Toshiba to sell image sensor business to Sony!

Share

Bildschirmfoto 2015-10-24 um 09.13.31

Reuters reports that Sony is acquiring the Toshiba image sensor business. This is quite a big news! Both Toshiba tech and production facility will help Sony to increase their market share. Right now Sony produces 40% of the worldwide sensor production.

I am wondering how other companies like Samsung and Canon can keep up with Sony’s sensor powers. Maybe in 2-3 years from now Sony’s E-mount cameras will be a generation ahead over the competition…

RX10 II review on spanish magazine FOTO DNG.

Vit: “This is the part 3 of the Sony a7rII review. The first two test were mainly about the camera quality and lowlight performance. And this part 3 is just random video in Melbourne City. I shot the video in Super 35mm mode 4K XAVC-S format with S-Log 2 picture profile, used EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens with Metabones T SpeedBooster Ultra. And graded in FilmConvert Pro 2.1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhrUx5Z7roM”

Jonas: “I bought an a7Rii last week and i tried the 100fps 720p xavc-s recording for some random garden trampoline shots on slog2.
I’ve never done any color grading before so bear with me for lack of post production skills.
Just wanted to share one of the best and happiest experiences of my everyday life and display for everyone how nice footage you can collect with your sony camera.
Lens is the batis 25/2 lens ;)
