Скачать или смотреть 8K cameras: fool's gold? • Leica Q3 Monochrom • Does your memory card REALLY matter?

Welcome to the latest episode of Bokeh Face: The Digital Camera World Podcast!

In Focus this episode, James and Chris debate whether anyone truly needs an 8K camera. You don't need it today and it has a knock-on effect for your lenses, memory card, computer, storage, workflow… but is future-proofing your footage worth it?

Then in our Gear Up segment, we play with Leica's Q3 Monochrom – a $7,800 camera that only shoots in black-and-white and can't change lenses. And yet, it might just be the best camera that anyone has ever made for street photography…

And wrapping things up in our Trouble Shooting section, we discuss whether your memory card really matters. Can you just buy the cheap $10 one off Amazon, or should you invest in an expensive $200 card? Here's why there's more to memory cards than just the format.
