Poll: On sensor IBIS is possible on Sony E-mount cameras. Do you want it?

Share

You may remember that a couple of months ago Sony Europe made a mess and said E-mount cameras have an on sensor stabilization (See Image on top). Well, the image is now gone but I got an interesting note form a highly trusted source: He told me that on sensor stabilization is technically possible on E-mount cameras! But the reason why Sony didn’t add this feature yet is simple: Sony isn’t yet sure if such a feature is a key factor for mirrorless camera buyers.

I figured a little POLL on SAR may help them to decide :) Imagine Sony using Olympus E-M1 stabilization system (likely the worlds best stabilization for photocameras yet).

Would you buy this new Sigma 300mm f/2.8 lens?

Gavin: “Thought you might like to share this timelapse movie that was shot entirely with the Sony A7R https://vimeo.com/97785257”

Baron: “During our family vacation, I got to test the Sony FDR-AX100. As a tourist I needed a small and lightweight video camera. As a videographer I wanted to shoot in a higher resolution than HD. My subjects were shy and fast. The Malaysian weather was unpredictable. To add to that challenge, I brought along my hyperactive 3 year old daughter. I’m happy to say that the Sony AX100 met all my needs. Editing the 4K footage in Final Cut Pro X on an iMac was very smooth. Vacationeers and travellers would enjoy using the Sony AX100. Here’s the video. Be sure to watch it in 4K http://youtu.be/YOgwCtgO1Vs”

Heather & Mat: “Here is a recent article we wrote about using the Sony A7 (yes, that’s right, the A7 not the A7s!) for low-light video shooting. The video is of a contemporary dance performance that took place 30 metres underground in the ancient Bourbon Tunnel in Napoli (Naples).

Share

The RX100 camera series is a unique and very successful camera line. But Sony shared the RX100M3 sensor to Panasonic (for the FZ-1000). And according to two mroe anonymous sources they are also likely going to share it to Fuji and Samsung as well!

New A7s reviews. Behiri: “say goodbye to the Mark III”.

Share

Sleep, eat, taste wine and relax! – Shot on a Sony A7s from Johnnie Behiri on Vimeo.

BBC cameraman Johnni Behiri posted his A7s review at Cinema5D (video on top). He writes:

The direct competitor to this camera is naturally the Canon 5D Mark III. Personally, I think it is time to move on and say goodbye to the Mark III. You now have an amazingly sharp looking video camera that records in a new robust codec (XAVC S), very small with a build in great OLED EVF and last but not least, also a lowlight king. I also have to had that the audio recorded directly to the A7s is much better then the one recorded on the Mark III because of better internal preamps. All in all, if you are looking for a working tool that is small enough to look “un-professional” yet one that records great looking video footage at a price which is not modest but affordable, look no further. The Sony A7s is your best friend.

Steve Huff also posted his full A7s review and writes:

For me, this is the camera to beat for 2014. So far, my pick for camera of the year. For me, if I add in the Voigtlander 15, Voigtlander 35 1.2 and the Sony 55 1.8 and I have a camera and lens combo that can do just about anything I ask of it, for my needs.
