Amazon announced that the Black Friday deals will start on November 17 and go on for 10 days. The Black Friday pages are already up and running here and some early deals can be found: Amazon US. Amazon CA. Amazon DE. Amazon UK. Amazon FR. Amazon ES. Amazon IT.

To grab the best deals before the others I advice you to become Prime members. You will get early access to Amazon Black Friday and the Cyber Monday 2017 deals. You can simply cancel your free trial after 30 days if you do not wish to become an official member. Subscribe PRIME here: Amazon US. Amazon CA. Amazon DE. Amazon UK. Amazon FR. Amazon ES.

We don’t know yet what kind of Sony deals we can expect. But for sure there will be plenty of useful rebates on accessories and third-party lenses.

Serge Ramelli tests the Luminar 2018 and creates Autumn atmosphere and Sunrays out of nothing

Share

Youtube star Serge Ramelli tested the Luminar 2018 software (purchase here). And he shows you how to create an autumn atmosphere from a boring picture.

I guess that’s the future of photography. Take a shitty pic and transform it in whatever you like. And you will not even have to own a good camera.. The German Max Planck institute has a special AI algorythm to create high resolution images from a low resolution original photo (PDF file here).

First A7rIII and 24-105mm lens shipped to Chinese buyers

Share

The very first A7rIII has been shipped today to Chinese buyers (Source Xitek). Some time ago Sony stated that China was the number one Full Frame market in terms of volume. I guess that’s why the camera is shipping earlier than in USA and EU. And as you can see from these images below both the A7rIII and the new 24-105mm lens are made in China too.

Preorders:
Sony A7rIII at Amazon, Bhphoto, Adorama, BuyDig, FocusCamera, Calumet DE, Wex UK. Photo Porst Neuwied. Sony Netherland. Sony Australia. Sony Japan.
Sony 24-105mm at Amazon, Bhphoto, Adorama, BuyDig, FocusCamera, Amazon DE. Calumet DE, Wex UK.
