I'm really digging the DJI pocket. I'd like to shoot more video of the fam, but stable video with ILC cameras is such a PITA so I end up neglecting to do so. This seems to fit the bill

This looks like it could be a lot of fun without being too cumbersome or intrusive.

I'll bet this looks fantastic viewed large.

yeah tiny online jpegs aren't doing it justice

Same camera with my old Contax 50 AEJ

i would love it if it's waterproof like the gopro. for family travel vacation, waterproof is a must.

I keep seeing some nice sample images from the Sony FE 24mm f1.4 lens. Looks like a great lens. Anyone considering getting it?

Yes very much so, its at the top of the list for me after a 70-200 at this point...

Then ill have 24, 55, 90 and 70-200 plus 150-600 for my A7III...

I was going to grab the 24-105 but the situations id use it for id honestly be better off renting it TBH...

May go to best buy later, my best buy has a 70-200 f/4 on display and i am trying to come up with an idea on how to test if im ok with its MM or not, I'm thinking shooting the other Sony cameras there with it might give a good close approximation, sadly no GM at mine (Though i know a guy there whos shot it)

Its a gamble since primarily im worried about it for my shots of flowers and ETC, i wont be able to find THAT out until spring at this point... The GM is the safe buy but id have to wait for the 24mm a lot longer..but if it serves my needs better then id rather spend the money now and not mess with selling the f/4 and coming up with the cash to get the f/2.8 later...

Well now having watched a load of YouTube reviews I definately want to give this a try I think. Thanks for posting Carlo. I always wish I took more videos of the kids when young but never do it with my Sony bodies. I gave the GoPro a shot a couple of years ago and whilst it was ok without a gimbal it was choppy. This seems to be ideal for capturing family moments smoothly

It doesn't have a 1/4" threads, not sure how the timelapses were done. No replaceable batteries, waterproof case seems bulky, selfy sick doesn't come with it. Still very intrigued. Likely pick one up next year if I travel. Sure beats carrying a full sized gimbal

yeah you need the accessory adaptor to attach it to other things including the tripod or selfie stick. Battery is not replaceable but takes 72mins to fully charge and you get about 2 hours of 4K shooting from it. Has a usb-c so can be charged on the go. Size is the winner for me. A GoPro and a gimbal is fairly bulky to me. This slips in the pocket. Will be interested to see what the waterproof case looks like once there are images available of it, cost too. Although I doubt I would use that for the most part.

I’m not aware of anything similar to this. Is there anything or are they all larger?

Even though I own the Sigma 24mm ART I still am looking at the GM24mm. The Sigma truly produces very nice IQ but Sigma basically builds the Emount on an existing 3rd party sigma design.

I'm still into shooting different systems for different render and colours. Just picked up a GM 70-200 building my Sony gear.

Diversity!

My friend tells me there are pocketable gimbals for your phone, but the DJI software looks real slick, and phones are waterproof? Don't need it till next year, so can take time viewing options.

There's a charging case for the DJI pocket...not sure if it comes with it or not, but it'll charge it while you stow it away which is nice. Same sort of deal as true wireless earbuds....battery life in a single session isn't great, but charging between sessions while out makes up for it.

Stabilization is the mental block for me when it comes to video. I'd like to make more serious video productions, but stabilization matters here. I've got gimbals for my a7rIII, but its huge and a PITA to balance every time I pull it out or swap glass. Smartphone video cams are decent, but not great as we all know.

I think using the DJI pocket to shoot at least some of my video will get me over that mental block. I really want more video of the kids that isn't random crap my wife is shooting on her iPhone.

quick and dirty edit on the laptop from last night...when I get home I will re-edit this one and do a lot of cloning and cleaning...road signs, the homeless camps and trash...but I liked the warm color that was glowing in the clouds for a few minutes and the patchy blue sky...

My GM 16-35 f/2.8 is still in the "shop". Turns out the circuit board in the brand new lens is NFG. It causes my A7iii to have a black screen and make it appear that the camera is writing to my SD cards. This does not happen with my other glass with A7iii.

Authorized repair shop and even Sony has not really seen such an issue before. There is a request to get a complete new hardware replacement now.

I love the GM 16-35 alot but man has this been a painful experience. Luckily I use my MC11 with my Canon 16-35 f/2.8mk2. Just about to buy the new Canon 16-35 f/2.8mk3 in the meantime but ended up buying a GM 70-200 f/2.8

Sony Canada is actually pretty good for response I "think". I'll keep people posted if you care :P
