Tony & Chelsea Northrup:

We review the Sony RX100 Mk 6 (http://sdp.io/rx1006). It’s a purse-sized camera that creates better images and video than your smartphone can thanks to a 24-200mm equivalent lens. However, it has some drawbacks… the battery life is poor, there’s no mic or headphone jack, no intervalometer, and video is limited to 5 minutes of 4k/30p. Still, it’s the best option for those looking for a smaller camera (when you don’t want to bring your DSLR) or for smartphone shooters who want better action and telephoto shots.

And here is the test from Precision Camera

(SR4) Seems Sony is going to announce 400mm f/2.8 pricing and specs within few days?

Share

Two sources confirmed that they heard about a Sony announcement coming within days. And it probably be related to the 400mm f/2.8 FE.

They didn’t tell me this but there might be something else too???

(SR2) First unconfirmed rumors about a possible Sony product announcement in early July…

Share

I got first unconfirmed rumors about a possible Sony announcement in early July. I hope trusted sources reading this can confirm or deny this soon. It would make sense if Sony would announce the full specs and pricing of the 400mm f/2.8 FE lens in July. The lens is expected to be available in September according to BHphoto.

Moreover Sony recently registered a new camera code….for the A6700?

Sony kicks out influencer Daryl Aiden Yow after discovering he shared modified Stock photos

Share


A reader sent me this interesting story:

This influencer photographer, @darylaiden
(with over 100K followers) who’s a photography ambassador with Sony here in Singapore was recently exposed on online media for faking many of his Instagram photos with stock photos and Photoshop:
https://mothership.sg/2018/06/daryl-aiden-yow-instagram-photos-singapore/

Sony Singapore has taken down their official page featuring him, but you can still see the shots he claims he shot with Sony gear: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/darylaidenxsony/

Google Cache of the official Sony page that was taken down: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:GCHvUohX-SYJ:https://www.sony.com.sg/yourcreativeally+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=sg

As reported by Dpreview the Instagramer did apologize for this in his latest post.

Interestingly enough, his numbers of followers went UP(!!!) after all that buzz. Bad publicity is still publicity they say…

P.S.: follow me too I am no good photographer but my pics are boringly authentic :)
