The Swedish company Lit System just launched the Lit Duo 1 Light Meter on Kickstarter (Click here). And it already collected over half a million dollars! Check out their description page as it has a ton of features pro’s absolutely need!

This is how it works:

This image was taken by Doug Mills from the “New York Times”. UPDATE: Other outlets previously guessed the shot was taken with the A9III. But Doug MIlls now clarified what gear he used by sharing the EXIF data: Sony A1 and the 24mm f/1.4 GM lens (the image has been cropped in post to get a closer view of the bullet).

Sony seems to have won over quite a big portion of photographers in the news business realm. And it’s also interesting to see how many Sony cameras were used during the Trump event.

Before you read the article: No political statements allowed! We are only reporting about the photographic aspect of this dramatic event.

AP and Washington Post photographer Evan Vucci used the Sony A9III to shoot this image that will surely be etched in the history of the United States and beyond. Not that it matters much, but I thought it was a curiosity worth sharing.

Here is a college video of Evan who was also using the Sony A9III and had an action camera to record himself:

The large Japanese store Mapcamera has shared the top 10 best-selling cameras in June:

1. FujiFilm X-T50
2. Lumix S9
3. Sony α7C II
4. Nikon Z f
5. FujiFilm X100VI
6. Nikon Z8
7. Sony α7IV
8. Sony α7RV
9. Canon EOS R6 Mark II
10. FujiFilm GFX100sII

For a long time the A7cII camera has been at the top of this ranking. I am not surprised to see the X-T50 at the top of the ranking, since it has just started shipping. I am a little more surprised to see the good sales of the Lumix S9, which is a rather controversial camera.
