Would You Buy A $4,500 Sony a7S IV?! (Here’s Why I Think It’s Coming)
The FX5 can't take photos, and I think that one decision tells us exactly what Sony does next: an a7S IV with the FX5 sensor, a built-in viewfinder, and a price around $4,500.
Will The iPhone 18 Pro Overheat?! I Filmed 4K 60 Next To The 17 Pro In The Texas Sun!
I recorded 4K 60 on the iPhone 18 Pro and 17 Pro side by side in the Texas sun. Both stopped at exactly eight minutes, but only one kept a usable screen.
Don’t Buy The Wrong M5 Mac Studio! (Here’s What I’d Buy For Video Editing)
The M5 Mac Studio I'd actually buy for video editing at three price points, why Apple's 40-core GPU upgrade really costs $600, and the $3,800 point where you should stop spending on an M5 Max.
A Filmmaker’s Review Of The iPhone 18 Pro: No More ND Filters!?

Sony has not said a word about an FX6 Mark II, but based on what they just shipped in the FX5, I am betting it is coming with internal ND filters, IBIS, and a $6,999 price tag.
Don’t Buy The M5 Pro Mac Mini For Video Editing! (Here’s What I’d Buy Instead)
The M5 Pro Mac Mini has the exact same media engines as the $899 base M6, so here's the Mac Mini I'd actually buy for video editing at three different price points.
The $10 Mod Apple Doesn’t Want You To Know About (M5 MacBook Air)
The M5 MacBook Air has the same chip as the M5 MacBook Pro, but no fan, so it gets heavily thermal throttled. Here is the 10 dollar thermal pad mod that got me a 32% faster Lightroom export, plus the honest video editing and gaming numbers.
My name is Matt Johnson and I love making videos, eating tacos, and talking about Jesus!
