As a mountain hiker I need sometimes to carry an extra battery with me that can charge my gear. The new VB-99 is light and fast, ideal if you need to charge your camera, dron or laptop all at once!

There is currently a discount of 20% on the VB99 PRO sold on Amazon US&EU, BHphoto,  SmallRig.

Those are the CRAZY cameras that I hope Sony will make!

What camera would you love Sony to make?

• Bigger body E-mount camera

Adobe Camera RAW now supports α9 III and Northrup tested the A9III Image Quality

Adobe added preliminary support for the new Sony A9III. Northrup quickly analyzed the Sony A9III RAW to check out how the Image Quality is:

Before you draw a a final conclusion a couple of remarks:

1.  Northrup used a pre-production camera with non finalized software
2. Adobe supports is “preliminary” and not final
3. Comparing 50MP A1 with 24MP A9III is not exactly super fair. We should compare it with a 24MP camera from any other brand.

My short take on this:
Even if it doesn’t match the A1 Image Quality, the quality is high enough for the benefits it brings fro sports photographers: 120p, no rolling shutter, no banding, and so forth…

No folks, this isn’t fake and it’s close to your long time dreamed new 24-1,000 f/0.95 Full Frame lens (here on Amazon).

Tamron Japan constructed this giant 35-150mm FE mockup lens for a new advertisement campaign that still have to be disclosed. Maybe we are going to see this at the CP+ show in February?

If you have any info about WHERE this lens will be displayed let me know at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Thanks!
