Hi all,

in March this year you and your readers helped us with ideas and suggestions about our CAMSLINGER Outdoor camera bag project. We got about 60 ideas from your readers, which was simply fantastic. Not all, but some of them flew into the CAMSLINGER Outdoor, which is currently on Indiegogo: https://igg.me/at/camslinger-outdoor

To say thanks we’d like to give away a CAMSLINGER Outdoor to your readers :-) MANY THANKS and have a wonderful christmas and amazing 2017.

cheers

Mariusz: “I thought that could be interesting for you and your readers, as I was one of the people that was looking for this kind of video but couldn’t find it, so I decided to record it myself. It’s a vlog where I’m testing the 28mm f2 lens from Sony for a purpose of vlogging. Also it shows the slow motion and low light capabilities in real life of the Sony a7rii.

Juan: “Just wanted to let you know that we just released a new special episode of the AlphaMirrorless podcast with a hands-on video comparison of the newly released Sony Alpha a6500 with the a6300 and the a6000. You can find the podcast here: http://thisweekinphoto.com/alphamirrorless-042-a6xxx-comparison/“

Sony announced a new backside-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor at IEDM 2016 which is equipped with integrated polarizers. Nikkei reports:

A polarizer is a kind of filter that transmits only light in a specific polarization state and reflects light in the other states. A prototype of the new sensor is equipped with four kinds of polarizers that transmit linearly-polarized lights (linearly-polarized waves) with different polarization directions (polarization angles: 0, 45, 90 and 135°).
In the lecture, the group emphasized that the transmittance and extinction ratio of the prototype are satisfactory. It disclosed data to prove that it has achieved a higher extinction ratio than that of a conventional polarization camera in the wavelength range of 400-700nm. Also, the sensitivity and extinction ratio of the new sensor are less dependent on the incident angle.

Thanks Barry!

Lyubo: “We finished our new actionsport video, shot in Austria in March and April. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFmub_EbVcg It is all filmed on the A7S II with a few shots on the Gopro4. And regarding lenses, it was mostly shot on the Samyang Emount 8mm fisheye, Sony 24-70 f4, and Sony 55-210, with a few shots on the Samyang 50mm f1.4, and the Sony 10-18mm f4.
I hope you like it, and if the viewers have any questions about how we shot it, the gear, editing process, etc., I’d happy to answer.”

Last month SAR told you that Sony’s next camera would be a new compact model. And today the camera got announced: It is the Sony HX350 camera with 50x zoom. Sony writes:

Pull the scene as close as you like with a 50x optical zoom (100x Clear Image Zoom) compact that handles and performs like a DSLR camera. Whether your subject is near or far, the power, speed and precision of the 20.4MP Exmor R™ CMOS sensor and BIONZ X™ image processing engine work brilliantly in tandem to deliver images of extraordinary detail.
