Have a look and don’t hesitate to share with other A99 users.”

Rawfa: “I´ve recently took the NEX-7 through Brazil´s northwest beaches (some of the most paradise like in the world) and the Amazon jungle and I´ve some great feedback from people. Anyway, feel free to post here if you want:

Anirban: “I’ve been following your blog for about a year now and find it quite informative. I recently took my Sony A99 for a journey up the Rockies. I’ve recorded my journey at http://www.eternallycreative.com/adventures/rockies
The entire journey was shot with a Sony A99 with a Zeiss 24mm f/2.0. The camera and lens combination has been my go-to choice for landscape photography. I would like to share this as I think it’ll help anyone in the fence about buying an A99.
Anonymous: Hi Andrea, hope you have managed to get some relaxing time with your family over these past days. Not sure if you are interested to know about this and share it with your readers. There is a brand new Sony Center openned in the beautiful Hungarian town of Gyor. The owner filmed the new store being built here http://vimeo.com/73910125 the same store manager also filmed Paul Genge (ex Sony UK) wedding in Hungary a couple of weeks ago. http://vimeo.com/72616351 thought you might like to see the films all shot on Sony a99 and a65”

Stockphotosecrets posted that image (Click here) showing what cameras are the most used on Dreamtime service. As you can see the Sony world is quite small! There is a lot to do to catch up with the two big ones, better cameras, better support, better pricing…I want it all ;)

Let’s hope the new RX, ILCE and NEX-FF cameras will be the first step into the right direction to make that small planet grow!

NEX-FS700R promo video

Sony just released that NEX-FS700R promo video. The only difference with the previous model is the version 3.0 firmware with 4k support and slog2.

The second E-mount news of the day is that the Zeiss 16-70mm is now shipping in Asia. You can buy it via eBay resellers in [shoplink 21125 ebay]Hong Kong (Click here)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 21124 ebay]Korea (Click here)[/shoplink]. they ave the lens in Stock for worldwide shipment. But you are likely going to have some import tax on it.
