Sony camera versus Fujifilm

Fujifilm for professional work + travel?

I’m in the market for a new camera and looking to step up to something I can confidently use for professional work, as I’ve recently started getting more paid shoots.

The Sony A7 V caught my eye for obvious reasons, and on paper it seems like the safer professional choice. At the same time, I also want a camera that’s easy and fun to pick up while travelling or on holiday. That’s where Fujifilm really appeals to me, especially because of the film simulations and recipes and the ability to get great-looking JPEGs without always having to edit afterwards.

My main concern is professional use. How well does Fujifilm hold up for things like weddings, events, portraits, and other paid work, especially when it comes to autofocus, low-light performance, reliability, etc.?

Are any of you using Fuji professionally? If so, which body are you using, and have you ever felt limited compared to a full-frame Sony/Canon/Nikon setup?

I’d love to hear some real-world experiences, especially from anyone using the same camera for both professional work and travel.

2 SRS-XB100's or one good speaker?

Ok so I need some help deciding what to do here.

I want to get a Bluetooth speaker and I'm deciding between either 2 SRS-XB100's or one good speaker for a similar price as I might pay for both of these. What do yall suggest?

I've seen people saying that 2 SRS-XB100's is nice because of the stereo mode, but whats it like in comparison to one speaker? BTW I've never had an SRS-Xb100.

I'd mostly be using it for work (on my desk, I work remote, maybe other places in the house), in the yard maybe while grilling and sometimes at the beach.

Any suggestions appreciated, thx!

XBR-65X850D TV Won't Play 4K

I KNOW this TV is 10 years old so maybe what I want isn't possible. But here's my story.

I had a 4k Roku. My friend runs a Plex server and it would never let me play anything 4k. We figured it was the Roku. So I bought a 4k Onn device. Still won't let me play 4K movies/shows.

I keep finding stuff online to change the settings on the external input to allow enhanced formats but I don't have that option in my settings anywhere. Even the manual on the Sony website tells me:

"Set [HDMI signal format] to [Enhanced format] by selecting [Settings] — [External inputs] — [HDMI signal format] — the HDMI terminal you want to set."

I don't have external inputs as an option in my settings. I have "channels and inputs" but nowhere in there is anything about HDMI signal format.

What the hell??

Am I just doomed to watch 1080p on my supposedly 4K tv? Is it 4k for pictures only? I'm so confused.

Sony Nex 5 vs 5R dilemma

Hi! I’ve recently bought a Sony Nex 5, with a 18-55mm lens kit, for about 120 euros all together, in nice condition. I have the option to return it still. Recently, I’ve seen an offer for an Nex 5R, for only 83 euros, with its only problem being a non functional touchscreen, which isn’t important for me. It’s also in nice condition, although without an objective. I think the 5R looks like a nice upgrade, it has WiFi, flip out screen, and more megapixels, but what I’m most concerned about is the build quality. The original Nex 5 has an awesome build, and I’ve read the 5R isn’t so much. Should I return the Nex 5 with the objective, or buy the 5R frame and sell the original ones frame, or should I just not upgrade at all? Thanks in advance!!

Earlier Xperia 5 v! Now XPERIA 10 vii or Xperia 1 vii?

My Xperia 5 v doesn't have any more updates. Have other wise been very satisfied. Camera and battery are the most important. Is Xperia 1 vii worth the price? How is the camera in 10vii in comparison with 5v

If the next Xbox has a disc drive and PS6 does not, would you make the jump?

I've been a PS fan since PS1 - I only got a Switch 2 and Xbox Series X with current gen. It is worth saying that I have been an aggressively physical owner to date. With that said, I genuinely think I'd make the jump if PS6 really launches without physical media anymore. I don't judge those who don't care about it that's perfectly fine, but it's just not for me. Unfortunately Sony's exclusives don't really justify the console purchase alone any more.

Sony TV KDL-23B4050

The other day I came across this TV. For a TV from 2008, it's in really good condition.

The only thing that bothers me is that I can't get rid of the banner that shows the input and resolution.

Does anyone know what I can do to remove it?

Sony X85K audio output issues

Recently started having problems with the TV constantly switching audio sources between the in-built speakers and my bose smart soundbar 600.

I resolved this in the past by doing a complete reset of both products but it is back to doing this again. I ruled out the soundbar by moving it to a different TV (LG) and it had no issue.

I dont want to invest in a receiver to handle the audio processing and would rather the tv just passthrough the sound. Any tips and tricks?
