Before yesterday, the QuickTake 100 was the last time Apple built the hardware and complete, full-fledged software for an image capture device. Even though the iPhone has been equipped with a camera from the beginning, Apple has relied on third-party developers to make its camera hardware actually useable for anything other than quick snaps. The company dabbled in camera development but shied away from jumping all the way into the pool.
But with Final Cut Camera, Apple signaled very loudly that it is shifting its perspective: it's now making the software required to take full advantage of its capture hardware. There really is no other definition of a camera company than that.

I think the guy asking about an OM-1 for taking pictures of his kids doing sports should keep in mind that MFT is way more than sufficient. Most people in the world can’t tell the difference between 20 and 50mp once photos have been printed or especially shared online as compressed jpgs. And it’s not like he’s a professional anyway. And professionals use MFT and get no complaints from their clients too. So I find this kind of thing such a nerdy conversation that in real life people wouldn’t think about for a second. If he’s using pretty long focal lengths for the sports, and especially if he wants to do wildlife, then the benefits of smaller lenses will I think quickly outweigh any loss of image quality for him.
Yeah and even if he uses higher ISOs, photoshops newest AI denoise software is insanely good. I’ve actually gone back and used it on older photos.
@@ohwhoaitzjoe And it’s also personal preference. I realised I quite like grainy, noisy images, so I stopped trying to use that kind of software. As long as it’s not colour noise, it’s ok.
I use both M43 and FF. Yes, you can produce photos where there is no perceivable difference. But it’s trivial to spot the difference when browsing through 200 photos. M43 is great for many things but claiming that a 4x smaller sensor does not come with trade offs is silly.
@@janwedek a 4x smaller sensor?? So a - 3x sensor?
@@janwedekWho said there weren’t trade-offs? It’s just that MFT is completely worth those trade-offs to me.
And for people like this guy, I can guarantee he’s not going to care about the image quality difference once he uses an OM-1. And there are probably a lot of people like that. Being put off of a better, more suitable, cheaper setup for them because of the spec-sheet wars.
You guys have ignored the Lumix rumours…which can only mean one thing!! Looking forward to your review!!!😊
What bingbong said!!
What’s the rumour? :-)
@@HesselFolkertsma new LUMIX camera, Rangefinder style and FF. Some say fixed lens.
Yet another fantastic podcast, many thanks to you three! I specially appreciated your input and thoughts on journalistic integrity. This is one of the many reasons that I enjoy your gear reviews. I feel confident that your analysis is objective and gives a good idea of the performance and capacities of the products. Please keep these independent reviews coming.
I also enjoyed the response to the printer question at the end. I thought multiple times in the past of printing my own photos. Your thoughts on the matter made me feel quite confident in my decision not to buy a large, expensive, maintenance ridden printer that wouldn't get used enough. Find a local printer and let them deal with these issues!
Look forward to your next podcast, cheers!
that tangent at 43 minutes in makes me glad i've found this podcast
The 1" type sensor under water cam that Jordan was asking for already exists. The Sony RX0 both versions do a great job underwater and have that large sensor in a tiny body. Give it a go!
@28:00 that sounds ridiculous. Only gopro can have stabilisation and horizon leveling ? Bruh
Regarding "tandem OLED", the main difference is enormous boosts to brightness (normal OLEDs are in the 200-400 nits fullscreen sustained range) e.g. 1000 nits sustained and 1600 nits peak. They're also saying something about burn-in being less of an issue and more energy efficiency since you don't have to drive the panel as hard.
Chris needs this side HUSTLE getting going while 2024 is still here: Chris Niccolls branded WRIST STRAPS. Obviously I got the idea from this episode's joke about a branded shutter release cable (probably less feasible). I remember some old episode with Chris promoting using a wrist strap instead of a shoulder strap. I totally agree and would totally buy a C.N. strap. Especially if it's not just his name on it or something (that would be silly, like merch, that's not what I'm talking about). This needs to be a clever quality product, designed properly and ofc you can charge a lot more for this. Like 50-70?? USD. They would be easy to ship worldwide (small, can hardly break). What are you waiting for, billionaire to be? I would do it myself, but happen to be non-famous, with a non-fan base. You're welcome!
can we have a fishing episode? like what about if you get somebody on the pod that has done like a fly fishing photo book or something?
Yes we can! And we will! Right Jordan? We actually may have a fly fishing themed guest lined up soon.
Death first.
- Jordan
I agree. The best backgrounds in petappixel reviews are when Jordon is filming Chris Fishing. Of course the fishing itself doesn't matter, it is strictly the location. And let me point out that the only videos of Chris fishing seems to be jn Jordans videos of camera reviews. If you search CZcams for Chris and fishing you will find an almost endless list of videos of him tying different flies, reviewing reels etc. Very few of actual fishing
Kai's Power Tools is a name I haven't heard in years. Guess my first editor was Kai's Power Goo, lol.
Dude I remember Aperture. Apple should bring it back
Same Codrin, but stricken by the flu! Thank you so much for the answer, I have a great starting point and I know where to look. Great show as always!
If I knew how much of a ballache printing is before buying my printer, I never would have bothered 😅
But ultimately the printer is for my needs only, and it is good to learn skills, even if the process is incredibly frustrating.
Another great podcast lads - enjoyed the Gundam update Jaron - and looking forward (🤞) to a Lumix review soon!
Hey - love the podcast. I do have to say for one of the few times since I've been listening, I disagree with a tech support answer. Regarding focus stacking on macro focus rails: either way produces completely acceptable results. While Jordan is correct that there is a slight perspective change from moving the camera, at macro distances in a controlled rig (like a macro focus rail), the change is no greater than the changes made by refocusing a macro lens, and any competent stacking software will have no issues with those movements. I have done lots of high quantity focus stacks for macro shooting, and have gotten fantastic results with both in-camera focus stepping using the focus motor, as well as focusing using a macro rail that moves the camera.
Additionally, for ultra-high magnification macro photography up to 5x, a focus rail is really one of the only viable solutions. Ultra- high magnification lenses are all manual focus to begin with, and don't even really 'focus' in the traditional sense. Shooting at 4-5x magnification requires incredibly precise focus steps that can't be performed by turning the ring (and the resulting handling of the lens would disrupt the camera position too much as well at these magnifications).
For instance, this image, which I took using the Laowa 25mm f/2.5-5x macro lens on my Nikon Z8 - this shot is at 4.7x magnification (width of image is around 7.5mm), and is a portion of a SuperSPARC CPU die. The camera/lens was set up on my motorized WeMacro focus rail, with focus increments of around 20 microns (that's the width of the thinnest human hairs), since depth of field is only about 50 microns deep. This is a 279 image focus stack, done in Helicon Focus, and is without a single stitching error. www.jordansteele.com/2024/supersparc_detail.jpg
I started with Corel photo paint and moved to photoshop not long after and my first video editor was ulead media studio pro which I used with my intel smart video recorder pro which was an 16bit isa card that captured 320x240 video!!!!
You are correct about the photo printer lol. One other thing, you have to keep occasionally printing. You also can't just leave it be for months and expect it to work the same even if you have not done anything to it... Canon printers, sheesh, it's like you hurt it's feelings for ignoring it and it acts up.
Cheers from Bulgaria guys! I look up to you as thousands of people do. But as a blind photographer and content creator I am quite interested what you think of Rayban Metta glasses and the Fuji Instax Mini Evo. I got the first one and I am considering the second one. My other cameras are a zve 10, iPhone 14 and an insta360 oneR.
Very interesting as ever. I think you demonstrated good impartiality. For example, whilst the podcast was sponsored by OM systems and you mention this at the start and the end, when you are answering the question about whether the chap should buy an OM camera later on you basically say they are great for stills and good light but for top performance for wildlife & moving objects / low light you might be better off with a full frame camera.
I think you’re pretty much right about Canon; those are certainly logical inferences to draw looking back over the period since some kind of ‘not the R3 flagship’ was mooted. But the R1 (question mark) is probably going to keep the rumour mills grinding away until either Canon says ‘It’s out tomorrow’ or ‘Sorry, folks, there isn’t going to be one.’ Or until the Day of Judgment, whichever is the sooner. I doubt if Canon’s happy about all that at all: at some point (maybe it’s already arrived) expectations might become so unrealistic they’re unattainable. And you may be right that Sony’s A1, Nikon’s Z9 and now the A9iii came as a shock, especially as Canon were until relatively very recently, compared to both, putting their faith in DSLR sales.
I've been looking for an old-style cable release to use with my film Leicas for months and I would instantly buy a cable release with Chris's face on it in place of the button.
6:05 Yep, my first video editor was probably Windows Movie Maker as well. 😄 Though, the two I used most early on were Premiere and Sony Vegas Movie Studio. Photo stuff is tougher to remember. Maybe Paint Shop Pro though I also was able to eventually get Photoshop v5.1 I think. I still have the disks. 😄
I started with photoshop in college after I graduated I did support for Adobe and got to use lightroom beta software. Been using lightroom since then. 17 years! Wow.
good option for underwater is the OM TG7. lots of customizations and macro capable
1:20:10 Leica made a fully ruggedized, underwater camera awhile back called the Leica X-U. It was basically an underwater version of the X Typ 113 which had a 16 megapixel APS-C sensor and 23mm f1.7 lens. I'm not a big underwater or whatever photographer, but it has always been a bit of a grail for me as long as I've known about it (but it wasn't made in large quantities obviously and it's a Leica)...if only Leica made a modern version I would be over the moon. Imagine the Q3 with the X-U's style of housing/features, that would be incredible and all you would really sacrifice is the articulating screen and maybe the EVF from the normal Q series.
The main thing holding back iPad is the containerized file system and painful workflows between multiple apps.
I started with Photoshop 4. My first video editor was probably Ahead Nero, which I used to rip CDs.
Those smirks at “will we ever see the R1” 🤔🤔🤔
1:22:04 I agree completely, Canon has beautiful cameras from yesteryear like the Canon P rangefinder, New F-1 SLR, and Canonet fixed lens cameras that would all be welcome to have digital reincarnations. Especially at a time where Canon's tech in so many cameras like the R3, R6II, R7 is so ridiculous...you may as well branch out and do something interesting and fun. I'd also love for them to do an RF mount remake of the EF 50mm f1.0 lens, a guy can dream can't he?
The 2003 North American Blackout was caused by Chris's Laptop actually.
It's safe to watch again. Fewer bathrobes! Yay!
I check the thumbnail now to make sure they (at least) are dressed
Does this mean we can get wb in the main camera app?
I want Jordan to know that "A mirrorless camera in the style of their classic 5D II" is the funniest thing I've heard all week haha
But also I agree, I work for a camera store and the number of Canonet 17s that I see being bought and sold with us makes me think that a retro style camera with Canon colors would do numbers with the modern market if they could execute it well
47:30 THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE FEATURE, wow that is something I wish my Sony Cameras just DID without having to dick around with timecode blah blah. Nice feature, Jordan really shows his video focus with his recommendations for video editing on ipad, they are frustrations which keep me from relying on the M1 iPad.
The interface needs a New DemiGodMode layer that brings the missing MacOS features, a system which can tie multiple app processes together and can access a common pool of media on the device and externally. Nice conversation.
Does anyone remember Video Toaster? I had just started out editing on a brand new fast electronics, fast fps 30 video capture card when video toaster came out. I went to PC from using a Panasonic WJ-AVE5 portable video mixer. Oh the 90s :)
My first photo editor was Aldus PhotoStyler.
I was a huge fan of Aldus Freehand over Illustrator.
Printers are the worst. I even quit a job at a startup once because I kept getting printer complaints as the IT guy.
I've owned second hand and moved within the same house a Canon pro-100 with no ink leaking. I hope it would survive an actual move though
That bathrobe episode was maybe not your best work. This episode is so much better.
I bought the iPad Pro (last year’s model) with the idea of using it as a replacement for a laptop for photo and video editing. The problem has been a lack of software. The OS doesn’t bother me for most purposes. But where is Topaz? Why does Adobe’s software lack so much functionality?
After that dismissive performance I’ll be surprised if you get another OM Systems sponsorship!
Cable releases are critical for astro especially timelapses and stacking...lol
Chris uses a cleaning pad with instructions for oiling/disassembling an SKS as mouse pad. Interesting.
Very astute! I had an SKS, not very accurate but I loved the simplicity. Sold it. Now I kinda regret it. But I have enough firearms as it is. Love the cleaning pad as a desktop mouse pad though.
@@niccollsvideo Its a good idea. I have a similar pad with the Glock parts on it but it would be too oil soaked now to double up as a mouse pad. I like the idea though and may buy another one, used just as mouse pad. I thought Canadians have to turn in most of their firearms?
Thanks for all the years of fun Jordan and Chris. This move to Peta and the direction just isn't for me. GL!
Jordan's t-shirt reminds me of my childhood pyjamas...
interesting conversation about the insta360 sponsorship, what about that you guys are sponsored by OM systems, how does that effect your opinions?!
We've talked about that a lot, actually, in previous podcasts. The short answer: it doesn't.
Companies, especially camera brands, value us because we're truthful and objective. They don't want us to stop doing that, it's actively against everyone's best interests. Which is great, because we have no intention of changing!
The FUJI rumors.
Legends.
What a good take on both ipadOS (yes it needs work but simply installing macOS desktop version is not the fix, its a new generation not us old farts) and the how scary compleet apple camera/video system is becoming slowly but surely. The day apple announces a say 'little box' with wifi+usb (m2 inside or something) with a sony sensor aps-c or ff and emount will send several companies into shock...
Smasung’sQdot OLED’s are designed for Tv. Because of that, making them in a much smaller screen would result in a very low resolution. So using that would be impossible. Apparently, Samsung didn’t want to make these displays for Apple because it was so difficult to make. LG said that they had the technology for it and apparently they did. I’m not that familiar with LG’s other OLED tech that they say here that Apple could have used. And Apple apparently, according to the graphics they used for this display, this isn’t a white OLED display it’s a RGB display. White displays lose color and saturation as the image gets brighter, so they are a poor compromise.
I also believe that you will now be able to edit directly off an external drive.
As far as the R1 goes, I remember about two years ago, I believe, when the head of Canon’s photo division was interviewed on DPReview, he was asked about a possible R1. He responded that they were working on it. But, and this was the reason he gave then, they were waiting until they could have an electronic viewfinder that would be good enough to use with a flagship camera and that there wasn’t anything at the time, or close in time, that would do.
If you move your printer and you get ink on your hands. Thats the waste ink tank whats filled up every time the printer cleans itself.
You can connect an external tank when you buy the printer (I've done that, thanks to the amazing "Jose Rodriguez Photo Printing Techie").
Apple's always been a camera maker imho, they seem to always have tried to find a right balance between leading with their own software (when third-party software developers don't go in the direction of their hardware development strategy) and retracting to let the lead to others when they feel it's back on track (think of Aperture...). Being myself a photo software developer and having been invited to their dev reunions in the past, they really try to navigate that fine line (think about the so many lacking features in Apple software concerning "basic" photography).
Went from A6300 to A7c, and would not go back to apsc. Sony 24mm f2.8, Sony 40mm F2.5 are really small for EDC. Even the size of the Sony 55mm f1.8 (better low light and portraits) is ok. And if you have no time for lens swapping Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 is pretty compact. An A7cii or A7cr would be nice for better for cropping.
I always saw my A6000/A6500 as complements for my A7C. Sure, A7C, best image quality... but then you can pair the A6000 with the Tamron 18-300 and you are getting those far long shoots that otherwise would be... complicated with a bigger lens in A7C. for me APSC is more to zooms and Full Frame more akin to primes.
"Tandem OLED:
Car entertainment first
What is new territory for Apple devices has already been tested in another entertainment segment for several years. Since 2019, LG Display has been driving forward the development of particularly robust, durable and efficient OLED displays. A new OLED structure was created under the name P-OLED, in which not one OLED layer, but two self-illuminating OLED layers are used in combination - hence the official name Tandem OLED (also dual-stack or two-stack). OLED).
The advantages of the new tandem OLED structure are enormous, at least in theory: compared to a typical single-layer OLED display, energy consumption can be reduced by up to 40 percent and the service life should ideally be extended by a factor of six . These two factors have been driving a regular tandem OLED display boom in the modern automotive sector over the past 12 months, and manufacturers like LG Display have struggled to meet production orders."
Well I did edit some photos in Deluxe Paint, but I’m not sure it counts?
I was out for a walk the other day and I heard a major squawk-fest from a murder of crows. I thought of you Jordan. (Robert from Deadmonton)😆
Thanks for calling out the PadHoles at Yellowstone.
Photoshop CS2? Well, still green behind the ears 😁. My first (serious) photo editing software was Photoshop - 2.5 … yep, before layers were introduced. Try to do serious stuff without layers, and everything was instantly baked into the image. Yeah, I know, shows how old I am …
Tandem OLED has higher efficiency / lower power consumption, higher full screen brightness, and longer lifespan as each panel isn't driven as hard.
Will you cover how Benro screwed their backers on Kickstarter?
Hoping for an iCam, phone with camera with interchangable lens
I had been hoping that Apple would make the iPad pro more useful for years and have basically given up until they put a proper file system in it. It would also really need to have more ports so that you can attach media, power, microphones, cameras etc. I still hope it will happen someday but I won't be buying another ipad until I'm sure it does, the one I have basically became a book reader and video device for in bed.
People will complain about the R1 and say they aren't buying for this or that but the real real reason is they can't afford it. I'm interested in what it will be but I'm not sure I will replace my R3 or R5 because they do everything I need now. I don't care about video or megapixels so I'm not sure what a R1 could bring that could help improve my wildlife photography.
I think Pentax takes less time to develop a camera than Canon 😂
If new ipads can be used as monitor then it will appeal for many production and editing environment.
who else does their editing while listening to this in the background?
Does Sony have a laptop in the Orient?
For the first question, does Paint and Windows movie maker count as first editing softwares? 😂
I must say samsung never fail to impress with their oled displays
In regards to the Canon discussion, remember when Sony took 5 years to release the A7s III? If you look at the specs, nothing revolutionary happened. It got an upgrade for sure. However, I think that that gap was not enough for what came with it. Therefore I think everybody's expectations are a bit over the top. By no means I'm a Canon fan by the way. The mark IV should be releasing this year. This time around, it seems more promising than last time if you ask me. But that's still a 4 year gap, which is a lot.
As someone who has worked as a photojournalist for network TV the FCC has an entire manual you can not violate when it comes to sponsors or ads or commercials or bribes. If you see your local TV people at events with great seats all the time, they are probably breaking the law. Taking bribes or "Things" as payment for anything that shows on Antenna TV is a felony. I believe the law is different slightly and a little lighter on the punishment for online or cable content.
I'm still surprised Apple doesn't have Live Streaming software in Final Cut or like a FaceTime Pro so that creators can do videos like the one you are doing right now with just iPhones and their own software...
Hello Chris
Apple has photomator pro its pretty good editing
What about Apple Photos for photo editing?
That's what I use for the bulk of my hobby and fledgling professional work
Never get Macbook drive upgrade, use a nas and then have a nvme drive to move things
The OS problem Apple has is that Macs STILL do not have touchscreen interface and iPadOS has. So apple has to finaly do thar to merge the thing.
Nothing like a camera that requires an Apple ID to use (yes, you can't download apps without Apple ID) and could potentially lock out a production team *permanently* from files.
Also, no buttons and dials for the exposure triangle, or a way to use the best lens and see yourself at the same time. Terrible battery life and storage options, full of bloat ware, and all around just more fiddly to use. Can't wait to buy the next model in 16 months time as I ride 20% battery life after a full charge from all the life cycle ending updates. 😂
Luckily it won't lock legitimate users out. You people are so rent freed by Apple that you have to invent weird hypotheticals to dig at them. Just relax. The people who use them enjoy them and it doesn't make them any less as people
Bruh, it’s not that deep 😁
Jordan could do with learning his lines haha looks like a table read rather than a podcast
A curious question: Are there people over eighty years of age who are very elderly people who own and will use modern smart phones???👍👍

R1 has to beat a83, a1, a7r5, z9... is that even possible?
Not to mention the r5, r5c and also rumored r5ii… with how good the r5/r5c is, if the r1 doesn’t completely blow out Canon’s own offerings for versatility and quality, would people spend the extra premium if they get most of the way there?
You probably meant to write a9III.
@@HesselFolkertsma happy?
@questioneverything680 yeah it's impossible to profit and live up to name
@@johntupper1369 dude, why so butt-hurt? Was just trying to help. I am going ti offer you a friendly reminder that being on the internet isn’t all about confrontation and ridicule.
Dont forget the fact that old M1 ipad pro 12.9" has already 1600nits screen. Its not going to be much different.
Whatever Canon does people are going to love it. The internet trolls are going to talk but most people will love it. Also, they are going to fly the CZcamsrs and get either good reviews or merciful ones. Canon will not be in Nikon position when both Canon, Sony, and the tubers were ut to get them. On the other hand, the economy could ruin people's perception of the camera. If it's pretty expensive and the economy is bad, tubers could be mad at Canon.
I find it a little odd that you say Canon can’t process a lot of data in their cameras. Do the math. The R5 shoots 8K 30fps as is but, if you add an external power source, it can do 8K 60fps. We’re talking video but, still, that’s a lot of data flowing through a 4 year old camera… 🤦🏻♂️
I wish they would just slim the camera on the regular iPhone model. I despise the camera size of newer iPhones. Not everyone needs to be shooting films with a phone. Make a phone that can be slim and drop the donk cameras in the normal people line.
If you want an R1, get a Yamaha. I'm not holding my breath on the Canon.
Just plug the ipad touchscreen on a MacBook, come on apple!

Canon should never release R1. This is the only way they can make sure to maintain all hypotherical advantages the rumors have.
You guys fill your mouth with journalism, and could not wait a few hours for the briefings to make the questions regarding the iPad display. Maybe you are right and it was just to avoid Samsung, or maybe is similar to what Eizo did when they stacked LCDs to get a specific result, in the case of the dual OLED could be related to burn-in (the controller could have the ability to refresh between the panels in areas that will never need the brightness but always display almost the same like the bar in MacBook). We don't know but we can ask. Finally, many people edit videos and draw on tablets. Clearly if one is trying to use the Adobe software which was designed in the 80s for PCs the interface is terrible, but if you can learn you are going to use Pixelmator, ProCreate, Photomator, and LumaFusion. The experience is beautiful, but one has to *learn* . Should Apple improve the Multitasking characteristics of the iPAD yes, but it's not a PC.
Please sony, our apple of the 1980's join up with apple. I don't need merge or even make your internal software better but talk to apple and allow somehow to join sony cameras to join their camera 'network' either by a app over usb-c/light connector or even better (we can always hope) using wifi and supporting their camera-network so we can directly connect sony cameras to the new finalcut2 (and hope more) apps inside iOS/ipadOS and lets assume later macOS.
45:54 AND consider that the Apple Camera (iPhone/iPad) will likely take BILLIONS of more Images and Movies than would ever be shot by the cameras made by Sony, Canon, Etc.
The iPad is just not that fabulous for all its compute potential, the host mentions the “Interface” and I have to agree it is the fundamental communication with the device and it just can’t do many things which MacOS does simply. Nice point to mention the INTERFACE specifically.
Of course APPLE SENSOR tech is SONY, but I believe Apple designed most the iphone lenses, thats IMAGING competence in a micro package.
The current ipad’s can do HDR, just not as bright and not using OLED. I have the m2 iPad Pro 12.9”, and I am thinking of getting the new one as well. Why? Well, what is an iPad, it’s a giant screen, so having the best screen is a great feature for something that is nothing more than a giant handheld screen.
I know some pro colorists who literally send iPads to their clients to review work, because they want them to see it on an accurate, good screen. So, it’s not that expensive, depending on how you look at it. Base price is the same as an older MacBook Air? I would rather have the iPad, and use a bigger, more powerful MacBook Pro. Let the iPad fill that gap for portable travel stuff.
Edit photos or video? Is that possible?

The tech support section is usually pretty boring since people always seem to use it as an opportunity to get a free buyer's guide instead of asking actually interesting questions.
Apple would never put the file system on ipad else they'd be killing sales for macs
A curious question: Are there people over eighty years of age who are very elderly people who own and will use modern smart phones???😒
To add to the Canon conversation. Their gamble with locking down the RF mount has absolutely not paid off. Why buy an overpriced Canon when the only good lenses you can get are also excessively overpriced L lenses.
Oh no ipad pro is easily going to snap in half
