Sony, it’s all nice and good what you are doing now with your camera and lens tech. It’s exciting and finally also a real serious competition to the Canon-Nikon dominated PRO world. But there is one annoying and very major obstacle to Sony’s success and it’s their very poor PRO service. As Matt Granger explains you in that video the issue is so big that no PRO photographer can seriously think to use Sony gear. Let’s hope Sony will finally recognize that photography is not just about tech, but also about supporting photographers!
David McDonald spotted that Nikon ad at Camera/Opticians in Belfast. Nikon marketing must have some bipolar disorder to show a Fuji camera on their ad with the text “I see our heritage”. Or maybe that’s just a classic Freudian slip. Indeed Fuji took your heritage while you gave us the Nikon 1 series :(
With that “thing” attached on the A7s you can cool down the sensor by 18 degrees. And this will improve the noise performance of the camera. Cool!
