10 Bit vs 8 Bit – Sony FS5 vs Sony a7Sii a7Rii – Is 10 Bit Always Better?

Sony A6300 Review: 48 hour affair (Ata Adnan).
2016 Roundup: Interchangeable Lens Cameras $800-1200 (Dpreview).
The Future of Image Sensor Technology – Beyond the Bayer CFA (Cinema5D).
Motorcycle Adventure in Italy – 5 Days with the a6300 (SonyAlphaForum).
Firmware update for the FS5 (Sony UK).

Loup: “I have done a video with the A7R II and RX100 IV which in my opinion really shows the potential of what you can do with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO603YjuIoY”

Florian: “Quick link to a cinema graph done with the sony a6300, 16-35mm f/4 (canon, adapter via commlite), nothing special but shows nicely how much detail in the shadows and highlights the a6300 can retain even in video mode. https://media.giphy.com/media/26vUucU5JEANiAvQc/giphy.gif Slog in that tiny body is incredible…still can’t wrap my head around the size and power of it!“

(SR4) 70-200mm GM price confirmed ot be around 3.000 Euro

FE70-200mmGM

I have been told the price listed by Kamerahuset.dk is the right one. The Danish Krone price equals to around 3.000 Euro (or $3350). Of course you have to expect the real Euro or Dollar price to be slightly different due the different tax system. Interesting details of the Kamerahuset image on top: It uses one of the new FE teleconverters (the 2.x).

70-200mm GM lens is listed with no preorders option at Amazon US, BHphoto, BestBuy, Digitalrev.
Sony FE 1.4x Teleconverter at BHphoto.
Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverter BHphoto.

Phillip Reeve has a rolling review of that lens:

The build quality is very nice as the lens is an all metal construction and feels very solid, tolerances are very low and the markings are engraved and filled with white (and red) paint.
