Message to source: Thanks for the info…but what about thew A7sIV?

Share

A super reliable and trusted source contacted me via rumor box. The only way I can ask him question si by publishing a post on SAR. SO here are my questions for him:

  • Thanks for all the info, but can you confirm the A7sIV is coming in 2024 or not?
  • You happen to have some info on competition too? Hint….DJI :)
  • When you mention a release period…this is when the product will start to be on the market. Announcement is going to happen 1-2 months earlier right?
  • I am sure there will be more lenses than the ones you mentioned  right?

Thanks!

Sony a9 III Global Shutter Flash Sync – The TRUTH w/ PROOF!

Share

Miguel writes:

With the Sony a9 III’s new global shutter, a lot of questions and misinformation has been floating around the interwebs. In this quick video, I hope to answer some questions and shed some light on one of the camera’s biggest claims; it’s ability to sync at up to 1/80,000 of a second with a flash! I test it here in this video with the Westcott FJ400 at a variety of settings, but I’m interested in hearing what you’d like to see next! I have a few more days with the camera so be sure to sound off in the comments with what you’d like and I’ll do my best to deliver.

First WILD rumors about the Sony A7sIV specs: 2 layer sensor and crazy ISO performance?

Share

The A7sIII is nearly four years old. So it’s now due of a replacement. But I did not get any info yet from trusted sources about when to expect the new A7sIV. Sometimes I even wonder if tere will be ever a new A7sIV because of cameras like the FX3 and A9III that can do perfectly fine video too.

All I am getting now are wild rumors from unknown sources. Here I am going to share one of them just for the sake of discussion. Would a A7sIV with 2 layer sensor make sense to you? Here are the rumored specs:

My info about A7siv – Actual: 20.5 Megapixel
Effective: 19 Megapixel same/similar as FX9, but with 2 layer transistor and large photodiode for 2x low light.

Stacked sensor.
No global shutter but very low rolling shutter.
No AA filter.
6k120p 6k60 6k30 6k24.
4k120/60/30/24 Oversampled from 6k crisp image.
8 stops ibis standard plus dynamic active stab.
Dual iso with second iso at 25600 !
Slightly Improved evf, screen.
Better ergonomics.
No overheating new radiator to withstand increased resolution and oversampling.

All the best.
Price increase from 3499$ to 4000$ only.

Question to my readers: Best gear to scan film with Sony A7rV camera

Share

Hi Folks!

I am currently investigating the ideal setup to scan my 35mm and 120mm film rolls using my Sony A7rV. If you have some experience in this please let me know what your gear is. For now this is the gear that is on my shopping list:

Lens: Laowa 90mm 2:1 macro lens (maybe short focal length would be better?)
Scan kit: Valoi 360 (Would love ot get the Negative supply kit but this we can’t buy in Europe).
Copy Stand: Novoflex ms repro
Head: Manfrotto 234rc
Mat: Ansio cutting mat.
Software: NegativeLabPro.

One ore thing regarding development kit:
I am highly intrigued by this gear made by a German Chemist: https://www.filmomat.eu/light
