Video: Two Thrifts And A Computer Store (Patreon)

As noted in the video this was just intended as an exercise to test a new camera, but I ended up with enough footage to make a video. I was a little uncertain whether I'd get any weird looks walking into stores with a camera around my neck, though that's probably just a memory of the early 2000s, post-9/11 era; probably, with us being this many years post-vlogging and post-cameraphone, no employee anywhere is going to care about bugging someone over this.

I need to work on my hand-stabilization, since the in-body can't fully keep up with walking, but otherwise I am pretty satisfied with the camera, and the lens is _amazing_. I know it's easier to make ultrawides on MFT but still, f/1.7 is _ridiculous_. Check out that night footage near the end at the uwajimaya - it was _dark out_. The sky was barely perceptibly blue; I didn't even realize until editing that I had let the camera _overexpose_, and it still looked pretty damn good, with minimal noise. Had I adjusted my AV comp it would have been even better. A GH5 is no Red, but it's new to me. I cannot wait to Do Things with this camera.

I probably will upload a Crab Rave Cut later
