Reminder: Sony has a press conference on January 8 and still one more camera to announce

Share

On January 8 at 5pm PT you can follow the Sony CES press conference live here on SonyAlphaRumors (there should be a video live stream). Like I told you before Sony usually does not announce new cameras at this show.

The only thing that gives us a very tiny bit of hope that we might get a camera is the fact that Sony registered a new camera with the code “WW541200”. But that camera might as well be announced in February before the CP+ show start.

Sony’s priority for 2017 are lenses, lenses and lenses!

Share

To give you a very general heads-up of what’s Sony’s goal for 2017. It is without doubt another year where Sony will focus on the FE lens development and release. This includes a new 16-35mm GM and new telephoto lenses. And a few A-mount lenses will get an update too.
There will be of course new cameras (A7 mark III and the A7rIII or A9). But the crazy camera release circle Sony had back in 2013-2014-2015 is definitely over.

sony a6500 AF tracking test for video at high fps from Jakob Brenk on Vimeo.

Sony | FS7 II | Feature Film shooting the monumental scenery of New York City (Sony Channel).
Sony A7 : 14 Bit uncompressed + PDAF with third party adapters (Change.org).
A6500 review by Ken Rockwell.

Every camera manufacturer runs some kind of ambassador scheme, somehow they don’t really represent women (Diyphotography).

To write a guest post on SAR follow the instruction on that page.

Pat: “Just did a ISO analysis of A99ii. Very impressive up to ISO 10,000. https://youtu.be/NckWT4Y4Itc“

Andreas: “I just made this low light test with the Sony A7s II with a Christmas theme. It’s shot in Sweden and Denmark (Copenhagen) and it shot internally to memory card. I used the Sony / Zeiss 16-35 f4 for wide shots. Most shots are with the Sony / Zeiss 55 1.8 and longer shots with the Sony G 70-200 f4. Iso ranged from 1600 to 51200.
I edited in Premiere Pro, imported the sequence into After Effects where I did a small noise reduction and exported to ProRes HQ. Color graded in Davinci Resolve with very small tweaks.

Mitakon 135mm f/1.4 is now shipping

Share

[shoplink 41641 ebay]Mitakon_135_FE[/shoplink]

On Facebook Mitakon confirmed they will ship soon ship the monstrous 135mm f/1.4 lens. The lens comes with E-mount too and was announced a year ago. To preorder the lens you have to deposit $500 at Zyoptics.net. But if you don’t absolutely need the f/1.4 I would strongly suggest to go for the superb Zeiss 135mm f/1.8 A-mount lens instead: [shopcountry 54214].
