and this is a good thing
not only will these be "webcams" but rather offer more user friendly video connectivity in a world where most "real cameras" are fucking retarded when it comes to video outputs and need shit like HDMI to output the video and no sane way to tether control the device to control lens focus, zoom, or aperture via software

there's no good reason why this new era of micro four thirds cube cameras can't be absolutely fucking awesome
I'm not saying it will, but it can, and it SHOULD, but I know better than to assume we'll get to witness the full potential of such a based inherent form factor/design, something will be crippling it for sure and that is probably going to be what muttmerica calls "capitalism"
and I don't mean supply/demand, real capitalism, I mean some nigger corporation having some fucking nigger patent that stifles innovation and cucks the market for decades and harms the whole thing for actual users like we always do in almost every business

at least mft lens mount is open and China (communists, who one could argue who are the REAL capitalist driving force in this nu-world ironically) might save us somehow by ignoring patents and just producing products that aren't cucked or needlessly limited for market segmentation, their QC might have flaws but it would drive other brands to compete and that'll probably save us
because no "webcam" or "camera" brand is going to actually put effort into making these as cool as they could unless someone's lighting a fire under their ass';

i'd like to add that cinema cameras are typically just dumb sensor bodies with modularity for connectivity
embrace the little cube camera it is based
we just need one that has customizable grips/LCD/viewfinder/storage/etc and they can be "real" cameras too, but even better. They can be customizable ones.';

Yes, capitalists pay living wages

That's why china is playing opium wars and exporting opioids and opioid precursors westward to try and drive up poverty in the US. That's why china has to engage in academic and industrial espionage, because everyone there is poor and dumb. That's why china was working on a bioweapon (until they lost it, lol covid 19 aka the W.I.T. flu) that they had draconian protocols in place to contain and may have been engineered to target a genetic immune system quirk more common among caucasians than other races by causing a european-specific inflammation cascade.

And the funniest fucking thing is their entire international position is due to american libs and neocons coming together to say "fuck the free market" and giving one of our enemies most favored nation status';

true capitalism wouldn't allow companies to cease production of in demand products and allow the same companies to get courts to send people to prison for trying to reverse engineer, produce, and sell similar goods to people who are demanding a similar produce the original company is outright refusing to produce
capitalism would allow the goods to still be made and make the company who said "fuck our customers, haha, not making this anymore" to no longer be able to sue others for stepping in to fill demand

(((intellectual property))) has ruined capitalism and innovation
just look at how canon has literally stopped 3rd party lens manufacturers from producing canon RF lenses
that ain't capitalism, that's evil
as evil as filthy communism
and that's just the tip of the iceberg';

it even has a rear facing selfie camera, what other camera on the market has that?';

That's called a free market economy. The business is just as free to discontinue its product as the consumer is to no longer engage with that business for failing to provide the product they require.';

'The ultracompact form factor can be used for surveillance, remote monitoring of wildlife etc.
I think it is cool. We are going towards trailcams and such not being potato quality which is nice.';

'>>4305739
No, nigger.
That's not a free market economy.

A free market would allow a third party to go "Hey ____ distontinued their hugely popular product, wow, there's a total void in the market. Let's produce something to fill the demand!"

What we have now, in the DEI Hire States of Muttmerica, is that original company that made something can choose to stop making whatever it is and PURSUE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST anyone who wants to even try to meet the demand.
The law has failed us. This isn't capitalism. This is capitalism with extra steps, and all the extra stuff is poison.
The current world in Muttmerica has made any true competition illegal. Consumers lose. Supply/demand is a myth.';

Nope, that's still the free market. You're still free to steal another person's design just as much as they're allowed to stomp you out of existence for being the bug man that you are.';
