I picked up my iMac on Friday night and I’ve been getting it set up. I’m so happy to have a desktop again. Not just for the computing power but for the stability and the permanent set up it provides. It makes keeping all computer related things and work in one place and removes the instability of a workspace you get with a laptop. Plus the giant screen makes working on projects so much easier.

I’ve played around with editing some 4K video form my new camera and this thing had no problem keeping up with it. My MacBook just couldn’t handle 4K and it would have made the purchase of my new camera pointless.

I’m so impressed with the video quality on the Sony camera I got. It gets such a sharp image and the quality is so high. I’m very glad with the decision I made. I spent a lot of time looking at reviews on YouTube and deciding between the three different models Sony has to offer. The reason I chose the a6300 is the 4K video. The a600 is still a great camera but it doesn’t have 4K. Just recently the prices dropped so I decided this is my one chance to get this camera so I’m going to splurge and get the 4K. And man am I glad I did. Watching the video back on my iMac at 4K just gives the image so much detail.

I also ordered an additional lens for the camera and I can’t wait for it to get here. This lens will give me the ability for depth of field so I can make some good looking video. This will also give me a better artistic look when I do photography. Now the first one I ordered got lost in shipping but it’s something I just have to have so I reordered it and hopefully it arrives this week.

I also got this really sick tripod (I know it sounds really geeky) but this thing can go above my head and has an arm that can fold down so the camera can the pointing straight at the ground. Plus the construction feels really solid. And it’s really quick to set up and change to whatever I need.  I’m really excited about this purchase because it offers so much diversity with what it can do. This is something that will make changing between shots easy and less complicated then the cheap tripod I originally got.
