Good news! Super 35mm mode on Sony A7S dramatically reduces rolling shutter

Techradar posted the full A7s review and writes:

Well, it’s an excellent camera, but still it’s one that has limited appeal. The average enthusiast is usually less concerned about low light performance and high sensitivity settings than pros who have to shoot in gloomy conditions. A professional wedding photographer, for example, might like it for its low light capability when shooting in churches and candle-lit receptions, but they are also likely to carry an A7 to enable them to take larger images (and therefore sell more expensive large prints) when shooting outdoors.

Ashley: “If you were looking for some content to post on your page, there are a couple Sony a7 specific tutorial videos we posted a short time ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX2G5TxyHfo. This one will compare the process and end result of the in camera panoramic mode to a hand stitched panoramic. It also shows who simple the process is for the Sony a7 versus going through Photoshop and putting the panoramic together.
This video will show how to setup the time lapse application available on the NEX cameras, as well as showing some time lapse examples made from the a7 and the application: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgMhc-ROdqQ”
