Sony A99 gets completely removed from the official Sony.net site.

Bildschirmfoto 2015-08-20 um 10.32.17

The official Sony.net site removed the Sony A99 from their product page. We have to see if that’s just a “mistake” or if Sony really discontinued the camera. It will be interesting to see if Sony Tokyo will decide to release the long due new A99II or not. Because so far from what I heard the A99II development has finished. But Sony Tokyo is evaluating if there is still a demand for such a camera or not.

Jared:https://vimeo.com/133890464. I filmed this while working on the set of Star Trek Continues. Filmed with the a6000 and 18-105mm f4. Not a true test of the cameras capabilities, but I would like to highlight the Timelapse App. Pretty great little app, easy to use, and pretty powerful. It gives the option to save as JPEG, Raw, Both, and/or MP4 or AVCHD movie. The Raw Images were so amazing for the all the pans, that I didn’t even use the AVCHD recordings. Also a plus that you can view the timelapse results without constantly scrolling a wheel or dial. Combined with the AC adapter, I just set it and left it.

Tom Stanworth:Hi there, I wrote a piece on my blog in response to the Photography Life article, ‘Debunking the Mirrorless Myth’ and have done my own comparisons, reaching very different conclusions. If you’re willing to post a link on SAR Fb or the website that would be great! http://thephotofundamentalist.com/?p=2619
