Video editing is probably the most tedious thing ever. It's nice seeing all your footage slowly take shape into something cohesive though. And I do wish Lightroom had three-way colour correction and RGB parades, they're so nice once you get used to them.

You see? Three-way colour correction and RGB parades is just going to give me a headache (if I even knew what they were!)

I watched a load of videos a while back, and while it does look very interesting, I just don't have the time to dedicate to that.

I don't find moving the focus point to be fast enough.

This and auto focus are my main concerns. I think there needs to be a dedicated mini joystick or something.

Here's a good primer on what the scopes in video show:

Colour adjustment for stills is actually pretty good anyway (Capture One is my fave), just wish I had those scopes since they show so much more info than a simple histogram. Also useful if you know your screen is out of calibration but you need to work on it, since you can just rely on your scopes to get a neutral white balance.

In single shot AF it can be really quick, especially when using the centre 9 points in decent light. As the light drops so does the speed. Continuous AF seems a bit hit and miss, I haven't tried that in anger yet. More annoying to me is that it doesn't have a proper back button focus setup (it locks focus rather than letting AF continue and you trigger the shutter as needed).

I have set the 4 buttons to be AF select, so I can get into it quite quickly. Once I've fumbled around trying to find the buttons that is! There are some sticker mods which raise the profile to make them easier to hit. I'm going to give that a go and Eve how I get on.
