Emin:New article about my switching to sony from canon-nikon http://shotkit.com/emin-kuliyev/

Colin:Recently on my YouTube channel I released a cinematic-style short video that I shot on my RX10. (I’ve been shooting all of my videos on this camera for about a year now, but it still surprises me just how good the footage is out of it!). Here’s the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWH29u-L60k

CameraStoreTV says it will be nearly be impossible to buy the A6300 due the earthquake damage

Chris and Jordan analyzed the current camera shipment situation after the major Kumamoto Sony sensor production damage. They predict that there will be a major delay in product shipments (including the new A6300). And they expect the situation to get back to normal by this fall only.

Sony has (or had?) a scheduled product announcement event in June. But it’s now unclear if Sony will announce those product at all because of the sensor shortage.

Jörg:I just published a first impression video in German (my first video ever) about the new Zeiss Batis 18mm 2.8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3v8JckTvZY

Clive:Just letting you know I managed to find a hands on of the Kipon Integrated ND adapter. I was very curious at the time despite their sloppy use of terminology and confusing pictures.
This has the potential to be as good as the Fotodiox ND Throttle but with the ability to remove completely for zero ND.  I was hoping to see more hands on videos online before I took the risk buying it, but there is nearly nothing about it! https://youtu.be/Qr-LR551IdU?t=1m25s

Hanna Saba:Check out blog on Milky way shots using the a7sii. Had some messages on how i captured the milky way the settings and what i used. https://hrimages.wordpress.com/2016/05/14/milky-way/

Hong Kong Strong by Brandon Li

Hong Kong Strong from Brandon Li on Vimeo.

SAR reader Brandon Li made that cool video that just became a a Vimeo Staff Pick. He writes:

“Thought you would like this one: I spent 6 weeks shooting, and 3 months editing, this travel video about Hong Kong that just got a Vimeo Staff Pick.  I used a massive list of Sony gear: a7rii, a7sii, a7s, a6000, rx10ii, plus many Sony lenses.  I also made heavy use of the Beholder Ds1 3-axis gimbal to keep the camera in constant motion. I made a detailed director’s commentary about the behind-the-scenes of the film: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3stPIuUoCDHG7COfwr0tEA
The video has been gaining a lot of popularity – I was interviewed by the South China Morning Post, HK Magazine, Hong Kong radio, and it’s been featured by blogs like Gizmodo, Petapixel, Fubiz, and others.

Cheers and hope you enjoy it!
