In those days the A9 is getting a lot of attention not because of the cameras features but because of some strange overheating behavior. It looks like the overheating warning gets triggered way too early while the camera really rarely shuts down. Sony is rumored to work on a fix for this.
Still, I am surprised Sony did not check this before they shipped out the camera. After all the overheating issues they had on previous camera models they really should have triple checked this!
There is a new Pinhole lens you can buy through Kickstarter. The lens is nice and cute but I am still baffled by the fact that the makers raised 8 times the requested target of 20.000 Canadian Dollars.
Can you really get rich by making Pinhole lenses? :)
CIPA released the April data and the trend is confirmed: The camera market is doing better than the previous year. While the compact camera market is on par with the previous year the system camera market is doing much better than 2016.
And if you look into the details of the data you can spot how the mirrorless market seems to be the real reason for the growth! DSLR shipment went down 10% while mirrorless shipments were nearly twice as much compared to April 2016!!!
Dpreview posted the Sigma Quattro H review. The praise the ultimate detail you get at Low ISO but still..this is a “complex” camera to live with:
Overall, then, the SD Quattro H is Sigma’s best ever camera. This makes it easy to wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone already invested in the SA system and, perhaps for the first time, to suggest it’s worth a look for a broader audience than that. If you bear all the drawbacks in mind, it’s worth considering whether it’ll suit your type of photography.

Doesn’t sound like the DJI acquisition will change a lot in the companies structure and philosophy.
