That’s how I’ve always photographed, why my wife has always had reading material with her for those times when a “5 minute photo stop” took 30 minutes as I searched for a good perspective.

Pentax releases their first new film camera - preferably by Spring sometime.

A photographer and their money are easily parted.
If you have an effective and efficient back-up strategy of a) your original RAW files and b) the edit instructions that convert them to another edited format, why would you then spend more money to create another redundant copy of either of these key assets?

I don’t provide any more protection for my files now than I did in the past - or do now - for my negatives.

If the weather remains clear and calm this could be a nice morning light show for Christmas Eve morning over a wide area of Southern California. Fingers crossed.

and a good photo op. Unlike those of us in ‘normal weather’, photographers in SoCal can stand around for a while outside without getting cold.

There are many people who don’t chase more and more MP.

Yes Sony and others have had global shutters in industrial and cinema cameras for years, but getting enough dynamic range and low noise have always been the barriers to putting them in a consumer hybrid camera. I was told exactly that by a Top Sony Manager back in 2020 at WPPI when I asked him about Sony progress back then on a global shutter still/hybrid camera for consumers.
Sorry, but it was never a no-brainer, there were, and still are real issues to overcome.

and once Sony’s camera finally is released, we will finally know whether their processing ‘covers’ any issues.

MILC are sold as ‘small’ - but that is not true. Wide-angle lenses take advantage of the shortened reduced flange-distance, but longer lenses are the equivalence of a DSLR lens + an adapter.

I vastly prefer sharp images to the work I shot with my Nikons in the '70s. I recently revisited thousands of old slides and negatives and digitized them. Even with software enhancement, they are not as sharp as digital files. They're sharper than the prints I made 50 years ago with an EL-Nikkor enlarger lens, but not up to modern standards.
In the Age of Film, standards were different. Now we’ve become used to the “clean-ness” digital delivers; I’m just not certain it is a real improvement.

My old 1960s to 1980s Nikkors are not nearly as sharp on my camera as my native Lumix lenses... But they do have those markings.
I'm using film-era lenses on a film camera, I believe digital users over-rank 'sharpness'.

Using DOFC will always show the hyperfocal distance. However, setting it is difficult with some modern lenses, since they don’t include a distance scale.
That’s why I use ‘film lenses’ that do have distance and hyperfocal distances.

$300 does compare nicely to $550.
In what particular area do you feel the Oly is better??

The Ricoh WG-80 also is good in wetness @ about $300.

Pentax has a “Film Project” that may result in a film compact camera this Spring - then perhaps a film SLR if that works out. This supposedly is a result of their managers seeing young people purchasing old film cameras.
