The only photo awards I pay any attention to. It's awesome that they would pick this of all dates to open it to entries! So great.

My Sony bodies are gripped whenever I'm shooting serious work with larger lenses but the rest of the time it's no grip + 40mm f2.5 G and I love it. I'll run that combo at some events where I want...

@Richard, yeah getting into advanced gamma curves like log modes is pretty deep technical stuff and confusing to a lot of people. It's a downside to how available these really pro tools have become...

This is a non-technical question, but why do a lot of manufacturers seem hesitant to admit their sensors are dual gain when it's an obviously advantageous feature? I recall during last year's...

Hasselblad and endlessly reminding the world that THEY WENT TO THE MOON; name a better love story

I'm really curious about this as well. There has to be a technical reason why 80/160 is a new normal and I'd love to hear what it is.

David, they definitely moved this camera further into the hybrid category. As a motorsport shooter who used the A7iii as a backup body it was a little disappointing to me but luckily used A9s are...

Exactly, another great point. Especially shooting a fast tele prime, the DoF is shorter than the car so focusing on the driver/windshield vs front end is a different photo. And for panning we...

Discussion around car tracking AF is always amusing to me. I'm a professional automotive and motorsports photographer and none of the pros I know have much interest in car tracking. We're either...

Based on the timing and content of this SW I bet that these features were in the development pipeline since well before the release of the camera and just didn't quite make it in time.

@Funny Valentine, do you have a source for this info re Sigma's licensing?

I still have two rolls of reversed Cinestill chilling in the fridge! There's like one YouTube video of what it looks like so I had been saving it for a halloween shoot or something. This is a...

It's interesting that three of the features Sony lacks (focus stacking, timelapse preview, and pixelshift in-camera compilation/preview) are all in the same category; in-camera RAW processing....

Heck yeah, Chris has done videos through having Covid, being wheelchair bound and wounded, and all kinds of other hardships. And Jordan made videos with a Pentax so basically the same!

This is pretty poor handling of this whole issue, especially as the world of data backup really should be giving us maximum peace of mind. I understand companies making mistakes but how they...

That does seem like a weird choice but I assume it's stopped down for maximum sharpness and they wanted a small enough lens to fit in their housing. And perhaps since it was a Sony project they...

Well they did release a firmware update that made some improvements. I think it seemed like the first firmware just had time limits and they updated it to be more of a function of actual temperature.

Also we can often spend a lot of time sorting by car/driver so we can distribute the images accordingly. We're at a point where face/subject recognition both in-camera and in Lightroom is...

Oh hey Tom, welcome to the comments! Yeah that's the biggest one. Motorsport photographers pan at very low shutter speeds and we'll take a 10-20 frame burst AT 10-20fps and maybe one or two will be...

If someone made a version of this for motorsport photographers that manually flagged all the blurry failed pans I would be so happy.
