Joshua Crater‎: “A7Rii Day 1 – First Video out of the box, 1080p not 4K. Shot on Sigma 70-200mm with LAEA3 adapter.- Few more photos here from Day 1 with A7Rii – https://www.facebook.com/JoshuaChristopherPhotography — with Joel Gelin and Lee Johnson.”

Lous: “Hello! I just wanted to share a fun timelapse video I made using the app on the Sony A6000. The app really is great fun! Hope you enjoy it!

The new Sony A7sII can now be preordered at Sony A7sII at Amazon, BHphoto, FocusCamera, Adorama and in Europe at WexUK. In Asia soon at Digitalrev.

Bruno from Lesnumeriques posted those slides from the official Sony A7sII presentation. There are a couple of interesting insights:

1. The Large sensor video camera market is increasing (P.S.: larger than 2/3 inch sensor)
2. In Europe most A7s buyers were professionals
3. A7sII has 2 stops ISO advantage over the new A7rII

Still Planet5D has some doubts about the new A7sII: “The New Sony A7s II is Great, But Is It Awesome Enough To Get You To Upgrade?”.

Adobe released the new Photoshop and Premiere Elements 14 software. You can download it at Adobe or at BHphoto. A detailed new features overview with videos can be seen on that special Adobe page (Click here).

Jean: “Is this where people share sony related links with you? If so, here’s a little video I shot day after I got my RX100m4. Really enjoy this camera. All shot on RX100m4 in HFR 250fps and 4K 24fps. P.S. Youtube compression really kills the image quality in high motion areas (water…) Original is MUCH better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zXvpqF-mj4”

LOL! Destiny is making fun on the people who is patiently waiting since May(!) to get their Batis lens. For a couple of hours BHphoto changed the expected availability date to 2099! (Spotted at Reddit).
Fun aside there is some small good news to report. Early preorders from BHphoto and Adorama shipped last week according to multiple SAR readers. And there is one single lens in Stock now at [shoplink 40770 ebay]eBay US[/shoplink]. and at [shoplink 40769 ebay]eBay Germany[/shoplink].

Diglloyd tested the 85mm Batis and writes:

It’s really wonderful to have such quality in a small and light kit. The design choice of f/1.8 is absolutely fine (I would even have preferred f/2, just to nudge up the quality slightly and nudge down the size). Particularly for this type of shooting, I’ll take f/1.8 any day over the bulk and weight of f/1.4.

If you want to suck out all the dust inside your camera than you really have to buy the new Fujin Mark II! The cleaner looks like a lens and comes in Canon EF or Nikon F-mount which you can easily use on a Sony via any adapter. You can buy it on eBay [shoplink 40741 ebay]here (eBay Alex-Tokyo)[/shoplink], [shoplink 40743 ebay]here (eBay Alex-Tokyo)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 40744 ebay]here (eBay Alex-Tokyo Nikon version)[/shoplink]. And the Nikon mount version on Amazon (Click here).

PetaPixel epxlains how it works:

Inside the Fujin is a high-speed electric fan that produces 2.7 times more airflow than the first generation Fujin lens vacuum, changing the air inside your camera 6 times every second.There are special electrostatic filters that are designed to be inserted in the front of the lens. These attract the dust, dirt, and sand particles as they flow out of the camera chamber.

The Lens-vacuum-cleaner is powered by simple AAA batteries and there is a simple on off button on the lens to activate it. There are four videos posted by Fujin on Youtube to see how it works. More pictures below.

Order options:
Fujin mark II cleaner on eBay [shoplink 40741 ebay]Canon mount at Alex-Tokyo)[/shoplink], [shoplink 40743 ebay]Canon mount at[/shoplink] and [shoplink 40744 ebay]Nikon mount at Alex-Tokyo[/shoplink]. Nikon mount version on Amazon (Click here).
