Ivar: “I stumbled on a video of magnum photographer and legend Eli Reed on a promotional video for South Korea photographing with Sony A7 series camera’s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6-r9ZJzO4s. There are more Magnum legend promoting South Korea but he is the first I see with Sony. It’s great to learn from the pro’s. Have fun”
Samys: “Sony expands the ability to test drive and use their equipment at an upcoming shooting event at a local Malibu Vineyard with Samy’s Camera in Los Angeles on May 17th. A Sony Artisan will be in attendance to provide guidance and assistance to achieve the best image results. With the recent introduction of additional new full frame lenses the a7 series cameras will continue to gain momentum and be the choice over traditional DSLR’s. The web link to participate in this shooting event is below. http://samysphotoschool.com/courses/malibu-wines-landscape-photography-workshop/

Reall? You are making us buy expensive Carl Zeiss lenses and you giving us this cheap cellophane filter tutorial? Cmon Sony!
Hello Admin and followers;),
What’s the event for the mid-may Sony announcement? Is it done yet?
About the A7 line battery life: put your camera into “flight mode” and battery life will dramatically increase. The wifi and the nfc drains the battery a lot otherwise. On my A7 II 550 shots = 27% battery use. The real issue though is, that the batteries discharge very fast over time while not in use. 2 or 3 days means around 25% discharge with my batteries. (1 new 1 used). However. I find battery life when shooting with a freshly loaded battery rather good, considering IBIS. Flight mode does the trick.
I get typically something between 500-700 shots out of each battery on my A7R and A7S. And that’s casual single frame shooting over a day or two. More than adequate for this type of camera. I’ve seen a lot of complaints about battery life, and I have no clue what people getting less than 200 shots are doing.
one time i took my a57 to a 3-hour shooting with less than half battery, i get around 1500 shots and still the battery had power when the shooting was over
so who knows how batteries are messaured, anyway
Jesus, I thought this was satire. This was uploaded by Sony? These terrible “filters” are the type of crap you teach middle school kids as a fun side exercise in their summer photography seminar.
good morning guys 🙂
most of that video tricks are better and easier/cheaper made with software
too old school
its like giving tips to how make better mix tapes lol
Eli Reed is Sony’d out.
He also has an RX1, see 3:00
The production of that video, though, full on 80s.
I don’t get my soundimageplus is offended by AVCHD. Some people don’t need XAVC-S or be able to even tell the difference, so there is a choice for a codec that is more compressed for them to be able to record some more video. It is like saying: “I don’t get why we still have JPEG small…with Retina screens today and the ability to get Capture One for free for Sony users, why not shoot RAW anyways?”
“Retina”
I spit at your feet, you filthy casual.
What are you talking about?
There is a video about DIY filters… nothing about anouncements or battery life or video-codecs.
BTW: Am I the only one, who finds all these filterer pictures kind of awful – except the bokeh filter?
the filters do suck pretty bad
Someone should do these filters on the Otus 85mm.
This is true- but maybe not as fun.
Steve Huff just did a post on a guy who did a wedding with a CCTV lens. Even adults like to play every once in awhile.
I’d like 3 minutes of my life back.
This is. technique of old photography masters which closely associate with imagination, something which is missing in arsenal of nowadays photographers …
