After building this from source to try it out, I agree 100% with your assessment. The fact that I could barely keep it running for more than a few seconds without it dumping core does not indicate much attention paid to memory safety. I didn't debug into any of the core dumps, because I now regret the time already invested. That level of instability in 2026 is completely avoidable and inexcusable.

Exactly. "Widowed man dates new woman 3 years after wifes death." This is a story, why, exactly?

What a wasted opporunity.

Unless you're Amazon, is it really worth developing a your own processor for internal use?

So, is all open source software malware, or just all crypto mining software?

Manual focus with focus peaking using a mirrorless camera is a huge advantage for mirrorless in a lot of situations. And makes old manual focus lens a lot of fun.

I ultimately gave up on DSLRs and went mirrorless because software. With the advances in processing power, giving advanced software real-time access to the entire sensor opens up a lot of possibilities now (real-time level curve, etc.) and in the future. Battery life is still better on DSLRs, but the size of my Fujifilm system and lenses is just amazing. It's hard to see how anybody could really miss film with a 40MP APS-C like the XT-5.
