Micro HiFi - Third Time Lucky? (Patreon)
Content
This week I’m finishing off the Micro HiFi Mini Series with a Denon CEOL N11 - Denon’s latest (and I suspect, last) device of this kind.
While shooting this I discovered that the only thing more difficult than making an interesting video about something that doesn’t work - is making one about something uninteresting that works perfectly fine.
You’re aware I like my spinning reels, flashing lights and bouncing needles, partially because it’s just something that I can show moving while talking about the device. Well there’s none of that going on here and there’s a lot of features to cover. I tried my best to keep things moving along, but this 40 minute video really stretches the viewers patience.
In other news I’m looking forward to being disappointed the new Sony ZV-1 camera update announcement on Tuesday. I use a ZV-1 for my hands-on shots. When I bought my camera back in April 2021 I was in two minds as to whether to hold on for an update as it had already been on sale for almost a year. It turned out the wait for a successor was far longer than I could have anticipated.
I do have a list of updates I’d like to see on a new version, but I have my doubts how many of these will appear. Based upon camera manufacturers’ recent form it’s far more likely to be a mediocre effort, with the biggest new feature being a massive price increase.
In order of importance for my requirements I’d like 4K60, a closer minimum focal distance, headphone socket, USB C power, relocated SD card door and no overheating while charging. I'm not holding my breath.
Anyway that’s all I’ve got going on here, I do need to try and catch up on emails, comments, messages, posts as they’ve all fallen behind this week while I finished this long video. Apologies if anyone is waiting on a reply.
Take care and enjoy your week.
