Johnnie Behiri is a freelance cameraman and editor working mostly for the BBC, National Geographic, Discovery Channel. He tested the Sony HX9v for Cinema5d (Click here). You may ask why the hell he tested a compact camera for video? Click the play button and you will see it. It may not be casual that this is the best sold Sony camera on Amazon US (Click here to see the ranking).
And those are the HX9v price check links at [shopcountry 7597].
On top you can see the very first (real!) design of the new LA-EA2 adapter with built-in translucent mirror! As you see the adapter is quite BIG. It allows the use of the phase detecion autofocus with 15 AF points! As I already told you weeks ago the adapter will cost around $400. My guess is that the adapter is partiularly welcome by filmmakers that want to use the Alpha mount lenses on the [shoplink 6170]NEX-FS100[/shoplink] and other future E-mount camcorders.
The current LA-EA1 adapter is much cheaper (around $150) but autofocus is slow. Check the price and specs of the LA-EA1 at [shopcountry 8114].

While we are all waiting for Sony and Zeiss to release new high quality lenses Samyang is not resting at all. After releasing that 35mm f/1.4 super quality and super cheap manual lens they now announced first on facebook than on their website that their next lens will be the 24mm f/1.4 fast wide angle! It will have 13 elements (in 12 groups) including four ED elements and two aspheric lenses. The Samyang 24mm should be in Stock by end of this year with Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Samsung NX, Sony Alpha and Four Thirds mounts.
Those are the two current Rokinon/Samyang lenses I recommend to you:
1) The 35mm f/1.4: In US you can find it as Rokinon at Amazon (Click here), Adorama (Click here), BHphoto (Click here) and on [shoplink 7453 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. In Europe the name is Samyang and you can find it on [shoplink 7380 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] and with the name Wallimex again on [shoplink 7831 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
2) The 85mm f/1.4: You can get for $274 on Amazon (Click here), branded with the name Rokinon on [shoplink 7456 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] and branded with the name Samyang on [shoplink 7454 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
Noooo! Incredible! Here it is the very first A77 commercial! That looks sexy! The lens on the video should be the [shoplink 8105 ebay]Zeiss 135mm (Click here to see that lens)[/shoplink]. But that lens isn’t dust proof :(
Before it gets removed download it and upload it to your own youtube channel. That will allow us to have enough backups :)

The video on top has been made by WeAreHQ TV: “Livin Proof is London’s best Hip Hop night. Check out the antics of this months event. Filmed on the new Sony FS100 with a Sony 50mm f1.4 and Minolta 16mm Fisheye. ALL 30db GAIN. The club was so dark I needed the camera to see where my friends were. Awesome camera.”
You can check the price of the camera at Digitalrev, B&H, Amazon.fr, Amazon.de and Amazon.uk.
ThePhoBlographer (Click here) posted a new NEX-C3 review: “The autofocus is quick, silent and accurate but isn’t very smart based on the composition. The ergonomics are quite good and the camera feels nice in the hand. However, I wish it felt a bit tougher and more manly. In the end though, I can only mostly say good things about the Sony NEX C3 and recommend it to those that want to start out or perhaps shoot in Aperture mode all day (and night).”
NEX-C3 in status check links at [shopcountry 7207].
New leather case for the NEX-C3 (DC.watch).
SonyAlphaLab posted NEX-C3 video smaples and full resolution photos.
