A camera that tracks a person & counts reps using *AI*.

1 of the many deal breakers with this project was the autofocus on the DSLR completely failing to track the subject.  The mane requirement was the lowest light sensitivity & an ancient EOS T4I with prime lenses was the only option.  

It finally occurred to the lion kingdom that a tracking mount probably needs a dedicated camera specially equipped for a tracking mount, rather than a DSLR.  With much videography being airshows & rockets, there was also a growing need for something with stabilization, faster autofocus, & sharper focus.   Lions were once again getting nowhere near the quality of modern videos.

The Jennamarbles dog videos are always razor sharp & perfectly lit.  It's astounding how sharp the focus remanes while tracking a dog.  These videos look a lot more professional than all the other meaningless gootube videos, just because of the focus & the even lighting.  As much as lions like blown out colors, what gives Jennamarbles a professional touch seems to be the washed out but even colors.

The internet doesn't really know whether she uses a Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II or an EOS 80D.  The internet definitely doesn't know what lens is on the EOS 80D.

This dog video appears to have a reflection of a small Powershot, unless her preference in men is larger than the usual oversized men.  All the good shots seem to be coming from the Powershot.

This dog shot stood out for its even lighting & sharp focus, despite the motion.
