We bought a cheap flir for Android way back when that was new. I bet they’ve gotten both way better and cheaper.

They are planning to eliminate all feed-in compensation

That can’t be right???

Strange to hear Germany doing so poorly, even under Merkel Germany was doing just fine on building renewable capacity.

It’s amazing how good modern cameras are in low light.

It’s funny how Trump looks up to Putin, and how they are equally stupid.
They could hold a press conference together, where they both stupidly persist with the claim that everything is going according to plan. While neither is making any progress. 🤡

No sorry, I went off topic a bit.
But we still typically have more power in standard sockets with 2300W being the minimum.
So not quite as close to the limit of a normal household socket here. But it’s still crazy.

There are still situations where mirrorless cameras are not as ideal.

In similar price range?

Germany is still progressing, just at a lower speed. I agree that’s not good, but it is nothing compared to how Trump has prevented the building of new Wind turbines that were billion dollar projects, and had ZERO federal spending. He just does it out of spite.

I bet the German government doesn’t prevent privately funded or state projects. They may not be the best on renewables, but they are not insane like the situation is in USA.

OK, that I can understand, it may feel subjectively nicer, but there are things you can’t do technologically with an SLR, like for instance utilize the light sensitivity of the digital sensor for low light photography.

As a European I can’t help smirking a bit, we have 2300 W on a single 10 amp connection.
Usually kitchen has its own even in small apartments.
Most have 400V 16A available in the kitchen, allowing for instance our stove to use up to 6400 W! With induction stove, we can give so much power that a ceramic frying pan cracks around the edge!! And not the cheap ones.
It’s absolutely insane how fast you can boil water, way way faster than anything gas. It’s also way more energy efficient as a gas stove waste approximately 55% on average, and even more on high settings, as the heat simply escapes around pots and pans.

OK I guess i went a bit besides the topic, I just find it amazing how powerful a modern stove is. 😋

Above 80% is all year total.

The latency between what you see and when the picture is taken is mechanical, using the viewfinder on a SLR gives zero latency while using it, but when you press the trigger, there is a latency you will never see.
With a high FPS screen for the viewfinder, the latency can easily be way below human perception.

in western countries, this reality is fought very hard at the moment

No only in USA.

Completely irrelevant to the issue. Moving away from using mirrors has nothing to do with what lenses you can use.

DLSRs are a budget option usually compared to a Mirrorless Camera

No SLR is the ones with the mirror. DSLR are digital with a mirror. And they are definitely not “budget”, they are the high end. Except today on a high end digital camera the mirror is not necessary as you can use the sensor for the viewfinder instead.

Yes they can. the technical difference is only in how the viewfinder works.

You are probably comparing a high end DSLR with a low end digital camera.
There is no reason why there should be noticeable latency on a high end digital camera. In fact the response time can be even shorter than with DSLR that has a mechanical mirror.

Local today global tomorrow.

Exactly.

That’s why it will never IMO be feasible until we have surplus electric power that it can be made with. Power that would otherwise be wasted.

True, but with a constant 100% plus generation from renewable, there obviously wouldn’t be any fossil fuel burned to generate electricity. Here we are already at 80% of our total yearly electricity generated by renewables.
When that reaches 100%, it can be done by utilizing surplus at peaks to generate hydrogen, exactly to completely prevent any use of fossil fuels.

I don’t see the whole worlds energy consumption going purely green within the next 100 years.

100 years is a very long time, back in the 70’s it was considered a lofty goal to achieve even 10%, and now we are at 80!!
I don’t think you have historical perspective.
Personally I think within another decade we will surpass 100% here, and have the ability to export a lot of surplus renewable energy.
I was also mostly thinking about civilized countries, not so much for instance USA.
