Evan:Shooting a magazine editorial shoot. I go over lighting, hardware, settings for each shot, as well as methodology. I am shooting tethered with the Sony a7RIII, Microsoft Surface Pro, and Profoto B1 lights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiZLTnp0Mts

Philip:Breakthrough photography, the filter company, will be making a 150mm filter holder like this: https://breakthrough.photography/products/x100-holder?variant=13005112836138.It will allow you to fit a filter to the 12-24mm FE lens! This will be announced within 4-5 months, I believe. It’s a bit of a wait but it’s really good news in my opinion.

Dynamic range test: Both the Canon EOS-R and Nikon Z cameras fall behind the Sonys

Share

Photonstophotos measured the Dynamic Range of the Canon EOS-R and Nikon Z cameras. Overall none of the competitor can match the performance of the Sony A7rIII or Sony A7III. Also keep in mind the Canon and Nikon cameras are the newest cameras meaning that the gap is expected to increase once Sony announces the new models.

Of course Dynamic range alone is not the measure for the overall quality of a camera. But at least from a pure IQ point of view Sony is definitely the leader.
