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.

paid firmware updates... wow
Took a page from Atomos’ handbook
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.
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
And I thought BMW were ridiculous when they offered heated seat functionality for a monthly subscription...
Tell me this isn't real, holy fuck.
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?
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.
