In the last years one of the most intense discussions online is whether to produce sharp clinical footage or soft footage on video productions, brands offering sharper clinical lenses with more pegapixels and other brands offering a more stylistic soft image with “character”, and as usual, influencers and so-called experts tell their audience what they […]
After addressing the content creator paradox, showing that most content creators need more from their gear than Hollywood productions, I decided to make a wishlist of what I think the so-called “perfect camera” for video content creators would need, in order of priority with a small explanation: Features that aren’t a deal breaker but would […]
Recently, I saw some influencers and YouTubers complaining about the expectations some users had regarding the lack of features on the release of the Sony A7 V.

Since I saw The Batman (2022) in theaters, I thought the image was far too dark, I could barely see the characters’ faces at all. At first, I assumed it was a problem with the theater’s projection. Then I bought the Blu-ray and watched it on an HDR TV, and it was still way too […]
