I believe so, but its camera and sensor is a bit smaller and worse.

I don’t think I’ve ever gotten greater validation of my work on apps that make capturing genuine photos and videos easier than this.

What a bleak world it would be if everything you consume is just machine generated slop.

kino cleverly has an option to exclude your videos from backup! But I go with 1 TB, smallest physical size :)

so glad this resonated!

indeed we shoot RAW with Halide, but note that it's native RAW, not ProRAW. The latter is indeed sadly not available no matter what

Honestly: no. Unless you are super in need of that zoom lens, I'd hold off a few years!

Aesthetic of the winning NYC ticket. Regardless of how you feel about the politics, it’s all content with warm film style color grading and friendly type. Stuff with soul. Total vibe grade. Other stuff looks fake and sterile.

thank you! No plans there yet, but will add to the queue :)

We’ve got a great Kino update out today — bringing highly-requested Creator Tools like Audio Control (set any microphone automatically or manually, including iPhone mic configs), expanded storage options, precise geotagging and more.

It’s such a fun job to build a perfect, simple video camera. 🥰

this is not a relevant or timely tweet but a thing that boggles my mind sometimes is that united and continental merged in 2010 and they kept the united name but used continental's clip art-ass logo that was dated even back then and have never changed it since

Had an excellent time chatting with @stalman.bsky.social and @sandofsky.com about all the big news from WWDC — including the new camera app! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJJB...

Closing out another fantastic #WWDC25 — possibly my favorite yet. Thanks to everyone that made is such a fun one!
