Curiosity: The new Avatar, Black Panther and Top Gun movies have all been shot on Sony Venice E-mount camcorder

Share

A gentle reminder from Sony UK that the Sony Venice E-mount camera rules the professional movie world too! Ah, I still remember the good old days when Canon/Nikon fanboys said E-mount was a poorly designed mount that would not allow professional use :)

Comparing the new Canon R8 with the Sony A7III and A7II

Share

This week Canon announced the new R8 camera. You can compare the camera specs on this special BHphoto page. Sony has no direct competitor against it: The A7II is way more expensive and the A7II is cheaper but also technologically “older”.

What do you think, should Sony make a sort of A5 entry level FF camera or just lower the price of the A7III?

I guess Sony will take their own approach and simply not care about the space currently occupied by the Nikon Z5 and Canon R8…
