On this episode #8 “We Shoot Mirrorless” podcast episode for November 2017, Scott and Marco discuss these new products and mirrorless topics: This show is sponsored by B&H: https://bhpho.to/2htc5AL Scott shares his experiences from visit Photo Plus Expo in New York and Marco talks about his 48h trip to Berlin. Sony announced a new camera. The a7rIII 42MP full frame camera comes with some nice speed, shutter and battery improvements. https://bhpho.to/2hrBlXX Sony also announced two new lenses for their mirrorless E mount. The Sony FE 24-105 f4 G OSS lens is a fairly light and versatile zoom. And the FE 400mm f2.8 GM OSS is still in development and is expected to launch in summer 2018. https://bhpho.to/2Aw4Bk0 Olympus announced two new fast prime lenses from their PRO lineup. According to Scott and some early reviewers the M.ZUIKO Digital ED 17mm F1.2 PRO and M.ZUIKO Digital ED 45mm F1.2 PRO will be game changers for their light gathering and shallow depth of field and bokeh. The lenses can be pre-ordered now. 17mm f1.2: https://bhpho.to/2htbn6z 45mm f1.2: https://bhpho.to/2AvF4aM Canon introduced the PowerShot G1 X Mark III. It is a fixed zoom lens camera that has a 24 MP APS-C sensor with dual pixel AF and Digic 7 processor and a fixed 24-72mm equivalent zoom lens with the fastest aperture between f2.8-5.6. It shoots bursts of up to 9fps and can record video at 1080/60p video. It weighs only 400g or 14oz and is like a fixed zoom lens version of the EOS M5 interchangeable lens camera. https://bhpho.to/2hs5PJw Hasselblad adds two new lenses to their lens roadmap. The XCD 80mm (63mm FF equivalent - aperture is still unknown) and the XCD 135mm f2.8 plus a dedicated 1.7x teleconverter. http://www.hasselblad.com/lenses/x-system Hasselblad has released a firmware update for the X1D. This FW 1.19 update adds more options to make the camera more overall more customizable. They have also added support for V system lenses. Leica now offers their 28mm full frame fixed focal length Leica Q camera in a silver edition. https://bhpho.to/2AvDCVQ Leica has resurrected the old Thambar-M 90mm f2.2 lens. A classic lens from the 1930s that is known for its extremely soft and blurry images and bubbly bokeh wide open. The main difference to the traditional model is that it comes with an M instead of a screw mount. https://bhpho.to/2htvl0O Fujifilm announced a square format Instax printer. The Share SP-3 SQ prints to the Instax square instant film and can print directly from your Fuji X camera or it can be used as a printer connected to your computer or smartphone. Each print takes about 13 seconds and each battery charge is good for about 160 prints. https://bhpho.to/2Aw2Mnv Nikon closes its camera and lens factory in China where about 2500 workers are employed. Nikon blames the rise of smartphones for this drastic step. Nikon also seizes their camera sales in Brazil. Mirrorless question of the month: Hi Scott and Marco, I’m a new listener and love your approach to do different topic shows in your feed each month. I am currently a Canon 5D MK III shooter and you guys have convinced me that I can switch to mirrorless cameras without sacrificing IQ. I do mainly portrait and travel photography and I’m wondering if I could get away with buying a less expensive mirrorless camera (i.e. Olympus E-M10 MK II, Fuji X-A3 or Sony a6000) and rather spend extra money on pro-grade lenses? Would I lose AF speed, accuracy, or IQ on those lower end models compared to the higher end ones?
