The Helium 8K is an impressive achievement by RED. For those with the budget, its top-of-the-line image quality, high frame rate, and 16-bit RAW capture capability absolutely make it worth considering as a competitor to high-end DSLRs and medium-format cameras for still image capture.
Now let’s see if the next generation FE cameras can close that 10 points gap…

Joe: “I did a quick review of the HDVATE camera cage review for the Sony A6500, its a half cage that works well for videomakers. https://youtu.be/OVSiSMfN8T8“
This might be a good news for the new A99II camera owners: In February Sigma will announce a new 24-70mm f/2.8 ART lens. And I hope it will be available for A-mount too! The optical performance will certainly be much superior to the current 24-70mm EX DG A-mount lens.
Just two days ago Photozone posted a not so favorable 24-70mm GM lens review. Jannik Peters now posted his 24-70mM GM review and sent me a note saying that he could NOT agree with the negative Photozone statements about the quality of the bokeh and the longitudinal CA issue. His conclusion is:
This zoom lens can keep up optically with many of the best prime lenses in every regard except of speed and flare resistance. Furthermore, it is built to highest standards, offers pleasing handling, focusing and flexibility. The lens is very expensive but the price of the lens is adequate in relation to it’s performance and to the prices of it’s competitors.
Just to say how reviewers can have different opinions on the very same lens…
