I’ve been using ai imaging in my pipelines for over a year now. Is it good? Incredibly so! But It does require some patience with language and iterations.
It also samples from existing images in a sense compositing the final result.

I’ve been using it to create style frames and reference footage which would normally take me much longer. Some people will ignore it, some I’m sure will love it and what it does, some will fear that it will take their jobs, and the rest of us just figure out how to adapt and use it in combination with more traditional creation tools.

I personally love the fact that it lets me concentrate on spending more time in the parts of the process that I enjoy.

Have any UHH People used these programs for making photos from words? Please show us.

Just released comments about Speech to photo programs. Sell your cameras get modern!! Talk about the photos you want.... just released not classic speech to text, rather speech to photo!! Amazing! The more these programs are used the better they will get because the reservoirs of images will increase. Much as Tesla's driving programs the use is fed to a mega-computer, resolved and stored for use in the future. Google has a mega-mega-computer system.

Imagined-Images ... "Google’s answer to the wave of text-to-image models whose creations have flooded the internet this year. But unlike those released by Meta, Microsoft, and Open-AI, the internet giant is taking a cautious approach by offering users a limited taste inside its AI Test Kitchen.

As with DALL-E, Make-A-Scene, and Stable Diffusion, Imagen uses A.I. imaging technologies to turn short text descriptions into unique photorealistic images. Google, however, ranks its model as best-in-class, stating in a paper released in May that “human raters strongly prefer Imagen over other methods.”

I LOVE my Fuji. I have the X-T2 and was about to trade for an X-T4 until the X-T5 came out (40MP vs 26MP). The color is outstanding - typically one of Fuji’s strong points, and the AF is excellent. My question is whether to buy it with the “kit” lens (which is quite good) or consider the body only and pick something like the 16-80 for a “walk around” versatile lens. I sold the 18-55 and bought the 16-80 f4 and have been very pleased with the results. I also really like some of the fast primes such as the 50 f2 or f1.2, the 90 f2 and the 50-140 f2.8. Fuji has a very comprehensive lens line up. They are as good as my Canon Ls in terms of performance, and they are adding more all the time. As you can tell, I’m a fan of Fuji. Even though I’m keeping my Canon FF system, it’s the Fuji (size and weight) that I pick up more and more when I head out.

The X-T2 is one of the best cameras Fuji has ever built! I miss mine.

I shoot mainly Sony professionally, but I do integrate my Fuji X-H2s and ABSOLUTELY love shooting with it. There is something very special when it comes to Fuji for me. I also just pulled the trigger on the X-T5 and can’t wait to start using that!

My Sony’s and cinema rigs are clinical tools that get the job done. My Fuji’s are what keep me interested in shooting, and bring me significantly more joy.

So.. I was a NIKON girl forever - but before that I was Fuji (I've been in the business for awhile and loved my FUJI) Well, I got out of weddings and portraits, sold all my gear.

I saw this package: https://www.adorama.com/ifjxt5sk1.html
Which I think I'll buy.

I gues my question is - I'm no longer needing all the gear as I am not full time anymore, rather I do more art and personal projects. Can I hear from the Fuji folks - how is color - how is focus on their latest gear?

I was also going to buy Sony - but then I held off. I'm back to being a newbie and confused. :) Help!

My 15-year-old granddaughter is going to London for a week on a school trip. She has been advised to bring a point and shoot camera. I don't know what is available or what would be appropriate. I would welcome your advice.


I would look at either a Panasonic LUMIX LX100 or Sony RX100

You could get the following for about $1500
Sony a6000
Sony FE 24-240 f3.5-f6.3
Godox TT350S Flash

I would also recommend the additional cost of:
2-3 extra Sony Batteries as those don’t last long
And maybe 2 Sandisk 64g SD cards
(Promax, Sony, or another reputable brand would work as well.)

Or…

Fujifilm Used X-H or X-T
Fujifilm XF 18-135 f3.5-5.6
Godox TT350F

Also you would want to pick up 3-4 spare batteries and sd cards as well.

Any left over money for each of these might be well spent on a prime like a 24 or 35 (35mm to 50mm equiv). That would help capture in low light situations.

Why dont YOU pay adult level attention to your so-called "recent" topics page ?


This is my last response to this. It was at the top of my feed because there were responses from the same day before I responded (not that you’re worth me having to validate anything to you). You are doing nothing but being a worthless troll. I know you LOVE trying to cause as much trouble as you possibly can but, Maybe mind your own business and not be such a loser.

Have a nice life. I’m done with you and responding to you as your being here is completely pointless to me.

Oooooooh .... "the question of the OP".

Do you think he still cares seven years later ? Do you think the poll remains a relevant picture of users choices ? Its been a verrry busy seven years of tech development.

BTW, "We" is a plural pronoun.




Now you’re just coming across as a grumpy troll. Congrats! It showed up at the top of my main topics page. I simply responded to it. You’re doing nothing but wasting my time with your pointless comments. So why don’t your “we” just move along and skip to something you actually care about instead of acting childish here?

Tamron had a 17 to 35 mm lens and a 35 to 150 lens Do they still make these two lenses


I own the 35-150 f2-2.8 it’s phenomenal! But still pretty hard to find!!! They do still make them, as it’s a new lens. You should be able to pickup the Tamron 17-35 as well. I was trying to decide between that and the Sigma 16-28 f2.8 as they are both the same price but went with the Sigma over the Tamron.

I realize, to gain full benefit of the RF system, you need to go with RF lenses, particularly the weight reduction. My question is does the EF to RF adaptor work on the Sigma and Tamron that I currently own?

I can understand Canon's stance. They spent the R&D money to bring this mount to market so, why shouldn't they maximize their profits? This is the same argument Big Pharm makes. I don't like it but it what it is.

Okay I should stop now before I go off on how restrictive our 'free market' is.

If you get the EF to RF adaptor, any EF lens would work on the RF body. And should work just as it does on an EF body.

I’ve now seen a few other “creators” including Ordinary Filmaker who have all supposedly spoken to Canon reps and have been told that Canon has no future plans to allow third party glass.

And what I’ve seen seems to be targeted mostly to Tamron which would make sense as Sony owns part of that company.

My first "real" camera was a Pentax K1000 that with a 50mm lens that my mother bought me for my 18th birthday and was about $125.00


Me too! I still have mine and shoot with it! Great camera!
