Fuji believes next generation (Sony) sensors should be enough to make Mirrorless beat DSLRs in every respect.

Share

Back in February Dpreview interviewed Mr. Toshihisa Iida from Fuji. I missed to report one of his most interesting statements is this:

“There are several things that mirrorless manufacturers need to focus on. Number one is speed, still, to attract sports photographers. Also viewfinder blackout, we need to innovate there. Maybe one more processor and sensor generation should be enough to make mirrorless beat DSLRs in every respect.”

As you all know Fuji uses Sony sensors. That means they are confident Sony’s next generation sensor with improved on phase detection will be good enough to beat DSLR cameras in the “sports photography” segment.

Sony Ambassador Spencer Pablo explains what you need to take photos of the Solar Eclipse

Share

Spencer Pablo explained at Alphauniverse what gear he is using to shoot the US Eclipse. Check it out! He also has a nice advice:

If you find that you’re getting hung up on your gear and the eclipse is seconds away, stop. Use those solar glasses and enjoy the show with your own (protected) eyeballs. It’s better to experience the eclipse than it is to get frustrated trying to photograph it and missing the entire event.

Yes please…don’t forget to enjoy the moment :)

There is also a long list of tutorials on that special Bhphoto eclipse page.
