I think it looks especially good with the first 2, where we have lots of texture to play with. In that sense, I think it feels more at-home with the backgrounds there.

Yep, that's exactly what my A7S suffered from and the repair cost wasn't worth it, with no guarantees to not break again. I am not sure if that's changed in recent times.

For the high res sensor part, let me correct myself. I would say the photos weren't materially different just because of the resolution. I am sure there are a few moments where cropping isn't as horrendous 26 MP -> 14MP before where as now I'm at 40 MP -> 23MP. On a photo by photo comparison the photos are pretty close.

I upgraded from an X-T3, I think its honestly fine. I used a Sony full frame before that and I enjoyed it till the IBS broke on a bouncy hike (not dropped).

There's definitely a different look to full frame, that I miss. And I was eyeing the GFX-100 at the time of purchase, but I don't think that'd work for a show, also lens $$$$

But here's what I'm enjoying:

  • Color science, I do very little editing with the preset profiles and recipes online
  • Dials galore (I can fly by settings easily in and out of the UI)
  • Processing Speed (particularly on the X-T5, that's some of why I upgraded), I don't think I've met the buffer limit while shooting any live shows
  • Build, I think I've tossed the X-T3 about on travels and out and about town, held up great, looks worn and loved.
  • the IBS is pretty killer on the 5, I don't do video anymore but its wonderful when I shoot lowlight
  • Battery life is great, I haven't bought a 2nd battery yet

Also to comment on the 40MP sensor, its not much of an upgrade, I wouldn't say it looks noticeably better. I do only use one Fujinon lens that "makes use" of the full res, but I do crop quite a bit and haven't had an issue.

I hope that helps a bit.

Thanks for the critique!

2 tough call, I felt like it gave a flea market feel if I raised the saturation too much, I could have probably played with vibrancy more. Definitely a very desaturated scene in general though

3 I enjoyed the maximalist quality of everything here, sort of a lost in the crowd feeling

Can I kill efficiency mode and get Chrome working again?

You probably got here because the default sort is Local, basically /r/all.

As for the other comment, yes - phones being out for the entirety of a show is a shame, and yes that is technically not your comment.

Addressing the other point. I am a photographer, and one that has:

  1. Received express permission from the artist and/or their management
  2. Received permission from the venue, where professional equipment is not allowed on premise, without Pt. 1.
  3. Rather silly, there is typically and quite literally a zone dedicated to photographers. This is on top of the 3 Song Rule, to take photos for the first 3 only, no flash.

I can't say other photographers follow these rules, neither do all fans. But I had a great time, engaged with the artist, and stayed out of the way.

I really enjoyed Dissidia! I wasn't much of a fighting game player but I found the gameplay loop really enjoyable. I loved the mini-game-esque coliseum and story mode as a reprieve from just grinding battles.

Also the secret unlockables 👌

Just this last weekend I spoke with someone about Dissidia, wild how great the PSP was!
