Chuck: “I added a video showing some images I got while shooting a Division 1 College Football Game this fall using the Sony A9 + 300 2.8 A-Mount Lens and the 100-400 GM Lens.  Also shot with the A99II. https://youtu.be/IaCOpgym0bU“

Horshack: “I found a quick and easy way to avoid the “Writing to Memory card. Unable to operate” error seen on Sony cameras whenever a user attempts to review a photo they’ve just taken. As you know, Sony eliminated this issue on their newest cameras like the A7rIII, A9, and A6500 with their faster front-end LSI chip, but the error still occurs on very popular models like the A7rII, A7II, A6300, RX10 II/II, RX100 IV and earlier, etc… My workaround addresses these cameras. Here is a short video demonstrating the workaround: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmJyMk2KLcs“

Hunter: “Braving subfreezing temperatures, I returned home after my first night of shooting only to find that I had moved my tripod halfway through the shoot….and after 20 hours of editing, I sadly came to the conclusion that I had to reshoot…..Luckily I returned 4 days later in sub freezing temperatures and reshot my concept.  https://www.instagram.com/p/BfUCIuwgQBZ/?taken-by=hunterp“

Claas: “I’ve seen a lot of tech specs for the a7rIII on your website and a lot of featured test videos from people all around the world. For me as an professional photographer this is one side of a new camera, but on the other hand i like to see how all these tools perform in real world situation and what the output looks like at the end. I shoot a little documentary in January in Bangladesh with the a7rIII together with the Zeiss Batis 25mm and the Sony 55mm. https://vimeo.com/254910774“

Scott: “This is a short video I put together as a test for 120fps at night with high ISO on the a7rIII. I think SAR readers will like it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXvX27Iqo4k“
