Imagine my surprise where in a scene depicting a professional photographer with real looking professional equipment the camera used was none other than the great Sony A99. La La Land is a serious contender for the Oscars, even if probably not for the Sony scene :)

Marco: “A shot of mine taken with the a99ii and Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70G2 is featured on the web site of the National Trust, a major British charity – it is the ‘amphitheatre’ shot on this page.

Egill: “New Years eve in Iceland, everything shot on A7SII + 85mm GM. Most of the footage is shot in 100fps (2.2x crop mode), little bit in 4K 25fps. https://youtu.be/NERI3L-OihQ“
Mirrorlessrumors shared the 2016 Japanese market shares report from BCNranking. In the mirrorless system camera segment Sony lost 8% sales share compared to 2015. This isn’t surprising as in 2016 Sony had “only” two new APS-C E-mount cameras (A6300 and A6500). The biggest gain has been achieved by Canon thanks to their first really serious mirrorless camera: The EOS-M5.
Garzi released their new “luxury” A6500 leather case. You can find them in [shoplink 54702 ebay]Black, Brown and Orange on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
As you know the companies lately released plenty of Cine E-mount lenses (Sigma, Tamron, Samyang…). Those lenses do have apertures marked in T-stops. If you want to learn the difference between T-stops and F-Stops just watch the video on top!
CIPA released the latest November camera shipment data. It shows that the interchangeable camera shipments didn’t decrease compared to 2015. This might be finally a sign that the four-year long fall in camera sales might soon be over. At least let’s hope this is the case!
