Pascal: “çoved the video of the UFOs made with the A7s. I wonder what these things are. On a more joking note, here are some UFOs I published a couple of days ago: http://www.dearsusan.net/2015/02/21/327-the-night-of-the-shutaklunk-ufo-true-story/. My guess is what I’m seeing is shutter vibration, but I’m not entirery sure … Any ideas?“
Well there is one more great thing with the Sony A7s. With the super high ISO performance it delivers we can finally spot the UFO’s flying around at night! Check out that video: youtube.com/watch?v=Iaksh6P8AMU. It has been shot by CityHunter who writes:
My friend Terrence shot this footage testing his brand new Sony A7S, with a [shoplink 33299 ebay]50mm Nikon lens[/shoplink]. Shot at 70,000 ISO, it made 9:30pm look like twilight. First is the normal speed, then a slowed version of the footage.
More UFO videos here: Youtube one and Youtube two.
Personal note: I have a scientific mindset and I have an extremely hard time to believe in UFO’s. Usually those things can be easily explained with a bit of research and rational thinking. But I am seriously impressed by the terrific A7s performance. I “Believe” in the A7s :)

The Spanish site DSLRmagazine asked Tamron if they plan to make lenses for the Sony A7 system. But the official answer was: “Currently we have no intention to cover this line of business, although we have a very good relationship with that particular brand.“
He also confirmed the new 15-30mm Sp lens can resolve the new 50 megapixel FF sensors. This fits with a rumor I got back many months ago. That source gave me the lens specs as first and also told me Sony would make a close to 50MP FF camera too. Question now is only WHEN that camera will be announced to fight back the Canon 5ds.
P.S.: The A-mount 15-30mm Tamron lens can be ordered at BHphoto (Click here) and at Adorama (Click here).
Mirrorless system camera market share in 2014 (Japan only)
BCNranking published the full 2014 camera sales date in Japan. The good news is that Sony dethroned Olympus and is now number one in the mirrorless system camera market in Japan. And in Japan mirrorless is very strong and on par with DSLR in terms of cameras sales. The (unsurprisingly) bad news is that Sony really holds no more any meaningful share of the DSLR market:
DSLR market share in 2014 (Japan only)
Sony really needs to reinvent the wheel with their A-mount system if they want to make it successful. They would certainly have the necessary tech for that but we have to see if the management really wants that.
