Adobe just told us the $10 plan is still available…

Share

Adobe contacted us and told us this:

Hi there- Sorry for any misinformation. We haven’t changed the standard 20GB Photography plan, it’s still available here: adobe.ly/2Y5WxT3 or via phone at 1-800-585-0774 We’re just currently testing photography plans with higher levels of storage. ^RR

But I find it odd that they simply have removed this $10 basic plan option from the official Adobe’s pricing page. To me this looks like they are simply trying to do some damage control in the short-term. My bet is soon the $10 option will be gone anyway…

Reminder:.Capture One for Sony for the price of $109!

(SR1) Sony to announce a new camera by end of May?

Share

I just got this from a new source (Note: not a reliable source):

Sony will stock a new camera product towards end of May.
Sales will begin on 3rd of june
they even bought extra display space in a major store.

I don’t know what this product is called

UPDATE: Reliable sources contacted us after this post and said so far they heard nothing about a possible camera announcement in late May. I therefore downgraded the rumor from SR3 (50% it’s correct) to SR1 (10% it’s correct).

–

But for the sake of discussion let’s assume the info is correct:

We believe the A7sIII and A9II will NOT be announced by end of May. The question is….what else could we get? Here are possible candidates:

1) Sony RX
The May-June timeframe has been often used by Sony to announce new RX cameras. So a new RX100x or RX10x camera could be announced

2) Sony A6500 successor:
Sony said multiple times there will be an A6500 successor. So this could have a good chance to be announced in late May..

3) Something unexpected:
A new A5 to compete against the Canon RP?

What do you think about that?

Adobe removes the $10/month basic plan and now you have to pay $20/month. Time to switch to Capture One folks!

Share

As reported by PetaPixel Adobe did remove the $10/month basic plan. The minimum you have to pay now is $20/month (see Adobe’s new pricing here).

Now do yourself a favour and buy Capture One for Sony for the price of $109. I use it and I am very happy with it. Yeah I know it’s always a pain to make a software switch. But once you get over with it you will be happy to not pay a monthly fee!

If you need something cheaper check out the new Luminar 3.1 with AI 2.0 filter. Get it here and use our coupon code “SAR” to save extra $10 at checkout!

UPDATE. Adobe just said that their $10 plan is still available (Click here):
