One more leaked image of the new Sony ZV-E1: No EVF and similar ZV-E10 layout

Share

I got one more image of the new Sony ZV-E1 that will be announced on March 29. It has no EVF (as suspected) and also similar ZV-E10 layout:

Summary of the Sony ZV-E1 specs:

  • New ZV-E1 E-mount camera is based on the Sony As7III
  • Same A7sIII 12 Megapixel sensor
  • 4k60 & 4k 120 (no crop). But it appears 120p might be coming later via firmware update
  • no pixel binning
  • 409k ISO
  • AF from a7r V but it has even better detection
  • Body overheats a lot at the moment
  • Lots of new AI features, very innovative
  • Similar body style of the ZV-E10, but in the size of the Sony A7c and with some FX3 elements
  • Price slightly below $2,500
  • Announcement on March 29, 3pm London time

There will be plenty of rumors and also possibly image leaks. So be sure to follow my new Youtube channel, Discord channel, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to not miss news and rumors.

AI imaging will change the way we work. My first attempts to merge it with real photos made with the Sony A7rV

Share

I damn hate this AI tools. I hate it because it forces me to change view on how images are created, I hate it because it’s another step into a world were digital “fakes” will dominate authenticity. But I know there is nothing I can do to stop this.
Looking back, I hated the switch to digital photography, I hated to know that good Photoshoppers became more important than good Photographers, I hated the narcissism and lies of influencer photography.

The only good thing about AI photography is that it actually is the culmination of a decade long trend away from classic photography towards a completely “Imagined” one. The “Lie” finally becomes clear and obvious!
And don’t get me wrong, there can be good ART in this, but it’s not photography as we know it.

After playing for two months I feel like I learned the following:

  • Most “mass” photography will be replaced by AI imaging (Stock photography, social-viral shit, magazine and website photos and so forth)
  • Real photos will soon be edited through AI tools instead (or in combination) with classic Photoshop workflow tools
  • Authenticity might soon become even more valuable than before. Having a real hard proof of a photo (for example as a chemical film or polaroid) may be more appreciated than before.

So the upcoming months I will try to dig into those AI tools to learn how I can edit my Sony A7RV photos to create some different kind of imaginary. I will also shoot more with my Mamiya 7 as a silent sign of interior rebellion :)

I will show you my findings on my Youtube channel. So please subscribe if you are interested into wondering this deep Rabbit Hole!
