(SR5) New A7 line will have A6500 menu. And a flash info….

Share

I got these small info from a reliable source:

1, they have no plans to bring the new menu design (from a6500) to the current a7 line but would be using it on newer models

2, current e mount flashes can not fire the af beam (on the flash) when another flash is being controlled wirelessly. This is a limitation of the current implementation and is currently impossible to fix.

An interesting choice at Hasselblad: Ming Thein is the new Chief of Strategy

Share


Ming Thein  © Hasselblad

Well that sounds unusual: Hassleblad appointed Ming Thein as new Chief of Strategy. It’s unusual because usually we see “pure” business manager or engineers in that position and not a real skilled and well-known photographer like Ming Thein (althaugh he has some important business experience too). It will be interesting to see if Ming Thein can lead back Hasselblad to past glorious. I think he certainly has the talent to do so. But it will be a difficult work now that Fuji is competing in that segment too.

It would be my dream if Hasselblad and Sony could work together on a 55x41mm large mirrorless medium format system camera. Let’s see if Ming Thein will take note of my wish :)

(SR2) UPDATED: No new FS5II E-mount camcorder at NAB?

Share


Image on top shows the current FS5

I just got these two rumors. A part of the rumored 8K camcorder Sony could also announce a new FS5II E-mount camcorder:

Source 1: Camcorder similar to the Sony FS5 . With global shutter.

Source 2:  I was told that I should wait with my purchase of FS5 now. Because it is highly possible that new camcorder with 4k60p is coming on NAB (because of URSA mini PRO and GH5).

UPDATE:M Seems like the rumors are not correct. I got info the FS5II will now NOT be announced at NAB.

Reminder: Sony has a press conference scheduled for April 23 at 3 am Las Vegas time (NAB show start).
