The Washington Post reports that during the NBC debate hall:

NBC producer picked up on the whirring sound of the cameras. A directive was quickly relayed: No shooting unless it coincided with audience applause

Luckily Times photographer Doug Mills and other Beltway photojournalists had the Sony A9 camera:

The A9 is a mirrorless apparatus that makes no sound. It came in handy for Mills on Wednesday night. He was in the second shift that was allowed close to the stage. “When I got there,” recalls Mills, “the woman who was from NBC said, ‘Hey, you can’t shoot.’ I explained to her my camera was mirrorless and she was like, ‘Why doesn’t everybody have one of these?’ So then I just kept shooting.”

“I had a great advantage,” says Mills.

Cool :)

Zeiss ZX1 still listed at BHphoto (Click here)

Zeiss has closed the special ZX1 website.

UPDATE: The Zeiss ZX1 is now back online!

Back in early April Zeiss said the “ZX1 pricing will be in the same range as the Leica Q, Sony RX1R II.” (Source: Dpreview). I hope they didn’t chane their mind on the camera release…
