If you want to know which is the best “light” tripod ccheck out this new Dpreview test. they compared these four:

Gitzo 1545T (Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama).
Peak Design Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod (BHphoto, Adorama)
Manfrotto BeFree GT (Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama).
Surui N1204SK (Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama).

Engadget has tested the S1R and writes:

Is the S1R worth $3,700? If you had asked me this even a month or two ago, I would have said yes. However, Sony’s incredible new 61-megapixel A7R IV has put me in a tight spot here, based on the brief look we had. For $200 less, you get a lot more, including much higher resolution, phase-detect autofocus with incredible AI powered eye detection, and video features on par with the S1R.

Sony simply hasn’t given Panasonic an inch in performance, and has a proven track record with three previous A7R models. It’s a shame, because the S1R is a pretty incredible camera, but like Canon and Nikon, Panasonic is simply getting lapped by Sony in the mirrorless race.

The 240MP files from the A7rIV are surely going ot be stunning. Still, I wish Sony would implement an in-camera solution to elaborate the files…just like Panasonic does on their S1R! Please Sony work on that!

Popular Photography tested the new Sony lens:

Even when shooting wide open the lens was sharp, and we didn’t notice any ugly onion ring bokeh, which sometimes result from aspherical lens elements, during our time with the lens. The AF is fast enough to capture the action onstage in a dimly lit venue.
