Competition rumors: Nikon FF mirrorless on August 23 and Canon mirrorless (FF?) on September 4

Share

We have the dates of the big Mirrorless Full Frame war start :)

Nikon will announce their new FF mirrorless on August 23. While Canon has a big mirrorless (FF???) announcement on September 4. And what about Sony?. Sony is likely to announce the A7sIII some time after the big Nikon and Canon. Sony has not registered any new camera c ode in Asia (they usually register such codes 2-3 weeks before the announcement). And I guess Sony is eager to see what’s coming from the competition before they launch the A7sIII.

We have three major upcoming events where Sony could announce new gear:

– 13-18 September IBC Amsterdam.
– 26-29 September Photokina.
– 25-27 October Photoplus.

Of the three Photoplus is the one where usually Sony announces most of their E-mount stuff.

Big Problem With the Sony A7 III… It Stretches Your Video!

Share

Caleb sent me a message to report an issue with the A7III:

The Sony A7 III has a very odd problem when shooting 4K and is squeezing/stretching your video! I show you how I found this issue and share examples and solutions on how to fix the problem. Hopefully this issue gets resolved via a firmware update from Sony in the near future. Even with this problem, the Sony A7 III is an incredible camera and I wouldn’t count this as a deal breaker.

It’s unclear yet if there is some kind of weird setting causing this or if that’s a bug that hopefully Sony will address via firmware update. I invite Sony A7III owners to run their own test to confirm if it’s a bug or if it’s something that can be fixed via proper settings.
