>>4516903brandfag gearfagcould’ve posted a thread of photos you took with your sony but instead you’re posting marketing imagesfuck off loser
>>4516903Too mainstream, I shoot panasonic
>>4516934> I shoot on lumixwhich model anon?
>>4516935Whatever model I can get, usually with an ar-10 but s&w model 49 delivers the goods with the m43 bodies
>>4516903Because /p/ gets all green with envy> inb4 obligatory green goblina
>>4516952>obligatory green goblinaThat guy hasn't appeared for a few weeks so I think he's still banned for his last spergout.
>>4516952Why does the photo have a slight green hue
>>4516952>landscapes at high iso are fine bro>the landscapes:why didnt you use your 8 stop IBIS to do a 1 second exposure bro>>4516954looks like iso noise (green/magenta dominant)
>>4516952Is that a mobile phone shot? It's soft as fuck. My 12 year old D850 is sharper than this.
>>4516987it looks like film to me.
>>4516987sony users often suffer from dpreview studio scene iso noise comparison brain which causes the delusional belief that full frame looks good after iso 800>full frame low light performance! its better than the aps-c one on dpreview!its a myth. all cameras are dogshit with underexposure. sensor size improves tonality in good light.
>>4516903Snoy is literally a meme, nobody here actually owns one lol

>>4516903I've had the A7IV and it was the best camera that I didn't like to use. Then I thought getting the A7CII instead brings back the joy, but nope even worse. It's such a shame that they ignore the soul factor when designing their cameras.
>>4517064ikr. retro controls or canon’s “professionals only” feel really make taking photos of the cat feel like more than what it is. sony is just… a camera. and then you’re just… taking photos of the cat.
>>4516904I have Snoy and Phase, Snoy is much easier to use and more consistent. Of course, Snoy images feel like a Temu knockoff in comparison, but for a casual shooter, it's okay.
>>4516903>>best lens mountUhm no.
>>4516984>looks like iso noise (green/magenta dominant)High iso and way into diffraction territory with baby sensor.
>>4516903Camera brands don't matter. They never have. Given similar specs, and an hour or so on any brand, I can give you similar results. Just find one that feels good in the hand and has the specs for the work you do. It really is that simple.
>>4517503>Just find one that feels good in the handso it is a Canon
>>4517503>the work you doTaking poorly framed snapshits with missed focus and motion blur in your case?
>>4517507Yeah, but he can do that on any brand.
>>4517503Canon and Nikon don't have live view highlight alerts, while others do. What's even the point of having an EVF if it can't display that?
>>4517864>let me point out something that doesn't matterGood try
>>4517878sounds like someone who doesn't expose photos properly and then "fixes" it in post.
>>4517881Isn’t highlight alert more for raws, and taking photos that would be too dark with any jpeg settings (besides multi shot hdr) and recovering shadows in post to not lose highlight color info in clouds water etc?
>>4517881Good try>>4517882It's arguably less relevant for RAW
>>4517864I think this poster is AI. It keeps saying the same retarded thing over and over again and doesn’t seem to fully understand when humans reply to it. It just advertises for the same few brands until it leaves.
>>4516903On paper its perfect. But i ended up selling my sony gear. It was soulless slop. Buy a real camera brand.
>>4517958ikrfujis retro controls and canons 80s nu-retro style really make fucking around with dog and flower pictures feel like more than what it iswith sony, you’re just using the best camera on the market and choice of most professionals to take shitty dog pictures so it feels soulless. like driving to church in a ferrari.
>>4517963What cameras do you use?
>>4517882Highlight alert allows you to quickly get the best quality image your sensor can produce. For scenes like landscape with sun you expose by watching the highlight you want to keep and dial the shutter time to just when the clipping indication on that highlight disappears.JPEG or RAW doesn't matter, the longest exposure possible before clipping = least noise in the darker parts of scene.On primitive cameras you can only see the blinkies afterwards in review.
>>4518026Good thing if you use a camera for more than a few minutes, you can know whether your highlights will clip without needing blinkiesOn my cameras with blinkies / zebras, sure do have them turned onOn my cameras without, I can just look at what the whites (or histogram or meter) look like and know, I don't need to see it blinking to tell me lol, I can just look and seeThe more you shoot, the more you'll be able to reliably predict exposure tooAlso, all this whining to avoid 3 seconds to check for blinkies on image review if you need them that much, big lol
>>4518026Oh also, on basically any Nikon you can effectively enable them by using a custom picture profile with the highlights showing as clipped too
>>4518031See >>4517914It’s an indian or a bot. It keeps doing this over and over again as some sort of retarded marketing campaign. Half of /p/ is bots and shills. The other half is contrarian dislike for the things they advertise. https://archive.palanq.win/p/search/image/XpsE3uA7KHqX8mXYO7v57Q/^tip of the iceberg
>>4518032Only sony has this feature in a way that’s relevant to raws (zebra custom level 107). Even then, not many people use it. It’s visually annoying and it’s so easy to expose correctly without it, billions of people did it with DSLRs. Most zebra users are videographers who need to manage color channel clipping much more carefully.
>>4518031More coping for bad cameras.>I can just look at what the whites look like and knowlol sorry we are not all superhumans who can tell the difference between 254 and 255 brightness level in an EVF.The funny part is, you would never accept a RAW editor that can't indicate clipping.
>>4518044Even on sony, the only brand where blinkies correspond to raws, nobody uses the blinkies in stills. They don’t really matter.
>>4518047>the only brand where blinkies correspond to rawshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWkYe_8b-8M
>>4518051Hot take, AI. An m43 sensor’s raw file has the same dynamic range as 10 bit video or an HEIC file so it’s not much of an accomplishment there. Still i’ve never heard of anyone using it for photos.By the way, I think we’re seeing which brand this bot advertises forhttps://archive.palanq.win/p/search/image/oHA28RyGTC4ENe9S-krocQ/
>>4518044>coping for not knowing how to expose without blinkiesSad>can tell the difference between 254 and 255 brightness levelDo you really think that's what I mean when I say you can look a that highlights and know they're clipped? Sounds like you just need more practice with cameras>you would never accept a RAW editor that can't indicate clipping.Yes I would, I don't use blinkies / exposure warnings in my RAW editors either, do you?Don't worry, the more you shoot, the more you'll have to rely less on training wheels
>>4518059Anon its a botIt has never used a camera. It has no self. It has no comprehension. It has never had hands or eyes and never will. It has training data and guidelines for how to regurgitate it.
>>4518059>coping for not knowing how to expose without blinkiesI don't care how good you think you are, you can not look at a scene with challenging lighting conditions and know off the top of your head whether some highlights will be clipped. The only way you're going to guarantee you don't clip any is if you take every shot with exposure comp set to -3 stops.>you can look a that highlights and know they're clipped?Did you even read what he wrote? Again, I don't care how amazing you think your vision is you cannot tell the difference between clipped and borederline clipped. And, even if you're using the histogram that doesn't show you where the clipping is. Some highlights don't matter, or you may even want to purposely clip them as an artistic choice.Can you take decent photos without blinkies? Sure, people have been doing it on digital for decades before they were implemented. People also took some amazing photos before AF came around. But to argue against a genuinely useful feature just because your brand of choice doesn't have it is just dumb. I can admit that Sony not having focus stacking/bracketing on anything but their recent bodies is shitty when Nikon has had it for ages going back to their DSLRs. I don't try and defend it by saying "bro, you should just get good and learn to focus".
>>4518068tldr skill issue
Light meters win again!
>>4518059>Do you really think that's what I mean when I say you can look a that highlights and know they're clipped?Then you are underexposing and getting APS-C quality out of your full frame sensor, or 4/3 quality out of your APS-C.>>4518068>But to argue against a genuinely useful feature just because your brand of choice doesn't have it is just dumbThat's how you can tell the difference between a shill and an actual photographer.Actual photographers want better cameras. Shills and oblivious normies are always saying the camera is good enough.In 2026 there are still major brands that require you to go back into playback to check clipping. That's literally the way it works on 20 year old cameras.
>>4518071Yeah real photographers argue about a feature no one actually uses for stills and repost the same generic demos without changing the filename a dozen times and never provide any indication they own a cameraDeffo a shillbot
>>4518068>you cannot tell the difference between clipped and borederline clippedYou can once you get used to how a given camera displays highlights, but you have to use cameras to know that, maybe one day you'll learn that
