The image above shows you a part of the new Hassleblad camera that will be announced on June 22 at 14:00 Berlin time. It seems to be highly likely that Sony is involved into this project too. At least with the 50MP medium format sensor but probably also with some more tech. So the camera will be:
– First Hasselblad mirrorless system camera
– Sony 50MP sensor (twice the area an the FF sensor)
– Built-in viewfinder
It will be interetsing to see what kind of mount Hassleblad will use for this. And if Sony could “join” that system sometimes in the near future!
Hasselblad is teasing the event with the phrase “game changer in the world of photography”. Ming Thein also writes:
“let’s say I do have some knowledge about what this might be, and it’s at least twice as interesting as they promise:) Feel free to speculate away in the comments; I shall neither confirm nor deny…”
That sounds promising!!!

Jonathan: “Sony was kind enough to lend me their new 85mm f/1.4 GM lens, which I compared to the Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 that I already own. Both are outstanding, but the Sony just took it to another level. So now I’m switching (an expensive proposition, but worth it). Please check out the pictures.

The days of Sony clone camera like the Stellar and Lunar are over. And Hasselblad wants signal the new era by announcing a “game changer in the world of photography“. You can follow the announcement live on June 22 at 14:00 CET time (Berlin time). There is yet no clue about what camera they will announce. I am pretty confident that this might be a new mirrorless system camera. Not sure if it’s medium format. It will be also interesting to see how Sony is involved in this!
P.S.: My dream could become true soon?[shoplink 37985 ebay]Hasselblad X-Pan (here on eBay)[/shoplink] with 100MP sensor?

How well does a Sony mirrorless camera take an African safari? How does it handle the dust? What about using it for wildlife? People and landscapes? Matt Granger and Jonathan Stewart discussed the pros and cons of the Sony mirrorless system when compared to the top of the line from Nikon.
Their answers in short:
The question is if Sony thinks that wildlife and sport photography are important for their business right now. It’s a real small niche and it’s hard to win over professional Canon and Nikon photographers!

Photozone posted the full Sony 90mm FE lens review on the NEX-7:
“The Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 G OSS macro performed great on the Sony A7R II already so it doesn’t come as a surprise that it is even a bit better on an 24mp APS-C camera.Of course, our “highly recommended” mark remains intact in the APS-C scope. Sony is on quite a run really. Both Canon and Nikon should be scared by now …“

Side note: Nice to see the NEX-7 again. Why not make a new version of it Sony? :)

Programmer Hrvoje created the A6300 primers to enhance the video performance (Download: omeneo.com/primers/). He sent me that message:
I’ve done a much more deeper analysis to see how to further reduce banding and now with this camera a new approach has been implemented with very good results. S-Log3 was found too problematic even with new approach due to very compressed DR within 8 bits, so S-Log2 was chosen as a better option. Primers package now comes for S-Log2 gamma and modified Cine4 gamma. Detailed tests were done to find the optimal base for the best effect of Primers and suggested camera setup is on the Primers page.
S-Log2 now has significantly reduced banding and modded Cine4 has no problems with banding. S-Log2 will give about a stop or so more DR in case you need it, such as bright windows shot from interior but Cine4 modified with Primers should work very well in exteriors. Prores is preferred for recording but Primers also work with XAVC-S as well.
For the Primers to properly improve the color response, A6300 should be setup exactly as suggested on the Primers web page. Two picture profiles, one for Cine4 gamma, other for S-log2. It takes 30 seconds to do it and off you go and add Primers later to do their thing.
