Sony A7r review by Philip Bloom and Ming Thein.

Share

The Sony mirrorless camera review…within a review…within a review…. from Philip Bloom Reviews & Tutorials on Vimeo.

The well known bloggers and filmaker/photogrpaher posted their view about the new Sony A7r.

Philip Bloom writes: “All I can say is Sony, with the A7R, have made a really special camera that comes close to being utterly brilliant. Well three things let it down. The stills are amazing, but I’m not doing a review of the stills function, even though I have used it extensively for stills and the images are just gorgeous and HUGELY detailed. The three things are all do with the video function.”

Ming Thein writes: “ I like the direction Sony are heading in with the A7R: now if only they would hold the course and not get distracted…”

List and preorder links to all newly announced Sony stuff. New A5000 seems to not sell really well at Amazon.

Share

Sony also announced the most affordable 4K camcorder on the market yet.

–

First of all I have to stress those of you that forgot to read my previous rumors. The big new A and E-mount cameras will be announced the coming weeks and months. So don’t worry, the A5000 was just a little appetizer :)
That said the new A5000 doesn’t seem to sell well according to Amazon Mirrorless Popularity ranking (Click here). It’s a small nice camera but I guess what the Sony people is now waiting for is the new NEX-7, A77 and A99 successors!

But Sony also announced a lot more (non Alpha) consumer stuff. The Sony FDRAX100 for example is a “cheap” 4K camcorder. And I am pretty sure one of the next to be announced A-mount cameras will have 4K recording too. Anyway here is a list of all new Sony products…

Sigmas new 50mm ART and 18-200mm lenses.

Share

We have two new A-mount lenses from Sigma:

Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART lens specs at Sigma Photo. (Note: Sigma missed to add A-mount as an option on the link I gave you. But it’s just an error. Press releases do confirm there will be an A-mount. source: Sigma Japan, ePhotozine or Dpreview)
Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM at Sigma Photo.

Particularly the 50mm f/1.4 Full Frame lens sounds intriguing. It has a completely new design (retro focus with 13 elements and 8 groups) and if this lens performs as good as expected it could get surprisingly close to the [shoplink 23842 ebay]Zeiss Otus 50mm f/1.4[/shoplink] performance. There are no pricing info and no image samples yet. So we will have to wait a bit to see if this lens can fulfill our hopes!
