LIke I told you in my previous post the new RX100m4 is in Stock for the first time today at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera, Uniquephoto. And if you want to see the RX100m4 1,000fps feature in action just watch the video below:
SHot in Handheld(!) mode at 40x which means eighty seconds on the video corresponds to two seconds in real-time. Take that MR. Einstein with you old “relativity theory” :)
Matt Granger is a long time friend of SAR and one of the few reviewers that I think to be truly independent (hard to find them nowadays). ON the video above he shares his thoughts about the current state of the Sony A7 system. The question is: Beside all the hype for the A7rII is Mirrorles really catching up with the best DSLR on the market?

Both new Batis lenses will ship from July 17 according to BHphoto (Click here). And as I told you yesterday the 90mm FE lens is now in Stock at Amazon and BHphoto.
25mm Batis: “The lens is quick to focus, and while it may look a tad big on the A7II, it’s comfortable to hold and makes shooting a breeze. Bokeh (ahhh the “B” Word!) is actually not that shallow because of the wideness of the focal length, but you get some nice shallow depth of field when the subject is close to the camera. What can I say? I’m sold!”
85mm Batis: “It compresses facial features nicely and gives a nice fall off to the background. The Batis 85mm f1.8 has all the hallmarks of a great portrait lens. I’ve always preferred the f1.8 versions of 85mm lenses as the 1.4 versions tend to be too shallow to be of much use. The 1.8/85 is fast to focus and easy to work with.“
1) A7rII with adapted 50mm Sigma EF lens: In fact, it’s this accurate phase-detect AF that allows the a7R II to focus the Sigma 50mm F1.4 lens with far more accuracy than a DSLR. We have to microadjust F1.4 primes all the time on DSLRs to get accurate focus out of them, and even then, peripheral AF points may continue to be off
2) A7rII with 24-70mm FE lens: The camera automatically finds the nearest eye, and continuously focuses on it, despite rather drastic and fast movement along the X, Y, and Z (distance) axes. No hunting, no jumping off to some other subject, just fast and effective AF on Richard’s eye.
3) Eye AF on the RX100m4: it’s really, really good, especially when you consider the RX100 IV has a contrast-detect only AF system.
