    Maybe it's getting better, but racism is still here... deeply sad for you, bro. And I think racism against black people is all over the world. Positive racism like "oh, black people have rythm under their skin", or negative, as often (Georges Floyd's murder). As a white guy, I can feel that and feel so sorry for it. Looking around me in wedding industry in France, I don't see any black photographer. And that's just a shame. And as you say, if someone talks about you, it's saying "a good black wedding photographer". May I simply tell you I follow your videos. Because your advices, your points of view are interesting. And I learn things from you. And I just don't care about your skin color : I wish I was pink and green to make you laugh !

    And is this truth, actually its a zoom lens. Because you have this crop functions (windows) and with the 60MP pixels you can crop to like 50mm or 70mm and thats the same like using a 50mm or 70mm lens. Am I right?

    I wanted to be a math teacher but school officials, particularly the DOE, discouraged me from chasing my dream. I also recall CUNY guidance counselors discouraging me from pursuing my academic objectives. This was all done in an effort to keep certain minorities from reaching success and job security. So, I did others things with my life. Now at 59 years old with three college degrees, I find myself working as a security guard making peanuts for a living in a dead-end job. How about that for a story? Note: I also worked as a sub teacher in NYC for 8 years (2000-2008).

    Facts, I just bought a new Fx6 about 7 months ago and got 2 brand new GM Lenses expecting greatness. I legitamitaly thought the FX6 was a terrible camera for the past 7months until I borrowed my photographer friends Zeis 55 1.8, and I couldnt believe it. The quality was incredible all of a sudden. I just sold 1 GM lens and plan to sell the other. I prefer the quality over the focusing issues. Sucks because I convinced my company to buy these expensive lenses and I can tell nobody was excited about the shots they were producing. Zeiss has brought my excitement back. Almost felt like quiting for the past 7 months I owned the GM lenses. Such a mistake but I'm glad I wont be making that mistake again. Felt I needed to share. -Filmmaking for automotive industry since 2012, Last camera was a FS700 w Odyssey 7Q recorder.

    The Sony A1 does have some things to make up for, such as bird eye focus during video recording. But the Sony A1 is already a powerful enough weapon. Why was it sufficient three years ago and not enough three years later? What happened to the earth in the past three years? I think that before the arrival of revolutionary technology, the Sony A1 is very adequate. With its electronic shutter, it will have an almost unlimited lifespan. Perhaps what Sony is worried about is that apart from the global shutter, what other functions does the A1ii have that can widen the huge gap with the A1? AI focus is not significantly different from the original focus. Even the global shutter of the A9iii is not significantly different from that of the A1.

    A1 is simply an AMAZING camera. Build quality on the A1 was far superior to my previous A7siii while still giving me the best of both worlds. The A1 also offers a ton of other features over the other alpha bodies. Best setup IMO is the A1 + the A7siii. That way you get the low-light capability and flip display on the A7siii and literally every other capability on the A1. Some dedicated video pros just go with an FX3 and the A1, but still the A1 is a BEAST!!!

    Hi, I want to thank you for your amazing content, and I have watched a few. I found it very helpful. so I wanna ask you do you , do you think a used A1 or refurbished one for around $4000 at now February 2024. Is worth it? I have the A7r4 and a7r5 . But I can sell one of them and get the A1. Or should I get the z8, I have seen the brand new Nikon Z8 had sales that reaching 3700$. And I have a few cheaper Nikon z primes, and I know that I could adapt a lot of FE lens, like GM , tamron etc. on the body using an adapter without losing auto focus.

    100% I used the A7iv then brought the A1 brand new in store. I’ve had it a little over 12 months and feel with the launch of the new A9 with better specs then the A1 have now shafted the A1 user. The A1 has always been the flagship camera. I’ll never buy a Sony camera again…

    They don't listen so they don't learn. Very simple. Parents don't care so the kids don't. No those kids don't deserve better schools because they don't listen. They can't get better jobs either because they don't listen. It's okay to chart your own path but if you don't want to learn or listen forget ot.
