Thanks for watching, and thanks for responding! My near-term plan is to start posting the first view to the other channel as I wrap-up the upcoming videos I've got in motion here.
For me its interesting to look at your presentation experiments in combination with interesting topics and logicaly layed out storytelling. Mft video is tough and convincing. Looking forward to tech-in-real life reviews (as a passionate GAS patient) and your experience of growing up a small photographer (as a father of two kids)
Thanks! I hope to be able focus more on developing my kids' photography in the future. Thanks for sticking with me until then :) It may come as a spoiler, but I've also redoubled my stance on MFT in 2021; the portability compared to full-frame makes the telephotos much more usable while managing kids, and the cost to buy-in presents such a great value.
It's more nuanced than that; but I should have just trusted my own argument :) It's clearly better in some areas, the OM-D E-M1X is better in a few; the big difference (besides the price) is that I can hold and shoot 600mm-equivalent with one hand while walking in deep snow with my 2-year-old twins. The R6 is too unwieldy to do that. I've also grown to trust the E-M1X a bit more in the cold (it's been below -10C/10F a few times recently), although fundamentally with proper planning and handling I'm sure the R6 would work as well.
I found your channel via m4/3, and as a Linux uses (not phone - yet). I would like to hear/see more about which programs you use for image processing - I myself use RawTherapee + Gimp, but would really like to be able to use the "new" AI programs, such as DXO PhotoLab and Topaz Denoise AI, without having to dualboot to a Windows platform.
I use Darktable, pretty much exclusively for editing. Before Darktable, I used GIMP with dcraw/ufraw plug-ins (pretty much interchangeably). There's a lot you can do with Darktable (with respect to noise reduction included), although it takes more than a bit of a learning curve to really understand the options available and what works well for you/a given picture. It doesn't do (as far as I know) any sort of subject-aware denoising though, which would be neat. There are a few additions to the workflow, for instance somewhere in the DT stack I believe it mis-recognizes the Hasselblad CFV-50 (CCD version) but I've not been using it enough lately to dig in; in the cases where I do use it I've got an awkward OSX-based flow of Phocus (cull)->Adobe DNG (export)->Darktable (import, manipulate). Darktable is pretty well optimized for OpenCL, which as far as I know isn't available on the new Apple M1 machines (as they don't have discrete graphics, and Apple's deprecated OpenCL generally, in favour of Metal)--so an upcoming video (my M1 Mini just arrived this past week) will take a look at its performance--I've seen mixed things online, but not enough context in those messages to understand what's causing the difference. I don't know what the result will be yet, so I'm looking forward to doing that video!
@@NottaPro I've tried Darktable, but I think it has a confusing menu structure. I have compared the two and as far as possible features are concerned there are not that big differences. As for Apple's new M1 machines, it looks exciting - however, I just got a new laptop (i7-9750H with GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q - not bad) so it takes 2-3 years before my economy allows for a replacement. But I'm definitely looking forward to your 'look at it'.
I like the reasoning I and share the Linux interest also. Will subscribe to the other channel as well. Keep posting

@@NottaPro I've never thought about using any telephotos of this focal length - may be because of size and price really
