Today, Sony is issuing a firmware update for the Sony a1 and Sony a7s III cameras. Granted, they're pretty important firmware updates. But since we test a whole lot of cameras, we're starting to scratch our heads a bit at what's happening here.
And despite Sony's autofocus being incredibly good, it's starting to show its age. However, it's still fantastic; but time doesn't seem to have been incredibly kind to Sony comparatively. . thephoblographer.com
A lot of things are set to happen in 2020. It's a presidential election year here in the US (actually it's a presidential election year in lots of countries), Japan is hoping to establish a moon base*, and the UK will definitely, very likely, maybe have left the EU by he time Jan 1 rolls around. dpreview.com »

Introduction Despite the improvements made in smartphones, 1" sensor compacts remain one of the best ways of getting great images and some decent zoom reach in a pocketable form. Both Canon and Sony have just updated their pocket-sized models, using the latest Stacked CMOS technology: Canon with the Powershot G5 X II and Powershot G7 X III, and Sony with the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII. dpreview.com »

I completely understand Sony's take on the fact that f1. 0 lenses won't sell as well as an f1. 2 lens for the Sony FE mount, but I think that this could help push not only Sony but other dedicated camera manufacturers to do something much bigger and better for the industry. thephoblographer.com »

Intro Sony's RX100 may have ushered in the era of the 1" sensor compact, but it took Panasonic to combine these larger sensors with the long-lens flexibility that defines a travel zoom. This shouldn't be a surprise, since Panasonic spearheaded that type of camera back in the days when small sensors ruled the Earth. dpreview.com »

If you were to take the Sony 24-105mm f4 G OSS and compare it to the company's G Master lenses, then I'd feel like you're doing it an injustice in some ways. Nevertheless, this is a lens that will be compared to them simply because of the fact that every other manufacturer has an offering that rates it amongst their best lenses. thephoblographer.com »

Photozone tested the Sony FE 28-70mm lens and writes: It may be a good lens on a Sony A7S (II) but the 42mp sensor of the Sony A7R II is clearly out of its league. The center quality is up to the task but the quality at the outer image regions leaves something to be […] The post Sony FE 28-70mm tested at Photozone. sonyalpharumors.com »

Just a few days ago I wrote about how the next generation flagship models from Olympus and Panasonic are rumoured to be released quite ambitiously at around US$2,000 – significantly higher than previous releases from both companies have ever been priced. digitalrev.com »

Sony was the first company to pivot to full-frame mirrorless cameras in 2013 with alpha 7 and alpha 7R. It is amazing to see how they challenged the DSLR, which was already in full swing. Perhaps they saw the trend change before anyone (Panasonic technically became the first to use mirrorless but in the Micro Four Thirds segment), which is paying them so well.
If you're excited about the new Sony 24-70mm f2. 8 GM II, then gear up! It will work best on these cameras. We asked Sony during our briefing about this. During our review, we also tested it on the older Sony a7r III.
There are cameras with great high ISO output that lots of photographers enjoy for various reasons. Everything from sports, night photography, portraiture, and astrophotography requires cameras with great low light abilities.
CFExpress Type A is pretty new when it comes to standards. At the moment, not many cameras use them. Many are still sticking to SD--but some accommodate CFExpress. Type A though, is pretty new, and they have a great advantage.
First off, you should know that we've done the print tests. That's right, we test cameras in a much different way when it comes to high ISO output. Looking at ISO 6400 on 5K Retina screen is much different than printing it.
We recently finished reviewing the new Sony a7s III camera. Overall, we felt it's great. But there are ways that it could have been made better. The new camera retains a 12MP full frame sensor but has a brand new processor.
