Alexandre: “After having the small flash (F20M), I decided to buy the Sony HVL-F43M and I tested it by shooting models at the Bangkok Motor Sales last week. I’m really satisfied, this is a professional flash, very efficient and still not too heavy nor bulky.  You can see here the most beautiful models from this Motor Show, shot with my Sony A7R+FE35mmF2.8 and the Flash Sony HVL-F43M. http://thailandfacts.com/bangkok-grand-motor-sales-2014-pretty-thai-models/“

Dino: “I just wanted to share a review I had done on the classic Olympus OM 50mm f/1.4 lens on the Sony A7. For such a relatively inexpensive prime lens it has surprised me on how well it had performed. I highly recommend this lens. http://13thfloorphotography.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-weekend-with-sony-a7-and-olympus-om.html#more“

Gary: “I am an avid Sony user. A77, A99 and CX900 camcorder. Just wanted to send you a link to a new video I made comparing the XAVCS vs AVCHD video codecs using the CX900. I looked everywhere for any kind of real life comparisons and could not find any anywhere. So I did a little test myself. The video shows a few different test shots from everyday situations and verifies my suspicions that the XAVCs Codec does handle highlights beter than AVCHD as well as find detail, even when the files are re-rendered as 28Mbps Mp4 files. Anyway here’s the link. Not sure if you would like to share this. I just thought it was worth doing because there are no such comparisons out there….Anywhere. http://youtu.be/P6ABJ-doFtQ“

Christian: “As you know, several Sony high-end cameras allow to use an Android/iOS app to  take pictures over WiFi, but there are no applications for BlackBerry smartphones to do that. Since I’m a developer, I thought I’d like to use that feature from my phone, a BlackBerry Q10, so I developed a free app, and I just posted it in BlackBerry World (the app market for BlackBerry smartphones). I’ve seen you sometimes post some information about apps, so I’d like you to consider if it’s worth to be shared. The app name is “Remote Shutter”, and you can find it under this URL: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/59935482.”

A couple of years ago nobody would have ever questioned the leadership of Canon and Nikon in the system camera market. But things are quickly changing and Nikon reported a huge loss and forceast drop at their latest financial report. Why should we care?

1) First question is if Nikon will try to compete against Sony’s A7 series or not by proposing a sort of mirrorless [shoplink 28078 ebay]FM camera[/shoplink]. I guess we will see soon at Photokina if Nikon will finally react.

2) In the meantime their latest D610 with Sony’s 24MP sensor sells for $1399 only on [shoplink 28077 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. May be a sign that they are trying to force sales. And I bet we will see soon Full Frame cameras for just $1,000 too.

3) Will Nikon still try to rely on Sony sensors or try to break boundaries with something more revolutionary made from their own house or non-Sony partners?

My bet is that Sony will surpass Nikon in terms of system camera sales in two years from now… :)

I guess most of you know how car maker (particularly German car makers) are focusing on image sensor technology to create save cars. And according to Nikkei Sony is ready to conquer the automotive image sensor market too. Aptina and OmniVision are the current leaders but Sony aims to eventually pick up 50% of the market.

The interesting news here is that Sony developed a new special sensor for automotive applications which is “10 times as sensitive to light as existing chips, allowing for easier detection of objects in dark environments. The sensor can provide a color display of the surrounding area even in moonlight, enabling it to detect obstacles more readily than a driver can.”

The sensor will be ready for late 2015.
