Jon: “I have a gallery of images made with a combination most people wouldn’t normally see, if you’d like to share.   Sony a7R III with the Sony 24-240mm.   As of Jan 6, 2018 every photo in this gallery made with the a7R III was made with the 24-240.  It’s a much better combination than many people would believe.

Just some fun: Image of the “Panasony A7sIII” :)

Share

This image made by John Zulueta made my day :)
It displays the dream most SAR readers have: A Sony A7sIII with the Panasonic GH5s specs.

Jokes aside the Sony A7sIII should really match Panasonics specs without to remove the IBIS like Panasonic did. That would be a real killer!

Sony A7rIII is camera of the year at RonMartBlog. And new test by Jim Kasson, Lok and Cinema5D.

Share

RonMartBlog did select the A7rIII as camera of the year:

I wish you’d buy my Canon gear so I could buy this camera – it really is that good. This is why I’m proud to give the Sony a7R III my highest recommendation by naming it my 2017 Camera of the Year!

Also Jim Kasson prefers it over the Nikon D850:

The D850 can do most of what the D5 can, and some stuff the D5 never thought about doing. But for available-light, no-modifier event shooting, I think there’s a new sheriff in town: the a7RIII with an a9 backup.

Cinema5D did shoot a mini documentary with the A7rIII:

So, if this camera is so nice to work with, is there any obstacle in getting it? Well, the answer might be its’ biggest “enemy”, Sony’s own non (yet) existing camera, namely, the a7S III.

New video test by Lok:

Sony A7rIII at Amazon, Bhphoto, Adorama, BuyDig, FocusCamera, Calumet DE, Wex UK. Photo Porst Neuwied. Sony Netherland. Sony Australia. Sony Japan.

New cool accessory announcements from CES

Share

Last night Sony did only announce a new module for the RX0 and a talking robot-dog (LOL). But other companies announced some interesting accessories. The one I like most is this My Passport Wireless SSD from WD for On-the-Go Backup. You can preorder this now on Bhphoto. This might be the easiest way to make secure backups when doing long trips.

Panasonic announces the new GH5s. Sony, now it’s your call to answer with the A7sIII.

Share


via Camerasize

Panasonic just announced their new GH5s. This camera is made to challenge the Sony A7sII. It has some terrific specs (like dual native ISO and Cinema4K) and first tests show this is indeed a serious competitor. Imaging Resource writes:

“At both 12,800 and 25,600, the GH5S looks slightly better than the A7S II at the same ISOs, which is both unexpected and subjectively highly impressive for a camera featuring a sensor that is a fraction the size of the other.
A sensor significantly smaller than the full-frame A7S II is beating that camera in low-light performance. I never thought I would see the day. With these test results, it’s hard to argue that the GH5S is not the new king of low light.”

Overall this is good news. Sony can’t hold back on the A7sIII launch and has to pack it with some necessary features like 4k60p and 10bit internal recording at 24-30p. The NAB show in April would be a logic place for the A7sIII announcement.
