Check out Sony’s new products including the new a7, a6500, and a99 II cameras, and the latest additions to the Sony lens range.
Now, we don’t have to read too much into it. You know it’s marketing guys writing that stuff and by “new” they could simply mean the “latest available models”. That said we reported weeks ago that we got unverified rumors about a possible March announcement. If this could be a new High End E-mount camera (A9 or A7rIII) or the new entry level A7III is unclear.
Just to sum up the rumors we got so far:
The new High End Camera (A9 or A7rIII) is a high speed camera with unlimited RAW recording, dual card (XQD or SD), bit larger body, much improved autofocus system and not crazy high megapixels. The new A7III should have a new 24MP sensor, improved AF and touchfocus screen.
CamFi announced full Wireless Tether Support for Sony Cameras. Their products are available at Amazon US, Amazon DE, Amazon UK.
CamFi 3.0 Adds Wireless Tether Support for Sony Cameras
GUANGDONG, CHINA. – February 23, 2017 – CamFi Limited, maker of wireless controllers for digital cameras, announced today that the new version of its app, CamFi 3.0, adds wireless tether support for Sony cameras. This feature allows the photographer to transmit photos from a Sony camera to a laptop or tablet via Wi-Fi automatically during a photo shoot.
“CamFi is the only wireless camera controller which can support Canon, Nikon and Sony currently. The support for other camera brands will be added in the future,” Said Mark Ma, CEO of CamFi, “We hope we can bring something new for the photography industry.”
CamFi 3.0 supports both raw and jpeg image file formats. It also supports live view for Sony cameras. That way, a photographer can see the live view of the camera, change the ISO, shutter speed and aperture and shoot remotely. Furthermore, the new version added support for the newest DNP wireless printer server. This allows the user to print the photo via Wi-Fi immediately after shooting. SAR CamFi supports multiple camera control, which can be used to create a bullet time effect.
There are many advantages to using wireless remote capture. For one thing, the technology enables the photographer to see the preview image on a large screen, such as that of a tablet, versus the small viewfinder of the camera. The tether also makes it possible for the camera to be in a position that gets the right shot, but which is not necessary comfortable or safe for the photographer. For instance, the camera can be mounted on a high railing while the photographer can see the preview while standing on the floor below. Wireless tethers are helpful for time-lapse photography and self-portraits as well.
