Sony A9 III – the monumental camera
At their 10 years celebration of full frame mirrorless cameras, Sony decide to impress the world once again by launching the Sony A9 III with a killer feature, a milestone for the industry, the global shutter. I haven’t posted on this blog for more than 4 years, but this launch made me do it once again, and maybe I’ll do a review too when I’ll get my hands on it, because I’ve preordered the Sony A9 III the...
How is the new Sony 200-600 G OSS compared to the Sony 100-400 GM?
Even if I’m away from my country, where I’ve acted as a Sony Europe Imaging Ambassador since 2015 (we are moving with the entire family to Sweden), I’m still lucky enough to have the amazing people from Sony Europe trusting me to test new cameras or lenses they are launching. This time around, the newly launched Sony 200-600 G OSS. Sony 200-600 G OSS Weighting 2,115 grams it is a lot heavier than my Sony 100-400 GM...
No day passes without me thinking about the Sony 400mm f/2.8 GM
How can I not remember and dream more about this day? It was last summer when Sony invited me to the launch of the new Sony 400mm f/2.8 GM(onster). Even if it’s a badass looking and performing lens, it weights just 2.9 kilos and it’s an amazing tool to also use it handheld. And there are so many that are doing so (oh, I so envy you Alex Phan and other birders using this amazing lens). Since testing it back in London my...
Sony A9 firmware 5.0 is here and it just blows away everyting
Sony A9 firmware 5.0 is here and it just blows away everything I’ve seen so far in terms of focusing and tracking. I have updated the very first thing in the morning when it became available and the did a quick run to a nearby lake for some BIF tests. In order to be able to show others what I see in the viewfinder and how Sony A9 behaves with the new firmware 5.0, I have to connect the camera to my Atomos Ninja V and record the...
Sony A6400 – fotografia se schimba
Sony a6400 este una dintre cele 3 camere aparute in gama Sony A6xxx dupa ce producatorul nipon a dat “lovitura” cu modelul de baza a6000 (model care inca se vinde cu mult succes in toata lumea, cred eu cel mai longeviv mirrorless de pe piata). Au aparut Sony a6300 si apoi Sony a6500, fiecare aducand noutati si imbunatatiri modelului de baza, ultimul focalizandu-se foarte mult si pe partea video. Acum, intra in scena...
GoPro 7 black test in offroad
Am luat de curand un GoPro 7 Black sa inlocuiesc micutul session 5 pe care il aveam deja. Motivul principal a fost megastabilizarea de care dispune noul GoPro 7 precum si toate modurile de time-lapse si hyperlapse. Nu va spun mai mult decat atat: se ridica la astepari, ba chiar mai mult. Mai jos un clip de azi, de pe...
Sony A7 III – a new milestone of mirrorless systems
Sony A7 III – a new milestone of mirrorless systems Since I’ve heard about the launch of the new full-frame mirrorless camera, the Sony A7 III I’ve giggled in pure joy, but remained a little reticent thinking it might be too good to be true. And I mean Sony A7 III comes with all the goodies from it’s bigger brothers, the Sony A9 (check my review here) and Sony A7R III, all of these in a very competitive price...
Pixel Shift on Sony A7R III – Is it worth the extra work and time?
Pixel Shift on Sony A7R III – Is it worth the extra work and time? First thing first when I got the Sony A7R III in for tests was to check how Pixel Shift technology really works and what results do we get out of it. What is Pixel Shift first of all? The concept behind this is that better resolution and dynamic range can be obtained by taking the same shot in 4 different exposures, each separated by a 1 pixel wide moving of the...
Shortest day of the year. 10 tips for low-light shooting
Shortest day of the year. Tips for low-light shooting 21st of December is the shortest day of the year. This is the official beginning of astronomical winter. Winter days are short and pretty dark. This doesn’t mean we stop creating images outdoors even when light isn’t enough. Actually the best images in the city are at dusk (also known as blue hour – it happens after sunset and before total darkness in the night sky). As the...
De ce am renuntat la iPhone SE si am trecut la iPhone X
De ce am renuntat la iPhone SE si am trecut la iPhone X Acum 2 ani am vandut iPhone 6s-ul pe care îl aveam de doar 2-3 luni pentru ca se lansa ceva ce asteptam de mult, adevaratul urmas al lui 5s din punctul meu de vedere, mai precis iPhone SE-ul despre care scriam atunci aici. Astazi va spun de ce am renuntat la iPhone SE si am trecut la iPhone X. In primul si in primul rand pentru ca sunt gear-addict si putin tampit: nu prea mai...
