TheCameraStoreTV: Sony a7 III Rodeo Field Test with Todd Korol

Share

TheCameraStoreTV:

The Sony a7 III mirrorless camera is impressive, especially considering the price point. But, is it a contender for a professional photographer who usually shoots this style of work with the powerhouse Canon EOS 5D Mark IV?
Evelyn Drake joins award-winning photojournalist Todd Korol at a couple of Alberta’s small-town rodeos to put the a7 III to the test capturing the rodeo action and the atmosphere in wet, muddy conditions.
All images in this episode were photographed by Todd Korol.

Sony A7III in USA at Adorama, BHphoto, Amazon, BestBuy, FocusCamera, BuyDig.
Sony a7III in Europe at Amazon DE, Calumet Germany, Amazon UK, ParkCameras UK, WexUK, Amazon FR, Amazon IT, Amazon ES.

You can now preorder the new Sony 400mm lens in the USA for the price of a kidney :)

Share

The USA preorders are now officially open and the lens is expected to start shipping out on September 28:
400mm f/2.8 FE at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon, FocusCamera. In EU at Calumet.de and ParkCamera.

I am curious to see how many preorders Sony will have on this lens. I really have no ide if it’s ZERO, TEN or more. I think the price is justified by the specs and new tech inside. But I don’t know how many sports photographers are really going to make the switch now. So here is the poll:

Are you going to buy this lens?
