First sales report: Sony A7cR sales are good, second best selling is the 16-35GMII and A7cII slightly behind the other two

Preorders:
Sony A7cII at BHphoto, Amazon US&EU, Adorama, FotoErhardt, Fotokoch, Calumet, WexUK. Sony AUS.
Sony A7cR at BHphoto, Amazon US&EU, Adorama, FotoErhardt, Fotokoch, Calumet, WexUK. Sony AUS.
16-35GMII at BHphoto, Amazon US&EU, Adorama, FotoErhardt, Fotokoch, Calumet, WexUK. Sony AUS.

I talked to the stores I am in contact with in the USA and EU. They shared some early stats about the sales:

  • All three products do not sell in crazy numbers compared to the very good sales of the A7rV (the last Sony camera that sold very well).
  • On top of the sales we have the A7cR slightly ahead of the 16-35GMII which again is only slightly ahead of the A7cII.

This isn’t much different from our POLL which shows that more or less the preorders are equally distributed, except for the A7cR which is a bit behind:

Just released: New Nik Collection 6.3

DxO just released the new Nik Collection 6.3 (Click here). It’s one of the software I use most and have created and saved a lot of presets for myself. This is what you get with the new version:

New for 6.3: Improved Sharpener and HDR Efex
The new editions of Nik Sharpener and Nik HDR Efex include a host of updates making them more powerful and easier to use. Both feature a new interface with a clearer, cleaner look that matches the other Nik Collection plugins. Also, you can now choose where sliders for local adjustments appear on-screen: controls can be either kept in a sidebar to tidy the image area, or overlaid in traditional style.

And as with Nik Collection 6.3’s other plugins, the U Point™ technology in Nik HDR Efex and Nik Sharpener now features:

  • NEW Control Lines add flexibility when making broad adjustments, letting you harness the power of Control Points
  • NEW Control Point diffusion lets you regulate the strength and style of adjustments more easily
  • NEW Control Points and Control Lines can now be inverted, giving you huge flexibility
  • NEW Color Selectivity sliders allow Control Point and Control Line editing to be tied to specific colors and tones in an image
  • NEW Renamable Local Adjustments let you stay on top of complex edits, and local adjustments can now be saved as Presets, giving you quick access to frequently used sharpening or HDR recipes.

Nik Collection 6.3 makes editing easy
Thanks to all of its new and improved features, Nik Collection 6.3 is easier to use than ever before. It plugs straight into Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Lightroom Classic, DxO PhotoLab, and Affinity Photo, providing unprecedented creative control without affecting your preferred workflow.

Several new workflow features make editing even easier:

  • NEW Turn your edits into a Smart Object at any stage from within the plugin, giving you fully non-destructive editing in Photoshop
  • NEW Call on any of your last 15 Nik Collection edits and apply them with a single click
  • NEW Presets can now be searched for by name, so you can instantly find your favorite edits
  • NEW HiDPI & Multiscreen support lets you work with all screen configurations
  • NEW Affinity Photo is now automatically detected as part of installation.
