You dropped the “price announcement of the A7s”!! When will we come to know if Sony will “announce” the price? 😉
I am sure they will announce it within May (that’s what they told me). But I still didn’t get final price info therefore I will wait to put it on SR5 yet 🙂
шур-шур. колко да си шур бе баце?
The price of the A7s will be announced after you buy it.
Sounds good! I can write my own price then! 🙂
Mistake on the New York time. Should be 12AM, May 16.
“” XAVC S: 120p 50M(1,280×720/120p) “” interesting….

Just a correction to your time conversion
New York should be 12AM on May 16
Early to bed, Andrea ! 😉
I got my hands on the A7s for half an hour at the start of the month and while I wasn’t allowed to put my own card in it the high ISO was every bit as good as I’ve been led to believe here. Can’t wait.
I’ve tried it too and the af was fast and the iso was godly
I saw noise everywhere at 400’000!!!1!
Well, that’s the MAX ISO. What camera doesn’t have noise at their max setting? I bet the A7s looks pretty good at 50.000 at which most other would be noise fest.

Can someone please tell me the fastest way to export multiple 36MB files from lighroom? Is there any tweak that I need to do to my system in order to make it faster? Should I buy additional SSD for RAID setup? Should I increase my memory bandwidth more? Is there an option in LR to make tings faster? please help me
If your hard disk is full try to export unnecessary files to external hard drive, for LR and PS to work fast you need a fast processor and a fast hard drive like seagate SSHD , if you have a laptop your options are limited because you can’t upgrade your processor.. All you can do is to change the hard drive with a high capacity SSD and if you are using a desktop use seagate SSHD and upgrade the motherboard for a faster processing.
You can run a library optimization, although for exporting I don’t think it will make it faster. Exporting is processor and hard disk intensive. If you have a quad core (or more) machine, you can try exporting half the files and then immediately export the other half to force lightroom into using more cores. If it does not speed it up then it may be due to either your hard drive speed or your hard drive connection (USB2 is slower than firewire800 or usb 3, etc.).
i hope they do with the RX2 (or RX1 II) !
the pop up flash in the RX1 did next to nothing and stayed down 100% of the time anyway
where is the shoe mount? I use my RX100II for video and I need to mount an LED light on top of it. I was so excited to hear that RX100III will have brighter lens but then it doesn’t come with a shoe mount to put an LED light.
Seriously Sony why do u have to screw things up once again? You already screwed us with a6000 without having native mic input and it could have been that perfect video camera for us. And now u did it again! grr I hate it but I still love u
bravo sony for having introduced the innovative pop-up evf! 😀
hope other manufacturers follow suit!
hope it had a hotshoe as well for small speedlights 🙂
hope the next iteration of the RX1/R will have the pop-up evf as well!
hope this trickles down to other compacts soon enough.
They really need to put more words on the camera, like “FINDER”, “MENU”, and “MOVIE”, and “ON/OFF”. I think the font should be much larger too. Otherwise people won’t be able to figure out this ultra high tech.
The “W” should be spelled out as “WIDE ANGLE” the “T” should be replaced by “TELEPHOTO”. Otherwise people might think they mean “WIMPY” and “TOUGH”.
The little clock timer icon should be replaced by “SELF TIMER MODE CONTROL” or it may cause great confusion leading people to think that’s a stopwatch. The “+/-” needs to be more clearly stated as “EXPOSURE COMPENSATION CHANGER DIAL”, so people really know what it means. We don’t want the Pinterest crowd thinking it’s a “LIKE” or “DISLIKE” button.
Really Sony… what’s a “DISP”? And why is it next to the Fun button? But I kind of get the little camera with the “star” icon. Surely that’s “NIGHT TIME FAIRY DUST MODE”… not easy to fit all that without infringing upon the dedicated “C” comedy button.
What does it matter anyway… All the dang buttons can be repurposed for most other functions. We need a set of stickers to overlay our customized menu preferences.
Come on Sony… “GTFWI”
There is a red dot on the movie button. But I don’t think I’d remember it’s a movie button unless it said “MOVIE” above it. Sony has very thoughtful and elegant designers. Not like those terrible Leica S2 minimalists.
This RX menu layout is awful for someone coming from A-mount and NEX bodies. I was never one to complain about the NEX menus. From the 5 to 5N, and then the 5R, it seemed like they perfected it with the Fn button by the shutter and allowing the 6 customizable settings in the rolling menu. Having just tried the RX10, how are you supposed to set custom WB on the fly? Why did they get rid of the settings to change from single shot, multi shot, timer settings, and remote out of the rear directional wheel? It is like learning a new system over again. I’m sure the RX100 III will follow the same steps. Thanks for listening to the complaints Sony. Now bring back the NEX name, and provide an A with touchscreen. Also, please develop a relatively inexpensive external GPS device that we can attach to the multi interface hot shoe. That way, we RX, NEX/E-mount, and A77II folks can choose if we’d like to geotag our photos. Otherwise, develop a way to tap into a mobile phone’s GPS to geotag photos.
Oh crap! I spoke too early…lol. The RX10 is awesome! This new RX will certainly be an awesome camera.
I think Bluto (Animal House) would have said “Ho-ly Shhhitt!” to this camera.
Gozilla, a powerful monster from Japan will be released to movie theaters tomorrow, so is the powerful RX100M3. Coincidence?!?!…….. I think not.
Can any one find out from Sony why they are not including GPS in many of there new devices.. I know the NEX and RX ranges never managed to get GPS but I though it would have been next in line yet Sony have started removing it from the Axx range (eg, A77II)… why why why? No one at Sony Australia can give me an answer and a few of the sales guys said they also don’t get it as it’s been a popular selling feature and many customers like the in build GPS…
Maybe they don’t want the NSA to be tracking you via your camera, or worst, remotely controlling your camera to image everything around you (this is a joke, if you want to take it that way).
