    The SRT series is awesome, I have a 100 that has become my sole 35mm camera I use. The focus screen and metering are just better than anything else I've used in 35mm. Aside from the funky PX625 battery (and meters adjusted to old mercury-based batteries), they really have few weaknesses.

    So I was talking to some fellow photographers and one was asking about 4x5 cameras and then pinholes. It got my creative juices flowing and I thought I'd slap a camera together to play with. It's made out of stuff I had around my apartment. 
     
    It's a 100mm f256 pinhole. The image was shot on fuji xray film. About a 5 second exposure.

    Make sure that your GPU is enabled in the settings of Premiere Pro. You should see an option to use a CUDA device or something similar to that.

    Just to contribute to this: no matter what camera you end up deciding to buy, adding lighting will be more impactful.
    It will be worth your budget to pick up a few compact LED lights that you can use to spotlight some of the action.
    It's not going to be some giant lamp with day-from-night capabilities, but if you can even get a backlight to help your viewers pick out the silhouette of the rider while they're doing their tricks, it'll make your videos alot better than 1 more f-stop on a lens will.

    It’s the same sensor size. It has bigger pixels and sensor is more tuned to low light.

    Probably not.
     
    Most laptops will have a 3 pin connector, with the 3rd pin sending a signal to the laptop telling it what charger is plugged in. Even if your laptop doesn't, the charger usually has to be powerful enough to top up the battery while still powering the actual laptop.
     
    Also you won't get even 10 watts.
     
    The USB 3.0 is rated for 0.9A , or 4.5 watts. If you're lucky, you'll get 2A out of a connector, so 10w in total. No converter is 100% efficient, so assume at best you're gonna get 8-9 watts ... that's 8w / 12v = 0.65A or a bit more.

    I agree with this.
     
     
    I think this may help us to get to know our camera better and how to proper photography, I learn so many things from this site. I read a lot from this site and practice basic photography with my phone before I get my real camera.

    Recently I got a Sony A6000 with 35mm f1.8 lens plus bag, SD card, air duster, filter, and gorilla pod in the bundle for equivalent to $670 in my local pricing wich is a good deal.
     
    I followed the suggestion from that site that we'd better buy a camera body and get a prime lens as it's more cost effective rather than buy camera with its lens kit then upgrade later. Since A6000 is a crop sensor, so I choose the 35mm over 50mm f1.8

    I am not sure if you'll be any happier with "better" gear. I'm just wondering if you're actually having trouble with the different process of using a camera instead of a smartphone.
    I've had a couple of a6000s in my hands over time and there is a reason why it was only recently discontiued. Yes, it's menus are pretty cluttered but one can defnitely get used to it to a point where one isn't held back by it. No, it is absolutely not a pro level camera. However, exposure works exactly the same wether you have an a6000 or a Canon 1dx in your hand. I have friends who still use the a6000 and produce great results. Yes, the sensor isn't up to par anymore with what is out today but they know how their gear work and therefore know how to overcome potential challenges. 
     
    Personally, I'd gladly use an a6000 over any of the current smartphones in any case for photography, simply because I have proper control over my exposure. Smartphones simply don't allow you to fully do that. Yes, there are apps that let you adjust ISO and shutter speed but it's normally not possible to adjust aperture properly on a smartphone lens (is the S9 the one which does have a stop-down feature in the lens?). 
     
    Anyways, to come back to my first sentence, I'd suggest you learn to use the a6000 before you spend any money on a better system. Should you find that you just simply prefer the ease of use of a smartphone and cumbersome UIs hold you back in your photography, maybe you should stick to smartphones. Because as people above have stated also, every system has it's quirks and every system feels somewhat ancient compared to the UI of smartphone (with maybe Leica being the closest to a "modern" UI). 
     
    Hope this helps

    My oldest and probably most favourite lens is a Minolta 50mm 1.2 (mid 60s probably), below photo is shot with a sony a7R and that lens.
     
    My oldest camera is a minolta SRT 101 (60s again) but i don't use it that often. The oldest camera i use very often is a beast of a minolta alpha 9000. circa 1985. It has better features than some of the modern cameras. Total workhorse

    They're not very differently priced than any other manufacturer. Plus they're super durable IME. An HP laptop will stop working if you look at it the wrong way. But I've had numerous Dell laptops that I literally beat the shit out of, time and time again, over the course of several years. I've hit some so hard that the touchpad popped up out of the frame. I've never had any component fail (even the touchpads). They can take a serious beating.

    I don't like small bezels on smartphones, for two reasons. Firstly it makes front facing speakers a rarity, and being a person with big hands, I always press the edges of the screen with my palms. Give me a Nexus 6p with modern specs, and I will be a very happy person.
