AGAIN, I have had this conversation on here before. My 1/6 shutter is great for MY needs - which is general visibility. If you find that funny, I suggest doing something more productive than flexing your camera superiority on a forum.

And yes, I HAVE tried walking in front of it and waving. It’s a little choppy but it’s fine. I just need visibility at night. I’m glad I was able to give you a laugh though.

And to answer the other point, this is my original camera. The 4k at this setting is incredibly dark. You can see light but it pretty much becomes black and white - which again is why I was asking about SENSOR size.

If a 1/6 shutter works for whatever weird situation you have then rock on. It won't allow for a positive ID of any kind of fast moving target like someone walking quickly or running but if you don't care about that then you might as well go whole hog and run a 5 second+ shutter and be done with it. Your static nighttime images will look like daytime images.

But you will always get corrected on this forum when giving out advise of running slow shutters at night because that doesn't work for us that care about removing motion blur so we can ID a subject during movement at night.

It has nothing to do with flexing camera superiority on a forum. It is about helping people get the most out of a camera and using these cameras at a 1/6 shutter is wasting money.

If you re-read my reply I said a slow shutter is fine if it is to see far away....which apparently is your goal of the camera.

But at the same time if that is your goal of the camera and a 1/6 shutter fits your needs, then buy a cheaper camera. You are wasting the capacity of an expensive camera. I have a $40 no name camera for the overview needs you are talking about. It looks like high noon at midnight, but motion is a complete blur lol. But that is OK for that goal of the camera.

As I mentioned in your other thread, I assure you the 4K/X at a slow shutter will be brighter than your existing camera. When I first got my 4K/X camera and was bench testing I was shocked how fast the shutter could go with minimal light. And in use on the back of my house it looks great with just landscape lighting and faster shutter. But I'm not trying to see more than 15 feet from the camera either.

If you existing camera fits your needs, why replace? Sometimes newer isn't better. Chasing MP with a 1/6 shutter setting is not wise use of your money, so to throw your phrase back at you, I suggest spending your money on other things would be a more productive use of your money LOL...

We are here to help people select the right camera for their goal, and this is the first time I recall you finally showing your settings and mentioning your goal. If you had posted what your goal was, we would have said this is the wrong camera for that goal.

I'm out....

Yeah I love those sundecks, great for small kids and dogs...they are normally about 6 inches of water, those chairs he has are not cheap. I just got out of ours, 70 degrees, still tolerable, getting alot of leaves this time of the year.
