Sony a9 III Sensor Testing by Gerald Undone: Best body Sony ever made, and you can increase the dynamic range!

Gerald Undone did a Sony A9III image test and actually discovered a way to gain Dynamic Range:

It appears the Sony A9III has a different more “RAW” noise level (in video) than other Sony cameras like the Sony A7IV . If you work it out the in post production you gain up to 1 stop of Dynamic Range which puts it on par with the A7IV. So it seem that after all the A9III Image Quality is damn close to all other Sony cameras

Photographer asks you how the heck he can remove the spider that lives inside his Sony camera EVF :)

Ties Blaaus ( @bluehill_stories ) is one of our Dutch readers. He contacted me and asked me for following help:

anyone knows how to get the spider out of the viewfinder? Tried to open up the front part, but it appears to be connected to the whole body… Probably the spider got there during a lens swap or something? Would be awesome to get some help here because we’re on a thruhike in New Zealand right now thanks!

That’s the camera affected by the spider:

Curiosity: On January 24 Hasselblad will announce a digital back using the Sony 100MP medium format sensor

On January 24 Hasselblad will announce the new 907X 100 Megapixel X-mount back. It’s the same 100MP Sony sensor of the Hasselblad X2D . I have no info about the price but it will definitely be more expensive than their current 907x 50MP .

I am still waiting the day Sony will make a medium format camera too!
