Share

Actioncam

On January 5th Sony will livestream their CES product announcement. You can follow it live here on SAR. And what can we expect to get?

Our sources confirmed there will be a new Action Camera and new Handycameras. They also confirmed Sony is ready to launch a new A99 successor but it’s unconfirmed if that’s coming at CES or a month later at CP+.

But today I got the full AS50 action camera specs. So here they are:

-Same as usually Zeiss lens
-XAVC-S 50mbps codec
-FullHd recording 60p
-New menu with icons (much easier and faster to navigiate)
-Waterproof up to 60m with included case
-Batery compartement is similar to the one in az1, but as50 works with same batery as as20
-Bluetooth (to power on camera with the remote)
-Electronic zoom
-There will be new remote rm-lvr3 but will not be sold with as50 and will be relised later in 2016

Brandon: “I just released a new film, “Balinese”, shot on A7s, 100% handheld.  This is the result of a month of living and filming on the island, immersing myself in Balinese culture.  I’m continually amazed by the flexibility of this camera in difficult environments.  Hope you enjoy! https://vimeo.com/136405903“

New A7rII firmware update fixes overheating issue. Watch the test!

Share


The video on top proves that overheating issues is now gone thanks to the new 3.0 A7rII firmware. The video has been shot for 2:51 hours(!) in super 35, 24p 100mbps mode. Jonathan writes:

As I’m posting I’m still recording and I’m at 2 hours and 51 minutes. I’m going to stop. Just to be clear. The recording still stop at 29:50 each time. I just pressed record immediately after it stopped. Overheating would normally occur right after the first recording.

The new firmware also improved the chromatic aberration correction on the Sony A7rII and A7sII camera.
