Not the crypto but the BAG business is exploding :) The new Peter McKinnon X NOMATIC Everyday Camera Line collected over 1 million dollars on Kickstarter (Click here).
CineD published their full Sony A1 review along the mini-doc video I embedded at the bottom. Their conclusions is:
The Alpha 1 is the best all-round flagship mirrorless camera ever produced by Sony. Yes, it comes with a price, but it can easily replace two separate camera bodies. So in the end, it can makes perfect (purchasing) sense to content creators, who are equally dedicating time to take photos and videos. (And the proof is in the pudding as we are being told by our site sponsors that “within a week of it’s announcement, there were as many preorders for the A1 as for the a7S III). I’m sure you guys can agree, that Sony made an amazing leap from being a company who manufacturer “just another camera that can shoot videos and high quality photos” to one of the leaders in this field. Merging the Alpha team together with Sony’s professional division is certainly starting to show its footprint and us, the users, can only benefit from it.
We are going to get the new 35mm f/1.4 FE Lens. I already leaked the specs and images yesterday…
$899
Compare to Sony GM,At the center of resolution, it is good as Sony GM. At the corner of resolution,Sony GM is better. AF speed is slower than Sony GM. Sigma Art is much lighter and cheaper. Due to issue of 28-70 Art, Announcement is delayed. Sigma will start to sell this new lens July or June in this year.
The Sony a1 is the most refined Alpha-series interchangeable lens camera yet. Its combination of speed and resolution for both stills and video set it apart in a crowded field of excellent options, though that combination is also responsible for the price it commands. But the fact remains, most any professional photographer will be able to use the a1 for most anything they’d think to shoot.
