TV manufacturers unite to tackle the scourge of motion smoothing I love this. I am a little annoyed that "we won't screw up the video by default" is now going to become a marketing feature instead of the default, but whatever. Next step: getting directors to rally together to force TV makers to stop tracking what we watch and selling that data. In the meantime, here's Jon Porter explaining what Filmmaker mode does: The UHD Alliance, a collection of companies who work together to define display standards, has announced Filmmaker Mode, a new TV setting that's designed to show films as they were originally mastered, with as little post-processing as possible. Although the mode will affect multiple settings like frame rate, aspect ratio, overscanning, and noise reduction, its most important element is that it turns off motion smoothing. Sony announces super fast A6600 and A6100 mirrorless cameras I know they're completely different classes of camera, but I have to think there are some vloggers out there who impulse-purchased the RX100 VII because it has a mic jack and eye-tracking autofocus and are kicking themselves a little bit right now. Cameron Faulkner has the details: It also has Real-Time AF tracking and the new Real-Time Eye AF tracking that originally debuted in the A6400, which we reviewed earlier this year. Sony has added a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is a first for the company's alpha series of cameras. Fossil 'Gen 5' smartwatch review: best of a Wear OS situation I reviewed, and genuinely like, the Fossil Carlyle and would happily wear it every day. But that doesn't mean I think you should buy it. It's a cleaner, less-annoying software experience than a Galaxy Watch for non-Samsung owners, but $295 for Wear OS is not a good investment. Qualcomm's 3100 processor has not been the smartwatch savior we were hoping for. I honestly have no idea where Google goes from here. Fitbit announces the new Versa 2 smartwatch, and the affordable Aria Air smart scale It figures: mere hours after I posted a review of the Fossil Gen 5 Wear OS watch, Fitbit announces the Versa 2. It still doesn't look great to me, but hopefully it's nicer in person than it is in pictures. I'm also hoping that Fitbit put a little more work into the software and the more traditional "smartwatch stuff," on top of its fitness features. Android users have really stark choices when it comes to smartwatches. It's a market that's just sitting there, waiting to be taken. At this point Google should just release this thing: Pixel 4 allegedly appears in photos leaked on Telegram Apple Music for Android beta brings Chromecast support - 9to5Google Think about this for a minute: Apple is trying way harder to make a good music app on Android than Google is right now. |
