 12 years old girls take better photos on their moms iphone. That plastic and smears.jpg is already a relict of the past, depending on the model you are using.. and the tech is just in its beginnings. >pic related visible AI, but won a photography contestNot saying that AI should change the image I take with my Nikon/Canon/etc. But modern technologies/software could reduce noise, could keep the ISO down, could replace IBIS, could make AF actually good, could reduce camera size/weight and make them more ergonomic, could improve file sharing, etc. etc. And maybe, just maybe that would make photography interesting again for young people. But nah, thanks to people like you it's dying and soon we see more camera manufactors signing bancruptcy until we can only buy Snoy devices.
>>4360874>AI improvesLol. I will enjoy taking photos of real things instead of spamming CGI.>MEDS!This is already happening anon. There is AI tech out there to censor sensitive information like law enforcement officers in real time and anything that doesn't come from the AP and getty, the only ones who are allowed to use C2PA on snoys, is going to be called disinfo. Reason? AI touched it.China will doubtlessly lead the pack, AI is perfect for replacing tianmen square with violent protesters being peacefully forced back as they randomly commit suicide, but america can't be far behind. Trump assassination day was worrying to every left winger I know at university. The rightoids were celebrating how cool trump looked in the photo but we were discussing why the photographer was using his cameras max shutter speed and cropping with a 24mm f1.4 shot wide open when 1/250 is sufficient to freeze motion when someone is making a speech and 1/2000 is tack sharp for all but the fastest sports.
>>4360874yeah sony canon fuji hasselblad and nikon are just committing suicide by moving away from AI and focusing on realityits not because their cameras are the ones every big corporation and government uses to manufacture the truth at all

How do I find models to shoot?
>>4360875street photography when done right can be interesting, wedding photography is shit for ugly old obese womenno man during a wedding photography session thinks "wow this is fun and I'm happy"
>>4360876It's prejudice, not projection. From meeting other photographers.>i bet you tried inviting women into your home to take their portraitsNever, not even when I was single, because I'm not an incel creep that thinks andrew tate is a role model. I'm what successful people call smart. I'm familiar with how most photographers are creeps, and reason that since most women must know as well, women go into studios expecting a creep. So I take as many legal steps as possible to make sure I can't be the victim of false sexual assault. My studio is a rented space with full security camera coverage and I have a female assistant present at all times, either my GF pretending to look busy or my sister pretending to look busy.Just pointing out that you're scared of weddings because a bunch of women in revealing clothing accompanied by enough men to drag you off the premises is your worst nightmare. You're into photography because you see it as your last chance to get laid since you can't socialize normally. Like all the other photographers.hence the prejudice. If you're a photographer I automatically assume you're an incel.>>4360880You're just afraid because you can't be around attractive women at the same time as men who are capable of dragging your ass out back, ya little rapist.
>>4360882>You're just afraid because you can't be around attractive women at the same time as men who are capable of dragging your ass out back, ya little rapist.still projecting lamo
>>4360882>I take as many legal steps as possible to make sure I can't be the victim of false sexual>security camera coverage and I have a female assistant present at all timescan't relate, this is an american thing, a low trust society filled with animals ready to pray on each other, that's why to Answer OP main question i said weddings is a terrible place to get models and it doesn't matter if it's 1 on 1 with a model in a secret room or at a wedding venue, an ugly cunt will never get to have models wether he has a camera or a Ferrari
>>4360884Not projection. Prejudice.I'm the one who's able to hang around attractive women without spilling spaghetti and hitting on them or staring at their tits. Not you. You're afraid to deal with more than one lone girl in a studio who probably already assumed you were going to try and fuck her.>>4360888Most womens portrait photographers I have seen as real people who exist have been ugly fucks. The "i'll shoot for your instagram" guys. Lot of bony 30yo asians, beardies that look like bootleg right wing influencers, etc.Weddings on the other hand are a great place to start a real portrait photography business, because you can do studio, on site, and candid portraits and put them in a portfolio that clearly communicates you're not a hustler who bought a camera to fuck models. You don't get the models at the wedding. You get the cred at weddings, so you can get models who don't expect you to try and fuck them. maybe in your europoor shithole more people are whores.

>>4360877>>4360872Yes I have, but only boring things like "ttl" lighting. I have one of those 50/50 mirrors. It's extremely tedious to create setups where you project images onto each other. I got a piece of kit that will make it easier. I may try somethings out eventually.

>panasonic announces 2 new box camerasWhat?As far as I can tell, they've just taken the s5ii sensor and the gh5 sensor and shoved them in boxes that don't seem to have internal nds.Also, it looks like the cameras won't have internal raw recording and no information about the framerates available. Unless these cameras are phenomenally cheap, I can't see who this will appeal to
Any fellow Ninja V users here care to help me troubleshoot a very strange bug(?) I came across?
>>4359260Gimbal or drone users might want one and the people who buy a GoPro might want one too. Unless they add ND filters to them I don’t see too many other people wanting one.
I need three cameras for a podcast, I need them to be fairly small and easy to use. Budget would be around $1k for each with lens, and I'm wondering if it's possible to stream all three of them to something like OBS to easily synchronize with my audio interface, is there such a thing?
>>4360775>I'm wondering if it's possible to stream all three of them to something like OBSYou can use HDMI to USB capture devices like thesehttps://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/ultrastudio/techspecs/W-DLUS-13But it will be cheaper and safer to just get a cheap portable switcher like thishttps://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/atemmini/techspecs/W-APS-14Hook up the USB output to your PC and select the appropriate capture device in OBS.

Hi /p/, treated myself to a Nikkormat EL after I decided I didn't like juggling light meters on top of manual settings and focus on my Zorki-6 (well, at least not ALL the time). Camera store guys were nice even though I was a massive sperg and I got a free Soligor 35-70 f 2.5/3.5 (no idea what a Soligor is but hey, it's free and I left all my camera stuff back home) along with a free neck strap. :) But wouldn't you know it, the metering is genuinely insane. I have some Ilford HP5 in here, 400 ASA, and my new friend thinks my girlfriend's dark apartment is the brightest place on earth and wants me to set my shutter speed to 500 at 2.5 aperture. I found I can compensate for it by going down to 25 (the lowest option on the camera) and it gives me values more in line with my other equipment. Which, this works for 400, but what if I want to use 200? I'm back to using an external light meter. Maybe I should've got the N8008s... What do? Anyone have experience with the EL? I read the manual and couldn't find any mistakes I made. Is it the lens's fault? I didnt bring any other rabbit ear lenses on this trip, so I can't rule that out. Could it be a resistor inside that needs changed out? I will go back to the guys that sold me the camera tomorrow and see if they can help, and buy more stuff from them because they were nice to me, but who knows if that will pay off.Any advice or abuse is welcome, thanks /p/.
>>4355090What did she say when you asked her why she does it?How long do her biting sessions last?
>>4355205it's a Nikkormat FTN, sorry if I wrote something wrong. or maybe NFT? I'm pretty sure FTN, even though that's the same name as a photomic prism for the pro cameras... idk how to read the label on this one, sorry. I like it, and I really like the fully mechanical shutter, but the EL was sexy compared to it and I miss it. I kinda regret trading it for this one but I know it was the right choice and that Hashem designed for it to happen since the EL had an electromechanical shutter and that's treif.>>4355228She used to put on a cute voice and say “It's because I like you!”, now she says “Because I'm mean!” I don't really know how to comprehend it but it's adorable and mostly harmless. The longest she's done it for is probably just under 10 minutes before I distract her with something else or she runs back to her computer to read more Tyler Cowen blogs.
>>4355318oh and I would love to get my hands on those lenses, the store gave me some weird third party macro with my purchase and I went for it. should I just grab those on eBay or Keh?
>>4354082Probably has to do with battery type. Older batteries (lead based, I think?) that have been remade with lithium have a slightly different voltage or something. I can't remember the specifics, but basic throwing in a new battery that replaced an older version into an old camera causes a 2/3-1 stop over exposure from the internal meter.

>>4360833Should work, as would a Z6iii, it's the before-Z9 stuff that could be a problem.
>>4360836What do you mean "before the z9 stuff"?
>>4360833The Z8, Z9, and Z6III have the same noise performance as a canon R7. If you don't want that, you'll have to buy a ZF and fiddle with extra grips and fuji dials. There goes the one reason to shoot full frame besides MTF chart nitpicking.They also technically have worse autofocus performance than the canon r8/r7/FF flagships, for sports specifically (tracking subjects that spin around and disappear). It's not the best. It's just finally better than a DSLR and compared to the z7ii if you put the work in you can actually take photos instead of yelling and throwing the camera at the subject>LOST AGAIN>WHY IS IT HUNTING>THIS IS SINGLE POINT>WHY DID IT FOCUS ON THE BACKGROUND THE POINT WAS HALF OVER HIS HELMET>WHY IS IT HUNTING AGAIN>WHY WONT IT FIND FOCUS>someone shooting a bird on a branch: skill issue!

And of course, anything wrong with other brands is totally "SNOY" shills lying! The more /p/ hates sony the more I want one.
Sold all my camera gear (Fuji apsc) some years ago. Now I wanna get back into photography. Just as a hobby, not professional but I still want high quality. I do lots of weekend trips and traveling with family so I don't want a huge camera with big zoom lenses. Probably one or two prime lenses are enough for me. Being familiar with Fuji the new X100VI looks very good to me. My prefered focal length, good viewfinder, etc. I know it's not available now but lets ignore that fact for now. But then I was thinking why not going full frame this time. Back then it was too expensive but now it seems very reasonable. The Sony A7CII doesn't look much bigger than the Fuji and is in a similar price category. But the last time I tested a Sony (I believe it was the A7III) I really disliked it.. felt more like a computer than a fun camera. For me the overall experience when taking photos takes a big part of it. Anyone here who has experience with both cams that could give me a suggestion?[EXIF data available.

I'm requesting recommendations for good photobooks that include writing by the photographer themselves. I've been renting some from the national library recently. Very few of them were edited or written by the photographer. I find this very odd. Seems too hands-off. Looking for examples of work where the photographer was just as capable of writing, editing and publishing as they were of taking photos.
>>4359829The reason I had been considering it is that the UVanon "brand" seems to be about these personal and sincere blog-y conversations I've engaged in within my threads. In the absence of opportunity for dialogue with the audience of a book, I suppose it would not translate. I'll check out these Soth videos. Thanks.
