The Hows and Whys of Cinema versus Photography Lenses (Explora).
Cameta interviewed a Sony manager and here are a few news:
1) First he confirmed that they are working on new telephoto lenses
2) More weather resistant than the current A7 series cameras (you can shoot with the A9 in the rain)
And now to the very bold claims we have to verify in real life yet:
1) Canon lenses will autofocus faster on the A9 than on Canon cameras
2) Almost the same High ISO performance of the A7s
3) Says the A9 suffers of less overheating than the competition
Annoying:
He said having two UHS-II card slot are unnecessary (SAR note: We ALL disagree)
Whenever someone complains about Sony service I know that this is a very delicate matter. I know that I don’t have access to full facts and I know that we are only hearing the “victim’s” voice here.
But I know Ole Johan Aanestad is an honest guy and he deserves to be helped on that matter. So please Sony, help him.

Eak: “2 things: – Apple has released iOS 10.3 and Mac OS 10.12.4 with raw support for Sony A6500. – I did a ISO video comparing Sony A6500 and my previous camera Canon 550D with same kind of objective. https://youtu.be/z_JIdvuO6ic“
I thought you might be interested in learning more about Spark from Alpine Labs for your news section as the remote is compatible with Sony cameras. Spark is the world’s most versatile, adaptable and affordable camera remote currently available. The compact unit was designed to be flexible to the demands of each individual photographer by offering three distinct modes of shooting:
1) Infrared trigger from 30’ away 2) Tethered trigger 3) App based wireless controller
Each mode has a distinct set of features for varying shooting needs and Spark can last for up to 2,000 hrs of continuous use on the same replaceable coin cell battery. You’d have to purchase 2 or 3 separate accessories to achieve what only one Spark unit can do.
Your audience is able to pick up Spark for the pre-sale price of $44 right now on Kickstarter and then will retail for $56. This makes Spark the most affordable upgrade to any camera kit.
