John: “I recently shot a short film/promo video for my band, John Shisko Band https://www.facebook.com/JohnShiskoBand/ and would be absolutely thrilled if you posted it! It’s for a show tonight in Toronto but it may be of interest to people even after that.

Daniel: “Since i helped a little with the design i have a pre-production version of smallrig’s new L-bracket that is designed with 20mm height and did a long first look/walk around. The design goal was to revolve the pinky problem and better ergo. They still have pre-sales going for $41 total. My videos are low production so not sure if you want to share but thats ok.

Phase One announced the world’s first camera using the new Sony 100 Megapixel back-illuminated sensor!

Phase One announced the new iMX industrial/drone camera. What’s cool on this thing is that it’s the world’s first camera using the new Sony 100Megapixel backilluminated 44x33mm sensor!
Fuji, Hasselblad and Pentax will use this sensor on their future cameras too. And maybe Sony will launch an RX camera with that sensor too? Me dreaming :)

There are no image samples yet but these are the sensor specs:

Lyubo: “I just wanted to share an extreme sport video shot on the A7SII in the Austrian Alps during the winter, very often in below freezing level temperatures, and the A7SII handled it without any issues, but looking forward to the A7SIII with improved battery and even more and better slow motion capabilities. https://youtu.be/XlmIzHl15O8”

Ben: “Except for the drone shots, I shot this entire video on Sony cameras. I used everything from the Sony F55 to my Sony A7RIII. Surprisingly, more than 50% of the shots in the finished video are from the A7RIII. Its improved AF saved my butt and allowed me to pull off gimbal shots that would’ve been unthinkable otherwise. https://youtu.be/8CHXk8gZLZk“
