Exactly one year ago I lost a friend with whom I built an entire giant camera to create unique direct positive Ilfochrome images. On October 6 for three months you can see his work and our images shot with the giant Cube camera in the Kunsthaus in Merano (Italy). If you choose to come let me know and I will accompany you.
Nikkei analyzed the 2022 global market share in the electronics industry. In the digital camera market Canon is well ahead of Sony which lost about 0,9% market share compared to the previous year. When it comes to image sensors Sony is on top with a big leap over Samsung.
Sony still leads in the Full Frame mirrorless segment but Canon is doing much better when it comes to fixed lens cameras and APS-C. Something we know Sony has neglected in the past years :( I wonder if the booming logging market will make it so that Sony will gain market share in 2023. Because this year they launched two new logging cameras, the ZV-E1 and ZV-1II which seem to sell quite well.
Two new sources shared the following info about the Burano E-mount Full Frame Cine Alta camera that Sony will announced on September 12.
Source 1:
CineAlta Burano’s readout speed is within 1ms (open gate), maintaining the excellent quantum efficiency and high signal-to-noise ratio characteristics of the BSI stacked sensor, and realizing an image view that approximates the global shutter, and in the vast majority of scenarios, it is not possible to notice the difference from the global shutter.
Source 2:
Trade show vendor leaked to me on Wed that she was told the Sony Burano will have a price of $24000.
Again, those are from new sources so I can’t be sure yet if the info is correct. But for sure that fast readout speed sounds exciting and maybe also hints at the capability of the future A9III?
