Competition: Canon EOS R1 rumors downgraded from being “stunning” to “average”

Share

It’s now a year we keep reading stunning rumors about the Canon R1 having global shutter, crazy high Megapixel sensors and other stunning features. A potential Sony A1 killer!

Well now according to latest rumors the camera will:

  • NOT have global shutter
  • NOT have 8K
  • Have a resolution below 45MP

This is not a “Schadensfreude” post. I would have loved the R1 to be competitive against the Sony A1 and future Sony A1II. And I know rumors can be wrong (like it happens to me rarely). But I found it rather bizarre how dramatic those rumored specs changed. But if the R1 will be an “average” good camera the real danger for Sony will remain the extremely good Nikon Z8/Z9 cameras…or the Panasonic S High Resolution camera that I KNOW is coming this year ;)

Jeven Dovey: The Sony A9III is a CINEMA CAMERA!

Share

I think most of the people still underestimate the power of the Sony A9III when it comes to video. So I am happy to see that Jeven Dovey posted this video today where he clearly made this point. What he did not mention is that you don’t have any issues anymore with many classic video artifacts like banding, flickering, hello effect….all gone for the first time on a hybrid mirrorless camera!

Preorders (shipment start Feb 21):
Sony A9III at BHphoto. Amazon. Adorama. FotoErhardt. Fotokoch. Calumet. WexUK.
Sony 300mm at BHphoto. Amazon. Adorama. FotoErhardt. Fotokoch. Calumet. WexUK.

New firmware updates for the Sony HVL-F60RM2 and HVL-F46RM adds full Sony A9III support

Share

New firmware update for two Sony flashes:

Sony HVL F60RM2 (firmware here) Benefits and Improvements:

  • Adds support for Global Shutter Sync photography in all shutter areas: By using an HVL-F60RM2 flash with a camera equipped with a global shutter image sensor, flash photography can be synchronized with the entire range of shutter speeds available on the camera and enable more effective flash exposures than conventional High-Speed Sync photography (HSS).
  • Adds Flash charge Priority setting: When CHG PRIORITY is set to STABLE on the MENU screen, although the charging time is longer compared to when it is set to NORMAL, it allows for more stable firing.

Sony HVL FF46RM (firmware here) Benefits and Improvements:

  • Adds support for Global Shutter Sync photography in all shutter areas: By using an HVL-F46RM flash with a camera equipped with a global shutter image sensor, flash photography can be synchronized with the entire range of shutter speeds available on the camera and enable more effective flash exposures than conventional High-Speed Sync photography (HSS).
  • Adds Flash charge Priority setting: When CHG PRIORITY is set to STABLE on the MENU screen, although the charging time is longer compared to when it is set to NORMAL, it allows for more stable firing.
