Sony announced that the July 7th announcement has been postponed

Share

Today Sony’s youtube live stream channel announced that the camera announcement scheduled for July 7th has been postponed. A new date will be announced soon.

If you remember back in early May I told you the ZV-E10 would be announced in late May. Little after I told you the announcement was delayed probably due the global chip shortage. Now for one time you got direct proof that such last minute postponements are not happening in my mind but are real :)

COSYSPEED and VAUDE collaborated to create this new Hiking Backpack for Photographers

Share

This is a project I can vouch for as I personally know the person behind Cosyspeed for years now. And he just launched his new Hiking Backpack for Photographers on Kickstarter (Click here).

What’s special on this bag is that this isn’t a photographer bag suited for hiking. But this is a professional Vaude hiking back modified by Cosyspeed to perfectly work for photographers too. Which means it’s REALLY comfortable to wear for long time. Watch the video to learn more about it:

Sony A1 Lab Test at CineD – Rolling Shutter, Dynamic Range and Latitude: “state-of-the-art consumer camera”

Share

Sony A1 at BHphoto. Adorama. Amazon. Focuscamera. FotoErhardt DE. Calumet DE. Fotokoch DE. Park UK. WexUK.

CineD published their full Sony A1 Lab Test and the summary is the following:

As anticipated, the Sony A1 shows state-of-the-art consumer camera results in the lab test in all disciplines: rolling shutter, dynamic range, and latitude, using the internal codecs. This camera clearly shows that old paradigms like the need for large pixels to achieve good dynamic range are not true anymore. After all, we are talking about a 50 megapixel sensor here!

To me it seems rather clear that as long as these cameras use the current 12bit sensor read out architecture for video we cannot expect much more than these results. Just for your reference, the benchmark so far is the ARRI ALEA Mini LF which exhibits about 2 stops more in the dynamic range and latitude discipline.
