Richard: “I wondered if your readers would be interested in what I have put together for product photography..http://www.flickr.com/photos/melting_bloke/sets/72157641407451984/“. The system is a rollei x-act2 technical camera with very large tilt/shift capability. Originally designed around medium format, the use of the sony A7R instead of 6×4.5 film or medium format digital backs delivers very high res product photography with the capability to get very large tilt/swing and shift movements due to the sensor being a 1.5x crop of medium format. The system uses medium format lenses from Schneider, which in my opinion are the next step up from Zeiss in terms of medium format glass and deliver enough resolution to cater for the badboy A7R sensor.
I use the A7R for photographing and testing Dog Schidt Optiks lenses since the 36mpx sensor is about the most demanding full frame sensor there is.
Here is a shot of a DSO lens taken using the system:- http://www.flickr.com/photos/melting_bloke/12450571104/in/set-72157641404155735”
Anonymous: “Lauren Fiasconaro ( http://laurenfiasconaro.com/ ) a fine art photography student at Pratt University in New York City has just completed her thesis series ‘Terra Mortalis’. This project explores the fragile threads of life which our earth has and the effects that mankind has done to directly affect its mortality. The digital photography in Lauren’s project were all captured using Sony gear ( Sony A580, Sony NEX7, and Sony A7R). Lauren will be graduating this May with a BFA in Photography and a double minor in Art History and Sustainability.”
Edward: “Last week I converted a Sony A7 into Full-Spectrum. So far I’ve concentrated on the infra-red abilities, but I hope to do more soon. With it’s EVF and great lens compatability the A7 makes a great camera to convert, so I thought some of your readers might appreciate my first impressions review here: http://infraedd.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/cameras-sony-a7-converted-to-full.html“

1st blood! boring news :p
Australian Sony Easter specials are a joke! Link to the specials page is broken (Sony site has several broken links, but that’s Australian standard it seems), if you finally arrive at the specials ,they do not appear to be that great or special at all…
I desperately need a cheaper alternative to that Rollei.
Still need the price on the Sony A7S which Sony is withholding :c
They can take all the time they want as long as it is 1200 Euros when available through Sony store. 🙂
I don’t think so. that A7s ISO just kick D4 ($6000) away and it comes with 4K video. Sony need to price it correctly so that the ‘price’ could attract canikon users.
So, Sony users are left to look for used D4 and D4s’ and change the system to Nikon?
If you can take the time, it will be 1200 euros in a year… used… from Japan 🙂
I think the brand new prices from Thailand will be like that on debut (going by the A7/7r prices). My attention span is even shorter than the rumor news. 🙁
They will probably anounce the price and a battery grip/4k recirder at the same time.
Ive been thinking of leaving a HX400 in my car to be ready to grab shots of any animals I see when I drive…I cant carry a big camera set up with me when I work and I thought it would be just the right size.
Intersted in any thoughts on this?
Also..does anyone know if this camera has a 55mm filter thread? The HX300 with the same lens did but the specs on this one seem to indicate there is none.
Does anyone know for sure?
Hm. You can set the HX400 to trigger on front bumper contact.
He said that because the sensor has 20mp it will negatively effect low light performance. Not true because the camera uses pixel binning to reduce the resolution to 4K so it would have the same noise characteristics as if the sensor was a straight 4K sensor.
He says the lens is a 2.8-4 but the lens itself doesn’t have the markings of the 2.8-4 and on Sony’s US site they say its a 2.8-4.5…
I saw the F2.8-4.5 indication on Sony’s site, but the camera will let me dial in F4 at full telephoto. Maybe the 4.5 indicated the T-Stop at that focal length?
Tumbs up for “Pantip” who dares to stick his new A6000 into a platsbag and get right into that water inferno!
