The 512GB Type A card from Airusan now sells for $240 only at Amazon US (Click here). SAR readers that tested the card sails it works just fine. Keep in mind, however, that the VPG400 icon on the card is misleading, as it has not yet received official approval from the Compact Flash Association.
Reminder: Special SD card deals:
Lowest price ever on the ProGrade 256GB V60 Sd card now for $71 only at Amazon, Bhphoto.
The newly announced Nikon Z6III is the world’s first camera using a “partially” stacked CMOS sensor. The goal of this design was to offer some of the benefits of a stacked sensor without all the expense. But this appears to come to quite a great cost in Image Quality:
Bill Claff from PhotonsToPhotos posted the Nikon Z6III dynamic range test results and up to ISO 800 the Nikon lags clearly behind the Sony. At least 1 stop less performance and at average ISO even 1.5 stops less! Looking at this perspective, Sony has no reason to rush the launch of the Sony A7V. Now, I am realistic enough to claim that a camera is more than just Dynamic Range and the Nikon has certainly many other cool features people can like. But the dynamic range performance is so inferior to that of the Sony that I think this may be a knockout criterion for some possible buyers. What do you think?
Sony Japan officially marked the Sony A9II as discontinued (Source: Asobinet). If you want this camera you can still buy it on Amazon and BHphoto before stock runs out.
On July 10 Sony will announce the new ZV-E10II and the new Sony E 16-50mm F/3.5-5.6 OSS II. The New 85mm f/1.4 GM II is coming very soon too but I don’t have confirmation on the announcement date. Here are the specs for the new gear:
And a Weibo account also shared some additional data which I don’t know if they are just an abvisous good guess (because the ZV-E10II has same A6700 sensor the specs are obviously about the same). This is what they write:
26MP back-illuminated sensor
BIONZ XR processor
4K120p, Full HD240p, 10bit 4:2:2
Continuous shooting at 11fps
759-point phase-detection AF covering 93% of the screen
S-Log3, S-Gamut3, S-Cinetone
User LUTs
Built-in microphone + input terminal
USB streaming
1MP 3-inch touch panel
Price: about 5,800 RMB (about 128,000 yen)
It is speculated that the APS-C motorized zoom will also be renewed and announced at the same time.
