Sony ZV-E10 II vs Panasonic S9: Which is the better CREATOR CAMERA?

Peta Pixel has pitted the new Sony ZV-E10II against the Lumix S9. I agree with Jordan when he says that the Sony is the wiser and more mature choice. However, I like the design of the S9 and hope that someday Sony will also make a nice-looking super-compact full frame camera that does not look plastic like the ZV-E1.

Cool combo: Images of the new Voigtlander 50mm f/1.0 lens on the Sony A7cII

DC.watch shared a cool set of images of this combo: Voigtlander 50mm f/1.0 lens on the Sony A7cII. What impresses me is that this f/1.0 lens looks pretty good on the smaller A7c series cameras. It is by no means too big or too heavy. I own the lens and plan to post a review sometime this summer. But so far I can say that the image quality and character are impressive. The only downside is that the focus has to be set manually. But I am a dinosaur… I like to manual focus!

Sigma 500mm FE lens review by LensVid: “one of the most impressive lenses that Sigma developed to date”

500mm f/5.6 at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, FotoErhardt, Calumet, WexUK.

LensVid reviewed the new Sigma 500mm FE lens and concluded:

The 500mm f/5.6 is one of the most impressive lenses that Sigma developed to date, with a compact and light design, rugged build with all of the new technologies and features available to the company at the moment.
While there are quite a few zoom options available for Sony shooters that are less expensive including the Sony 200-600mm and the Sony 100-400mm that we also worked with (which sells for about the same price as the with a 1.4X teleconverter, making it a 140mm-560mm f/6.7-f/8), we always felt that a non-extending compact and lightweight prime is the better choice, especially for bird shooters (but that is more of a personal choice).
