@@Skrenja i mean, LTT isn't your usual youtube channel. its a full production company. if a CoD youtuber used one as their face cam camera then yes, it would be the biggest waste of money possible in a pc setup. but for LMG? they actually use these cameras as intended so its not really a waste

[@Skrenja]

@@XenonArcher Nah man it totally is. You'd be hard pressed to find use for it _anywhere._ At the end of the day, LTT's content is still going onto KZbin where having insane resolutions like 8k are completely wasted on. The only real application for 8K cameras like those are: A. VFX and greenscreen heavy Hollywood movies, or B. Lots of cropping in post. (Which is dumb to me. I'd rather cut to a cheaper B camera instead.) I don't see alot of slowmo on their channel, so unless they _need_ those high frame rates -- there are cheaper cameras that would do the job just as well. If I were them and was already taking out a mortgage on a camera, I'd spend a bit more for something like a Mini LF instead. Superior color accuracy and dynamic range trump resolution every day of the week. Hell, I don't even think insane resolutions always look that great. There's a point where things can get _too_ sharp and detailed to where it actually detracts from the image.

[@Lytemedia]

​@@XenonArcher as a camera operator, I honestly do struggle to see the use of a camera like this outside of VFX work. 8K is honestly a little too much for anything I'd need it for at the very least. Given the choice, I'd rather take a better form factor, better I/O, and most importantly, a functional V-Lock battery mount at the back. But my one takeaway I do appreciate is they provide some pressure towards Sony/Arri to produce better cameras :P

[@XenonArcher]

@@Lytemedia Red camera's have always been pretty niche tbh. And in high end production work, higher resolution is never a bad thing, from what I know at least.
