Digitalcameraworld: New cameras are not getting any better!

Digitalcameraworld compared the Image Quality of the last generation Sony A7rV cameras and concludes:

Evidently improvements in sensor tech – at least in terms of core stills image quality – have been slowing in recent years. Instead, we now see the likes of Sony marketing other features, like the speed of a sensor’s readout, and its corresponding impact on burst shooting speed and video capture performance.

I see no surprise in this: Focus has been on offering better video quality, autofocus and frame speed, more “vlogger” features and so forth. Still, I believe Image Quality major improvements are still possible! I see a lot of Sony patents around “foveon” alike sensor that could give quite a big bump in terms of resolution and dynamic range. And there might be some other tech on the horizon that we haven’t spoken about it yet!

Opticallimits Viltrox 16mm f/1.8 FE review: “impressed!”

Viltrox 16mm f/1.8 FE lens at BHphoto, Amazon US&EU and PerGear.

Also very reliable reviewer Opticallimits is impressed by the new Viltrox 16mm f/1.8 FE lens performance:

Many users may still not be aware of Viltrox as a lens manufacturer, but they are becoming a force to be reckoned with. The AF 16mm f/1.8 FE leaves the Laowa 15mm f/2 far behind in the dust. It’s a very serious alternative to Sony’s own offering. And Viltrox managed this at a much lower price tag. Therefore – Highly Recommended!
