A6000 AF test bt Thecamerastore. It’s the best bang of the buck.

Share

TheCameraStoreTV team tested the latest generation mirrorless camera autofocus performance and compared it to the best AF cameras of the world, the Nikon D4s (a $6,500 camera!). According to Chris the Sony A6000 is definitely the best bang for the buck. And along the Panasonic GH4 the performance is quite close to that of the exactly 10 times more expensive D4s!

Cannot wait to see the newer generation FF E-mount cameras having the same (and maybe even improved) af performance!

Sony FE 70-200mm gets Highly recommended at Photozone.

Share

Image sourtesy: Photozone.de.

Our friend Klaus from Photozone is known to be a very sever reviewer. Unlike so many other reviewer sites he rarely marks lenses with the “highly recommended” badge. So it’s a nice to read that the new Sony FE 70-200mm “survived” his detailed tests and made a very favorable impression:

The Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS is, undoubtedly, a high quality with just a few weaknesses. The Sony lens is not only a looker but the mechanical quality is also truly impressive. It feels exceptionally solid and the control rings feel silky smooth. The weather sealing as well as the supplied tripod mount are also a nice bonus.

He also added that interesting note:

The A7R creates rather massive shutter vibrations that are a game spoilers when using tele-lenses – even with activated OSS. However, the A7 and A7s should be able to exploit the really high potential of the Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS. Therefore highly recommended.

Sony A7s and RX100mIII European pricing to be unveiled the coming week.

Share

The only region on earth that still has no clue about the possible A7s and RX100M3 pricing is..Europe! I actually mean the European Union state members using the Euro as currency. But one of our German readers just got that note from Sony Germany saying the price for both cameras is likely going to be announced the coming week:

Leider liegen uns noch keine genauren Informationen bezüglich der Verfügbarkeit der Kameras vor. Wir gehen allerdings davon aus, dass diese  voraussichtlich ab nächster Woche vorbestellbar sein sollten.
Bei weiteren Fragen stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.
Mit freundlichen Grüssen,

Hope it took that long just because they wanted to lower the final price :)
