Respectfully, its not that simple. I dont think you know what you are talking about.


I think it's better to steelman rather than assert ignorance on the part of the person you're replying to.

It is true that people these days associate the DSLR form-factor with professional photography, despite the heavy use of rangefingers by those such as Robert Capa etc not that long ago. And it is also true that both rangefinders and mirrorless ILCs avoid the need for retrofocus designs which in theory should make for higher-quality lenses at the same weight, or similar quality and a lower weight.

As for "better" this is often a matter of preference and it's okay for people to have different preferences. For me personally, I wish there was more experimentation in ILC form factor, it seems most (with a few notable exceptions) ape the pentaprism hump even if they don't contain one.


I think it's easy to see what they mean, even if you don't agree with them. I think it puts too much emphasis on glass as there's so much more that goes into getting a shot. I do pick up my old film cameras every now and then for enjoyment, but if I have to get a shot, I'm always taking the newest thing I have. It's hard to beat multiple stops of stabilization in the lens and the body along with the black magic of modern sensors.


Alas, the people aren't ready for Ken Rockwell Theory.


Sony doesnt make DSLR cameras, there is no 'reflex mirror'. These are mirrorless cameras, or Interchangeable Lens Cameras E-Mount (ICLE) as sony calls them


Hows that boot taste?


I dunno, Linux does what i tell it to do, where as i have to constantly fight Windows for really simple UI things that should be a given.

For example, my windows explorer keeps opening at some where location and shape, no amount of tinkering under the hood has successfully made it open full screen all the time. Ubuntu on the other hand just keeps it at what ever i set it at, because of course it does.

Little things like that are the only reason i switched the linux as a daily driver.

I keep the windows partition active because there is no linux alternative for photoshop and lightroom.


Im still dirty about the NBN. Every now and then i go back home to visit and are rudely reminded that the network speeds suck. What do you mean i have to in wait for things to download? What do you mean I'm the the biggest city in the country and are on a copper line getting 5 Mbps....


Shame my mortgagor doesn't accept fulfillment and meaningfulness as payment options.


The author is so out of touch its maddening. The article is full of out dated and offensive generalizations.

"I find most convincing is that Mangione could be suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. I’ve met a lot of people like this in McDonald’s, because the franchise is often one of—if not the only—place in the “real world” where they can go, grab a cup out of the garbage can, sit at their corner table, and fit in, at least for an hour or two, without encountering too many dangers. It becomes, for many deeply troubled people, their only lifeline to normal society."

This is so offensive to anyone who is living with mental health challenges, and to anyone living in this late-stage capitalist society. Oh your questioning the status quo and killed a man responsible for one of the biggest death for profit schemes ever? You must be a crazy person who eats out of the garbage bn.


I would argue they already do mistreat their citizens...


Some feedback - your market is undoubtedly going to be coffee nerds, and we are instantly turned off by the video of the very unappealing shot being pulled on this page https://velofuso.com/trefolo.

If any situation ever called for the early 2000's ideal expression of espresso, this is it. Break out the double city roast, grind it fine and pull some ristretto shots with tiger stripes. It might taste trash but it will make for much better marketing.

Kudos for making something cool. 5 second preheat is awesome.


In defense of urban planners, we get good design and want to see more of it, but are usually beholden to the elected officials in the municipality who we require to vote in and ratify new design standards, or funding for projects.
