RX10 II review on spanish magazine FOTO DNG.
Vit: “This is the part 3 of the Sony a7rII review. The first two test were mainly about the camera quality and lowlight performance. And this part 3 is just random video in Melbourne City. I shot the video in Super 35mm mode 4K XAVC-S format with S-Log 2 picture profile, used EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens with Metabones T SpeedBooster Ultra. And graded in FilmConvert Pro 2.1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhrUx5Z7roM”
Jonas: “I bought an a7Rii last week and i tried the 100fps 720p xavc-s recording for some random garden trampoline shots on slog2.
I’ve never done any color grading before so bear with me for lack of post production skills.
Just wanted to share one of the best and happiest experiences of my everyday life and display for everyone how nice footage you can collect with your sony camera.
Lens is the batis 25/2 lens 😉

The fstoppers article is a bit of an embarrassment …
Does the author not now that the DxO score takes transmission into account and thus f/2.8 lenses always score lower?
Not sure about everyone else but I paid $550 for my 35/2.8. Compared to the m43 lenses I was buying at the time that seemed fair.
It is pretty close to a perfect lens. Sharpness leaves nothing to be desired at all apertures, low distortion, great bokeh, great colors. And tiny! I could live without my sigma 35/1.4, in fact I sold it already, but you can pry my 35/2.8 from my cold, dead hands. That lens is a gem.
Five settings will be in a different location on every Sony camera you own from a900 to a99 to a77II to a7 to a7R to a7II to a7RII to RX10II… Not ONE of them has the same menu. It’s a freaking joke… an Illuminati Plot… a freakin’ Free Mason Conspiracy… Aliens testing our intelligence… Or government testing just how far humans can be pushed before rebellion.
Awful menu consistency within the same brand Sony. Just terrible. Might as well have six different brand cameras as six different Sony cameras.
‘The 5 settings you should know’? If ever there was a pointless video this is it!
I think a static shot of ‘READ THE F***ING MANUAL’ would be more appropriate (and even that is fairly meaningless is you don’t understand the basics of photography!).
Sometimes Sony drives me nuts. They make the best tool for the job, and have no idea how it works.
..the last link with the 100fps 720p footage doesn’t work unfortunately.
yeah, i posted the wrong link a while back, i hope the link above will replace the one in the post soon 😉
sorry andrea, i posted the wrong link for the garden trampoline shot!
this is the proper link:

sorry for the unconvenience =)
Lieca has built a truly proffesional grade mirrorless Camera body.
Sony E mount is severly critisized by pros for not being a proffesional grade body.
Sony needs to take a look ad this new Lieca as an indication of what can be done and build a pro level body…!!!!
If Sony wants the pro level buseness that Canon dominates they need a consumer level body line…which they currently have
AND a pro level body.
Sony…if you are not paying attention to what Lieca has just done, I am sure Canon and Nikon are.
The Canon sites are directly comparing it to thier 5dsr.
Add a pro body to your line…you now have an example …a place to start.
Lol, no one’s going to buy the ridiculously priced Leica when they can have the Sony that is significantly more useful at what REALLY MATTERS. Taking pictures.
This “professional grade” arrogance is just silly. The a7 series cameras are tanks, that get the job done.
I have 5 Sony’s, each with more than ONE MILLION exposures on them, and three of those are sub-$1000 bodies. Try that with your “professional grade” Canon, lol.
My a33 (Sony’s lowest level body) finally stuck-shutter at 1.91 million exposures…it shot in rain, snow, was completely submerged more than once. Good luck getting your “pro grade” stuff to do more than a Sony.
You totally miss the point
I don’t care if anyone actually buys the Lieca.
Many people complain about poor battery life, no dual card slot, small hard to use controls, body too small to handle.
Lieca has addressed all these issues and more.
Sony can and should build a pro level body .
Not a replacement for the A7 line of bodies…so if you like your current body good for you….
But pros that are used to and like dslr want a more professional style body
I am not talking a totally differrent camera line but a second pro body style in addition to the a7 style body.
There is absolutely no way Sony will dominate Canons market without offering this.
I am also not talking Lieca prices.
Lica has built a mirrorless body that pros are all speaking very highly of…Sony can do it for less.
Lastly …even if yoi are correct and Sony bodies are built like tanks…there is a big market segment that wants a more pofessional look and feel.
Give then what they eant and they will buy your product.
You can be certain Canon and Nikon will build a pro feel body.
And you as well as the general consumer will still have your consumer style body to buy.
Some people drive sport cars, spme people drive luxury cars, some economy cars, some family cars, and some trucks….
They all do the same thing.
The A99II will be Sony’s response and will be best in class. BTW this is off topic.
There will not be an A99ii
And this is Sony Tid Bits….speficically for all topics….so this is most definitely not off topic.
Off Off Off Topic.
SONY TID BITS…!!!!!!
This is not off topic….!!!!!!
I think it’s the US Government trying to fool you. Check Wikileaks…
