Nikon Pakistan listed the void Z 8 product page . As this camera is going to compete with the Sony A7rV I was interested to see the specs. But to my uprise all they did display for a short period of time is a well known FAKE image :)
Former Sony digital camera developer Mr. Shigeki Ishizuka shares the secrets of Sony’s success!
Nikkei interviewed Shigeki Ishizuka. Here are a couple of interesting points:
- Hew knew that smartphones would eat into the digital camera market shares (starting in 2012). That’s why he thought Sony had to go with a new E-mount system. As you can’t change lenses on your smartphone, you can differentiate yourself with that.
- When we saw how successful the RX1 became in November 2012 we knew that we now have to go Full Frame E-mount
- In 2
A talk with Jay Sato from Sony
Jay gives LOTS of detail about recent FX3 firmware upgrades, why shuttle angle and open gate still aren’t there, why Sony Alpha and Cinema cameras are still different. All of the questions that sony users have are asked here! The answers are as open as they can make them – but it’s clear that Sony is listening. And it is NOT clear that the FX3 firmware upgrades will ever make it back to the A7S3… :-(

Finally: The new Sony 50mm f/1.4 GM is in Stock and shipping for the first time in the USA
For the first time the Sony 50mm F/1.4 GM lens is in Stock and shipping out at BHphoto . Amazon . Adorama !

First image of the new Viltrox AF 16mm f/1.8 Full-frame Lens for Sony
This is the first image of the new lens shared by Pergear . Full lens specs and pricing will be announced in May. There is also a new image of the 27mm f/1.2 XF lens for Fuji. This lens is likely to be announced sometimes in late 2023 as E-mount version too.
Quick thoughts on why Sony has to “copy” the Canon 100-300mm f/2.8 lens and my “secret hope” that Sigma will make a 120-300mm lens for a third of the price!
We all know Sony will launch a 300mm f/2.8 GM prime lens by end of 2023 ( the lens list listed here at BH ). But in my latest video I bring you my case why this new Canon 100-300mm f/2.8 lens makes much more sense than owning a 300mm prime. Yes, the Sony will cost $2-3000 less than the Canon, but the 100
Competition news: Canon RF 100-300mm f/2.8 announced
Canon announced the impressive 100-300mm f/2.8 . it also carries an impressive price :)
With a 2x converter this becomes a 200-600mm f/5.6 lens. What do you think…should Sony make such a lens too?
