Yesyesyes! I'm going to Japan in 2 months and have been waiting for this to get out in time for my travel. Going to be my first m43 and I hope it'll be my way back into photography

    How would they otherwise increase their profits? Think about the poor shareholders if they have to lower their profits to keep people safe. How are the shareholders going to survive without numbers going up.

    Super cool. However I think they are missing a crusial optimizarion strategy. In morning rushhour. More elevators should be dedicated to only going up and never pick anyone up on the way down. And fill up a single dedicated cart for downwards traffic as much as possible to maximise utilisation.

    I dont recognise the protocols you are mentioning, but for plc stuff, beckhoff are exelent at virtualizing their hardware and protocols. You can run it all on your laptop or you can dedicate hardware as a soft PLC. Its super easy with their package manager. They even has a Linux based software plc you can install and use as a PLC. You can generate infinite amounts of one week tiral licences for all their stuff so you can develop and learn without paying anything.

    It seems like they support some of the stuff you mention

    And dnp3 seems to be a codesys library so you might be able to just load that into twincat.

    Protip for twincat. If you install visual studio 2026 and install twincat add-on you get a much more modern development experience and much faster project complie and loading times compared to their own VS2022 twincat shell build.

    Another protip. Using GIT in twincat shell is buggy AF and should be avoided. Only use visual studio with twincat add-on instead.

    I consistently have abysmal sleep battery consumption on my Framework 13. How can I improve this. I'm so sad my laptop is constantly out of battery whenever i grab it.

    Anyone knows how to fix this? It's been a problem for the entire year I had the pc now. I've been waiting for firmware updates to hopefully fix it, but nothing has changed for the past year and i feel it's only gotten worse.

    Anyone that can recommend a high quality repairable automatic soap dispensor I can use in the kitchen for dishsoap. It should be automatic such that when i put the brush or sponge under it, it gives a small dose of soap.

    I have looked at the simplehuman one, but after watching a video on how to replace the battery I just cannot with good conscious buy it. It is literally designed to not be opened.

    I know any pump like this will not last me a lifetime, but I want something that last for as long as possible.

    As the title hints, it should be available in EU. Any recommendations i can find online and on reddit are all just useless amazon products and listings of all amazon products. It must be possible to find something better and in EU.

    Looking forward to hear if anyone knows about a good product.

     

    Hi everyone. Sorry for a long post, but I'm looking for various input related to buying a camera, so feel free to just comment on any small bit of it if you feel like it. I don't expect answers to it all, but I'm just so exited to get back into photography after a long break.

    The trigger for reviving my passion is that I'm planning a trip to Tokyo this fall 2026. I want to buy a really good camera for the trip to capture everything and finally get back into taking good photos.

    I used to own a DSLR Nikon D5200 back in 2013, but over the years I completely stopped using it because it was just too big and bulky to carry so i sold it 2 years ago after not using it for 4 years before that.

    Priorities

    That's why i for this trip I want something that is much more compact and cameras have come a long way since 2013. My absolute top priority is size. If the camera isn't small and easy to carry, I know that I just simply won't use it enough. Ideally it should almost as easy to bring as my phone.

    My next few priorities after size are as follows.

    1. Interchangeable lenses
    2. Excellent video capabilities
    3. Good low light performance
    4. 20-55 mm ish standard lens option to get started
    5. Everything else just needs to be reasonably well balanced
    6. An option for 35mm pancake lens for super compact mode. This is a nice to have addition and the price of it is on top of my budget mentioned below.
    7. Full frame is nice, but i also have to be realistic if i want a super compact body.

    What I mean about wanting a camera that is reasonable well balanced is that most cameras are in my opinion pretty good these days so I'll listen to your recommendations to maximize a balanced performance within my budget. I was happy with the performance of my D5200 so it's a good benchmark and should be easy to beat i think.

    Where to buy and budget

    I consider buying a camera when i first get to Tokyo since prices seems a bit lower there but i don't know for sure yet if that is a good idea so if you have experience there I'd love to hear.

    My budget is around 200,000 yen (~1100€) including a decent starter lens. Maybe a bit more if needed or for an additional lens option.

    Also if anyone knows of special deals, good Japan-only bundles, or used gear markets that i should consider then I'd love to hear, but it should be pretty easy to get on the first day in Tokyo if it's not the same price here in EU anyway.

    Additional info:

    For the trip we currently just have our phones which are an iPhone 16 Pro and a Google Pixel 5a 5G that both take pretty decent casual photos. The camera I'm looking for doesn’t need to replace that, but needs to offer significantly better image and video quality.

    I really liked the interface on my Nikon and from what I've tried so far, I’m not a big fan of Canon’s interface. No idea about olympus, panasonic etc. never tried them.

    Other questions

    Does anyone know if there are any language limitations in the camera firmware when buying in Japan? (e.g., Japanese-only menus) ore are there any other region-locked features or restrictions compared to EU models?

    I hope to get some input to find the right camera. There are so many options and i feel like it's easy to go waaay over budget for not that much more.
