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”

Brandon: “Thought I’d share a quick timelapse video I took of the Independence Day fireworks show in Washington, DC on July 4, 2014. All pictures and timelapse were taken with the Sony A7 + Zeiss FE 35mm lens. Photo’s were post-processed in Adobe Lightroom, but hte timelapse was 100% compiled using the Sony Timelapse in-camera application as a video. I wanted to see what the camera could do for hobbyists like myself with minimum time and effort. Video: http://youtu.be/ZZgkhZZBs4w”
Mario: “A7s test and quick video I shot at Westminster Station in London on the way home: http://shakefree.com/marios-blog/”
You may remember that a couple of months ago Sony Europe made a mess and said E-mount cameras have an on sensor stabilization (See Image on top). Well, the image is now gone but I got an interesting note form a highly trusted source: He told me that on sensor stabilization is technically possible on E-mount cameras! But the reason why Sony didn’t add this feature yet is simple: Sony isn’t yet sure if such a feature is a key factor for mirrorless camera buyers.
I figured a little POLL on SAR may help them to decide :) Imagine Sony using Olympus E-M1 stabilization system (likely the worlds best stabilization for photocameras yet).

Baron: “During our family vacation, I got to test the Sony FDR-AX100. As a tourist I needed a small and lightweight video camera. As a videographer I wanted to shoot in a higher resolution than HD. My subjects were shy and fast. The Malaysian weather was unpredictable. To add to that challenge, I brought along my hyperactive 3 year old daughter. I’m happy to say that the Sony AX100 met all my needs. Editing the 4K footage in Final Cut Pro X on an iMac was very smooth. Vacationeers and travellers would enjoy using the Sony AX100. Here’s the video. Be sure to watch it in 4K http://youtu.be/YOgwCtgO1Vs”
Heather & Mat: “Here is a recent article we wrote about using the Sony A7 (yes, that’s right, the A7 not the A7s!) for low-light video shooting. The video is of a contemporary dance performance that took place 30 metres underground in the ancient Bourbon Tunnel in Napoli (Naples).

The collection is going to be called Don’t Shoot Yourself! and orders available on kickstarter now https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/249128430/dont-shoot-yourself”
France: “I tried the flash Sony HVL-F20M with my Sony A7R & FE35F2.8, and it is amazing! considering the fair price and the light weight it gives very sharp and bright images : I shot some beautiful Cosplay models at the Thailand Comic Con 2014 last week. http://thailandfacts.com/thailand-comic-con-2014-models-cosplay-bangkok/”

Deniz: “We are Turkish Sony user group Alpha Turk, Want to tell you our new photo upload site www.sonyfotograf.com”
Bart: “I’ve been promising to do this comparison for a while. I compared a Sony A7r in “APS-C crop mode” (15MP) vs. full images from the A77 (24MP) for noise, detail and overall image quality. I don’t think you’ll be surprised with the results. I like both cameras – but it’s amazing what an A7r is capable of! If you use the same lens, and the same subject – in many cases the A7r in crop mode will out resolve, and have a cleaner image than the A77. In short – the A7r is Sony’s best crop body (until the A77II is shipped) http://www.leica-boss.com/2014/05/sony-a7r-a-better-aps-c-camera-than-the-sony-a77/”

Tomas: “Perhaps I have something interesting for your weekend roundups. I, Thomas Worbs, am the owner and operator of www.mountainpanoramas.com. I rececently equipped and trained the expedition leader Tim Mosedale (www.timmosedale.co.uk) for shooting high resolution panoramics in the Everest Region. Tim did all the photography, stitching and retuche I did. Two panoramas are now finalized:
http://www.mountainpanoramas.com/___p/___p.html?panoid=2014_M2&labels=1 – Gokyo Ri
http://www.mountainpanoramas.com/___p/___p.html?panoid=2014_M1&labels=1 – Everest Base Camp
These panoramas are interactive, you can move around dragging the mouse. Mouse wheel will zoom in. Try to zoom, it will almost never end. It was the first time that we could produce Gigapixel Full Sphere interactive panoramas with a low weight equipment suitable to be brought up in high mountain regions. The equipment: Sony A7R, Sony/Zeiss 35 mm, Bushman Panoramic Gobi head (www.bushman-panoramic.com), Gitzo ultralight carbon tripod.“
