ML RAW Gave me Epiphany--H.264 Is Opinionated

[maxotics]

Even if I never shoot RAW video again (not likely) it taught me that the truest image is what comes out of the camera to rec.709 as simply as possible.  All H.264 I realize now, is over brightened and saturated, at least to my taste.

The TLDR of the t5i/700d of Bilal Fakhouri's build, 1) don't let the sky blow out or the data writing will struggle 2) the optical stabilization of the old Sigma DC 18-200 is very good.  Even handheld I was happy with it at 200mm.  3) build seems very stable to me.  Also, battery seems to last a long time.
