Pray they will replace it with a new one. But, I get to take out my Sony X3000 thanks to this channel I bought one.

Nikon Z9 here, it's just over the top and paired with my 105/1.4 quality is through the roof. Yet, those dj and mobiles are superior in their own ways. Handy, small, convenient. Watch out, GAS is lurking everywhere and never fix things that aren't broken.

Ehh man, I'm having only Z lenses but the only 1 lens I'd get from the F mount that needs an adaptor is that 105 f1.4 .

But flexible, user friendly, 4k BRAW, Best UI on great touchscreen. Also haptic buttons, constant updates. Gen 5 color, gyro data. They keep coming up, Adorama has used. You might like it.

I noticed something you might find interesting: when I take the battery out of the Panasonic G9ii and put it in the GH6, the GH6 turns on instantly without the lag it has with its own battery. I don't know if anyone else has tried this, but it's pretty bizarre.

Selling an XT-4 to get a Z30 is nuts. A ridiculous idea. And the guy with the D7200 and Insta360 x3 should get the Pocket 3. He has the image quality of the D7200 for photography and he wants to vlog, so the Pocket is better than the Z30, again.

Note about colour science. It really is down how you colour grade your footage. In your last pocket3 video Sony looked really magenta and reddish like shit but in this video where you compare A7SIII S-Cinetone to Z30 then it's Z30 looking like rubbish. It's the same for me when I was doing comparisons between Canon R8 any my sold Fuji. Once Fuji looked great but then Canon really shined and Fuji looked like garbage. In the end couple little tweaks and both looked almost identical.

Might need a small annular groove with a locating feature in the glass to stop the lens from sliding/rotating.
