If full frame camera prices come down (to an "affordable" level) you might ask "Do we even NEED Micro Four Thirds any more?" In this episode I'll cover the reasons I think it's good to keep BOTH systems (if you have full frame already, the cost of adding Micro Four Thirds isn't a barrier, and if you have Micro Four Thirds, full frame is getting close!) P.S. I mentioned current pricing of the Sony A7rii, but said A7ii…but I DO NOT RECOMMEND the A7ii for video purposes (but the A7rii might be a possibility, as long as you're good with shooting in the cropped Super 35 mode, because the 4K is good in that mode, but not in full frame mode). Also, after some testing, I no longer recommend DSLRs (such as the Canon 6d which I mentioned) because they don't work well LIVE with HDMI switchers, such as the ATEM Mini, etc.

Sony's a7R II, initially released fall 2015, marks the official successor to the acclaimed A7R. In many ways, it represents the culmination of all the best features, improvements, and technology of all previous a7 cameras. https://photographypx.com/sony-a7r-ii-review/ Video https://youtu.be/p9z5yTXGKus
Today Sony has announced the new Sony A7r III mirrorless camera - the latest in its A7 lineup. The A7rIII looks extremely promising. They seemed to have cleaned up a lot of the little frustrations with the A7rII, increased the performance and added some nice new features for both still and video shooting in 4k. The camera will be available at the end of November. Sony also introduced 2 lenses - the 24-105 f/4.0 OSS FE and a telephoto prime - a 400mm f/2.8 to be released in the summer of 2018. Also announced as I was about to film this video - DxO has purchased Nik Software from Google. This is incredible news as Nik is one of the best post production packages I've used. Google have announced they're abandoning development on Nik so its nice to see someone committed to keeping it up to date.
In this video, Chelsea & Tony dig into the history of Sony cameras--starting with Minolta, founded in 1928. You'll learn how Sony was born from the rubble of post-WWII Tokyo and became the biggest name in consumer electronics. We'll cover the most important cameras from both Minolta and Sony, including the Mavica, E-Mount, A-mount, a7, a7S, a7R II, and a99. Finally, we'll speculate wildly about the future of Sony Alpha, including whether they'll continue to provide sensors to competitors such as Nikon.

SD card failure update. (Re) Examining a few assumptions in my workflow that I haven't looked at in years. Raw converters, Lightroom/Capture One, Photoshop, autofocus modes. Talking about adopting (other) new technologies. As a small extension to our previous conversation(s) Art and Process talking about mental perspectives change day-to-day and how to ensure that it doesn't ruin your mojo.
In the context of shooting a couple tests in one day, I put the new Sony A7RII through the gauntlet and give you guys some very early feedback. Oh and my Sony 32GB 94MB/s card corrupts during the shoot. Thus putting me behind the 8-ball and forcing me to get creative for the rest of the shoot. Maybe I like that pressure? Blessing in disguise?
We don't replace our primary cameras very often, but to meet increasing videos demands Tyler went with a new Sony, the a7RII. The long and short is that it's image quality is best in class with super sharp, high resolution images with lots of dynamic range in the shadows. The down side is lots of interface design problems, consumer level build quality and very slow image review. Samples from the Sony a7R II
Rich and i discuss the pro's and con's of the Sony a7 line. As wedding and corporate shooters where do they fit in to what we film day in day out. We also have a couple of questions from you the community which we get into. Thank you for listening.

Have you been lying awake at night asking yourself endless questions since Sony released their new “game changing”-mirrorless-megapixel-behemoth? Questions such as: What do three photographers whom I've never heard of think about this tiny new razzle-dazzle photo box? Or why don't people reference the movie Ghost as frequently anymore? And is white wine any good? You're in luck – because you'll sleep easy after we answer these deep burning questions on the first edition of THE MAXIMALIST. And yes, we are aware that the last sentence suggests that you'll find the show very boring. We're intentionally leaving that vague to add some spice to our relationship. Did it work?
