content: Looks great to me. KISS.IMHO, going to high frame rates on the regular programs is a complete waste of your time, YouTube's disk space, and the Internet bandwidth to view them at our end. Not to mention that there are still probably many of your viewers who don't have the luxury of 10s of MB of internet speed to view such content.Unless you are demonstrating something particularly high-speed, there is no reason for anything beyond 25 FPS. And if you ARE demonstrating something high-speed, you would probably shoot it at a very high frame rate and then edit it back in at "nominal" to have a slowed-down image to explain. As you have already made the point here, EEVblog is about CONTENT not about "production value".

content: Quote from: Richard Crowley on December 14, 2014, 04:07:01 amYou get to pick which stream you watch, and who cares about Youtube's disk space?I say upload at 8k 240fps and let the viewer decide which resolution they want to watch

If the intern doesn't go for it you know they have the guts to speak up, if they do go for it they really got guts.Actually the lab could use a funny hat, the tinfoil was awesome.
