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

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 (

Jeven Dovey: The Sony A9III is a CINEMA CAMERA!

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!

Enjoy the beautiful images that are beautiful enough to silently troll the trolls :)

Curiosity: Back in 2018 Alin Popescu already found first hints of global shutter info inside the Sony A9

From Alin Popescu’s website :

A7s III was not yet released back then, and I assumed it will be a camera with global shutter. What did I know that we have to wait 5 more years to see it
