A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I was just about to say!

I bought a Ninja V last month. Couldn't believe the audacity to ask me for another $100 for h265.

And I thought BMW were ridiculous when they offered heated seat functionality for a monthly subscription...

Mercedes was eyeing some subscription based features too. Truly dystopian imo.

Tons of Mercedes' shit is already subs based; I know cause it reminds me everytime I start my car.. :/

And you still bought the car?

Pretty sure Panasonic have done these too. I picked up a G9 a while back and there are paid firmware updates to shoot in log

I understood it when Nikon did it for a licensed video log format.

But this is loading some transparent PNG's on your camera to overlay a video feed. It's not exactly hard.
