The Sony A7S camera is the best video camera in the market. But it has one major challenge when using the video feature. The video record button is too small, awkwardly placed and slightly recessed. This makes it very difficult to activate without much fumbling around. You usually have to remove your eyes from the viewfinder to even locate the button. All this searching and fumbling around can cause shaky footage or missing the action all together.
This is why we created the Cineasy Touch Button Enhancement. This Patent Pending device, for the Sony Alpha line of mirrorless cameras will help your camera to capture pristine video just as easily as it does still images. The Cineasy Touch installs in just minutes and is super intuitive and very responsive. The Cineasy Touch provides a larger point of contact that can easily be found without taking your eye off the action. Simply press the Cineasy Touch and record video intuitively and effortlessly.
You will love it so much you will never remove it from your camera. It simply attaches to the neck strap eyelet nearest the video button with the included screw. Its that simple to make your camera capture video like a professional. And for a limited time you can get yours for the low introductory price of $24.95.

43rumors.com and Fujirumors.com posted some last minute leak as appetizer for tomorrow’s announcement (Monday May 18).
A short heads up to remind you that next week is going to be quite interesting. On Monday Panasonic and Fuji will announce their small brothers of the X-T1 and GH4 flagship cameras.
And by end of the week Sony will introduce a new A6xxx camera and hopefully also the long time rumored A7rII.
Let’s see if the A7rII will become a real Canon 50MP cam competitor.
Also Nikon is suffering the digital camera market collapsing. Bloomberg reports:
Nikon plunged 11 percent, the most since August 2013 and the biggest drop on the Nikkei 225. The camera maker forecast 30 billion yen in operating profit for the year ending March, missing the 49.8 billion yen estimate of analysts. The company also slashed its 2017 operating-profit target to 38 billion yen, down from 110 billion yen in June.
Full data can be read at Nikon.
