That is awesome. Sony Imaging Pro is arriving in Europe is definitely good news. Hopefully It’ll be followed by the Canadian, and American roll out soon. I hope my A850 qualifies.
Doubt it, Sony writes:
“To be eligible for the service, professional
photographers must own multiple Sony high-end α cameras such as α99, α7 series
and Sony G or Carl Zeiss lenses. The details about the application and service
will be announced closer to launch date.”
Disheartening but not surprising. CPN and NPS have similar policies with their gear requirements albeit you need to pay for the service on top of that.
What I find rather disappointing is that they wouldn’t want to treat professional photographers in a different way, such as an accreditation service (as you would need to do to submit to World Press Photo) in a way where any professional could own any Sony gear they need without really needing it to be top end but qualifies as a professional because he is vetted as one. That would have made a splash but I see why they want “minimum” gear stock.
Maybe we should all send a copy of our degree, and transcripts to qualify. I think you need to get a grip. Would that make you happy?
Sony set up is clearly better and covers all professional Sony users not just the a small minority. I especially like the gear requirement.
It nice to know all of us using Sony Lenses, AND bodies, are covered as opposed to mirror-less adapted lens crowd.
Sometimes you really do sound like your are paid to spread mis-information.
I wonder do the Carl Zeiss lenses includes Carl Zeiss AG lenses (Loxia, Touits, Otus, and etc) or only Sony Zeiss lenses.
It’s a Sony program. My money is on the logic that is only for Sony-Zeiss since Sony cannot service any Cosina Zeiss lens or cover any of their warranties.
“Such as” is another way of saying “an example is”. The A900, and A850 will definitely be covered. They are the most professional cameras Sony has designed, and built to date.
I bet the requirement will be for a minimum of three G-Series, and/or Zeiss lenses.
@Admin
Will we hear this week something about the early 2015 announcement?
Man on the phase one blog fails to point out that the “Pro” version of C1 for Sony is 23EUR+VAT for EU customers and 23EUR alone to anyone else in the work.
I am still on the trial run for C1 Pro and all I can say is that is faster that Lightroom 5/4. That enough has me considering to switch.
However, the local adjustment tool lacks some refinement compared the Lr, overall, and depending on your preferences with sharpening and noise reduction (whether you like a clean image or you like luma noise grain) both can look rather similar with Lr giving, at default, a more naturally pleasing representation on both. Tweaking settings, C1 can give you a mp or two extra of detail because it appears to read raw files rather well and thoroughly compared to Lr.
Just saw that video as well.
Mat thinks the “jello” effect he sees is because of the EVF. It is not an EVF issue. It is rolling shutter. The sensor is feeding that information to the EVF, which is only showing you whats happening.
Hardly a thorough review. Show me a camera (other than perhaps the A7s) where ISO 6400 – 256,000 isn’t grainy. Also prime lenses are going to produce much better results than any zoom lens. The test images he shot were compositionally dull and mostly poorly executed. A camera is only as good as the photographer……
That’s enough for me to buy three new Sony / Zeiss lenses for our three A99s. Great cameras, and it nice to know a full service plan will be available, so small business owners like myself, will soon have the support that has been absent.
We’ve held on to our A900s because of the length of time it takes to service the A99.
How long does it take for them to get back to you and what are the main issues.
We can talk endlessly what one or the other doesn’t like about this SONY A7r but all is coming down to image quality and this A7r cam is SuperMaster. I have this cam for quite a time and I simply LOVE IT !
Yes quality lenses are MUST therefore I use Leica and Zeiss exclusively.
This is absolute keeper even thou when new successor of A7r will come …
