Technical note: disqus allowed occasional intrusive and non allowed ADS on mobile devices

Share

Few SAR readers reported me that they got full size ADS on mobile devices while surfing on SonyAlphaRumors. We investigated the issue and found out that the Disqus comment system did unintentionally allow to display full size ADS that blocked some of you from reading SAR.

So it has to be clear that we DO NOT allow that kind of Advertising and we ask you please to report this to sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Meantime Disqus is working on a fix and I will have to keep their comment system in place so that they can check this and fix this.

Sorry for further issues you will experience while Disqus is working on this.

A7rIII shutter sound porn :)

Share


–

We always have those shutter sounds videos. So let’s hear the a7rIII sound:

And Dpreview listed all you need to know about the new A7rIII. Here are some interesting info:

1) Sony promises a slight improvement in rolling shutter, but not to the level as the a9, so the a7R III didn’t earn the ‘Anti-distortion shutter’ designation.

2) All dials have been updated to provide more haptic feedback

3) Redesigned low vibration shutter mechanism, which allows 10 fps bursts without the risk of ‘shutter shock.’ 

4) Responding to user feedback, Sony has added the ability to enter the menus while the camera is writing to a memory card. 

5) This one is kind of huge: there are now separate function button configurations for stills vs. movie modes.

6) Pixel Shift Modus: There’s at least a 1 second delay between shots while the camera waits for the sensor to settle. This delay means that this feature will not work well with moving subjects.

Preorders :
Sony A7rIII at Amazon, Bhphoto, Adorama, BuyDig, FocusCamera, Calumet DE, Wex UK. Sony Australia.
Sony 24-105mm at Amazon, Bhphoto, Adorama, BuyDig, FocusCamera, Calumet DE, Wex UK.
