I stared in Audio over 20 years ago but quickly got into video shooting and editing. in Audio I started with Cool Edit Pro (now Audition) and Pro Tools. Nowadays i'm using Studio One for most of my audio work, sometimes Adobe Audition. In Video I started with AVID Media Composer and Premiere but started to use Final Cut Pro with Version 6... used Premiere Pro with version CS6 ... but now I'm 99,9% FCP. In Terms Video Camera equipment Sony VX1000 / PD150 and the legendary Panasonic AG-DVX100. and several other Cameras shooting HD on tape or card. My 1st Video-DSLR was the Canon 550D / Rebel T2i ... after that 60D and 70D, but after that I switched to Sony and was one of the 1st Sony a7s owners in Germany. Nowadays I regularly use Sony A7sIII, Sony a6700, Sony a7rIII, Sony FS... and even my iPhone 17 Pro Max. Mostly shoot Video and Photo for Lifestyle, Automotive, Urban Art/Graffiti, Corporate and so on.

Of course Sony released a really really great camera but of course had to miss a few essential things that would make it the perfect camera.
- no AF and IBIS in anamorphic desqueeze
- no Photo mode
- 32 bit float only with the handle
- essential updates august 2027

just noticed with the iPhone 17 Pro (Max) 4K 100fps or 120fps does not work with the 13mm lens only 24 and 48… pretty strange and sad … since 100fps was one key feature for me and 13mm would have been best for slow mo shots 🤨🤷🏼♂️ #iPhone17Pro

well what nobody talked about: If you want to shoot ProResRAW with the iPhone 17 Pro (Max) stabilization is not supported and not working (in the Blackmagic Camera App as well not) 😅🤷🏼♂️

well seems like it was not my best month
damaged my workhorse Tamron 17-70mm lens (400 EUR repair), cracked my MacBookPro M1Max screen which is not working anymore (1200 EUR repair) and shattered and bend my NISI AIR UV (which is now stuck and dented my Sigma 24mm 1.4 which is now half the value … oh and today I have no hot water at home so only a quick and unpleasant cold shower … oh well … at least my rented @LeicaCameraGlobal Q3 43 will arrive tomorrow two days earlier 😅✌🏻😎
