  Love my Nikon D700 - I had a Sony A7Rii and a nice set of Contax/Yashica Zeiss lenses that produced incredible, detailed images. Technologically amazing, but the Sony was soulless, like a computer behind a lens, it didn't inspire me to pick it up and go and take pictures. I sold that lot and picked up my second D700, and now shoot digital and 35mm with full lens compatibility (I still have my FG-20 that I got c.1990, plus an FM2, FE2, F5... my GAS is problematic!). I struggle with EVFs, I like to see the actual scene (rather than, as someone else commented, looking through a tiny TV screen!). Thanks for your effort with the channel, sending you positive energy and best wishes for your health and recovery 🤞.

  @duringthemeanwhilst , Peter Gabriel was such a creative part of Genesis. I was fortunate to have seen them with and without Peter.

  Hello Nick. I hope you are feeling better. I am at a loss when it comes to video and making content for you tube. Most of the tech info goes over my head. Sitting here with my typical second latte in the morning. We are expecting a heat wave to hit with temperatures in the 3 digits. Not my favorite thing. I am not fond heat. So it will keep me safe inside with the artificial cooling system. I have been working with my newly acquired Nikon 105mm af macro lens and I am quite enjoying it. I seem to have better luck with it on manual focus. Cheers my friend and all the best to you.

  When I was shopping for a camera a few years back, I began by looking at DSLR bodies because I thought I'd be able to buy a really great older camera at a great price. But, I got cold feet thinking I might have trouble using a DSLR. I ended up with an X-T3 at a price that was really good and which I do really like. I do sometimes wonder about getting one of those great DSLR bodies though. Maybe some day!! Take care...

  "Reala Ace picture profile?" On what? I need something to compare it with. System 1 = OP3, System 2 = GPH12. Everything you mentioned about using the GP12 is what made me ditch it for the ACE Pro, although there is still a bit of fidgeting with it too. If I keep watching videos of you mentioning that 100mm macro lens I'll build up enough "I need one" to get the RF 100mm macro!! And yes, I guessed correctly. (But I would need footage of iguanas in order to see the real differences!) 😂💜😂 For me, image and audio quality come first and then ease of use close behind. Have a great break away from all the KZread creator fun! You are loved! 💜💜💜

  Great video Nick. I’m a fan of the pocket3 for ease of use and for me pocket ability. I keep it in its plastic Case in am able to shove it in my back pocket if I don’t have my mini bag with me. it is my problems that I had with my iPhone and my GoPros. It is a lot more delicate than the other two but a fair trade off, given the lightweight set up. Cheers brother.

  I have been considering the Pocket 3 for some time now and although I also prefer the IQ with that giveaway depth of field, I do share your concerns over the gimbal. Until my Hero 9 Black cries enough I'm going to stick with it; the quality is good enough and I don't have issues with changing batteries at all thanks to the Smallrig cage and microphone adaptor. I should follow your example and use variable ND filters because I know that some of my own footage is well below par, but most of the time I simply forget until the day I go out filming Grrr! Have a good and well deserved break 👍

• 
  @duringthemeanwhilstАй бұрын

• 
  @grahamnivenАй бұрын

  Was immediately obvious the first camera was the (vastly superior) Pocket 3 due to the background blur. My experience with DJI cameras is restricted to mini drones, I always use Auto exposure rather than manual. Ted Nemeth has some great tutorials explaining why Auto is best. Sounds contentious perhaps, but it works. Aside from being able to shove the GoPro in the sea to film fish or to film in the rain, the Pocket 3 is the clear winner 🏆 Have a nice few weeks, hope the weather gods smile on South Wales.

  Have a good summer rest mate. Now on to the comparison. There were a couple of "giveaways" if viewers were testing themselves... egs 6:00 never have I seen a go pro flip from back to front filing so smoothly, lol. 6:00 The Shadow... cough 😂 Observations. I expected the osmo to have a little better stabilisation if I am honest, it didn't seem as smooth and I thought the overblown sky and highlights on your face at times has given me a bit of a negative vibe - I have been contemplating getting another vlogging system since my old go pro died in a sun drenched Corfu (thanks youngest son) & the osmo has been top of my list - now I am unsure? I thought you had swapped cameras between 5:40 (sky blown) to 5:45 (better exposure) but obviouasly when you panned the osmo was still being used? Also the filming when you switched over to the Go Pro at 7:10 the footage looked a bit jerky? Arrrgh - I am now back to undcided... thank you 😋 atb Al

• 
  @duringthemeanwhilstАй бұрын

  thanks Al - I am looking forward to a bit of a rest. I'll prob still do a video on the music channel but they are easy compared to these. I thought about taking the "obvious" giveaways out, but then thought nope - leave them in and see who notices :-) that and the footage would be much shorter!! I picked a deliberately tricky time to film the segments with the sun getting lower, bright clouds, and me going in and out of shade to give them both a good test. I think it illustrated the difficulty in dialling in the correct level of variable ND on the Osmo with those tiny filters. precisoin is almost impossible, but on the GoPro I'm dealing with 52mm screw-in ones so much easier. yes the GoPro jerkiness and artifacting was there for all to see. in its defence it was a tricky scene to expose, me being in the shade and shooting into a brighter part of the path. all in I think over the short duration I gave them a good test, and both have their pros and cons. the Osmo scares me though with that gimbal. you can feel it fighting you when dialling in the ND - it's quite disconcerting!
