New Sony A7rIII tests and videos

Share

Albert Dros shared his “First Day” findings with the new Sony A7RIII:

The camera feels good, lot of faster than its predecessor.
Sound of the shutter is different. Sounds a bit ‘smoother’, like there is less vibration going on.
The resolution of the viewfinder and the screen are better. This is really noticeable if you’re used to the A7RII.
Touch-focus is great
Focus-magnify during AF is great, works well together with the Touch-focus.
Custom menu makes me work faster not having to go through dozens of menu pages.
The eye-piece sensor is better.

Sony 24-105mm review by Marc Alhadeff: “Sony has delivered a superb lens, much better than the 24-70mm Zeiss”

Share


Sony 24-105mm at Amazon, Bhphoto, Adorama, BuyDig, FocusCamera, Amazon DE, Calumet DE, Wex UK.

Marc Alhadeff posted the detailed review of the new 24-105mm lens. I did actually preorder this lens before to read any review and I was worried that once first reviewes would be released I might would be disappointed. But luckely this doens’t seem to be the case:

The Sony 24-105 F4 was longly awaited by Sony users as a key trans-standard zoom

Sony has delivered a superb lens , much better than the Sony FE 24-70mm F4 Zeiss OSS, way above the Sony FE 24-240mm F3.5-F6.3

  • The lens is always excellent in the center and corners are just 1 grade below but can always reach the very good grade
  • Bokeh is very nice, with beautiful blurry background
  • Very good resistance to flare, no CA
  • Very nice results in video with nice blurry background
  • Construction is very good  and lens is equipped with all relevant knobs : button than can be assigned to eye AF, AF/MF switch, Optical stabilisation

The tradeoff made to sacrifice distorsion (quite important) for sharpness is a good one to my opinion as those will be automatically corrected by a lightroom lens profile very soon

With its correct price tag of 1350 euros, I expect this lens to become the standard high quality zoom lens for A7RIII/A9 if you don’t want to invest in the Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM

Highly recommended !

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