Today seems to be a great day for firmware announcements. Olympus just released a list of new features that the flagship OM-D E-M1 and E-M5 II will receive in November, while the new official SonyAlphaUniverse site along with Neil Manovitz (Deputy Vice President for Digital Imaging at Sony Electronics) announced that the long-awaited 14bit uncompressed Raw option will finally be available on A7 cameras.
We all knew that the Sony A7s successor would arrive sometime this year – it was hinted as much during the A7r II press event we attended a few months ago – but none of us really knew when.
Then today, during the Sony IBC Press Conference, the announcement was finally made. Just as Sony took flaw-ridden A7 and A7r and transformed them into the extremely functional A7 II and A7r II, the company has added all the right bells and whistles to the new Sony A7s II.
Trey Ratcliff has never been one to shy from a challenge. He was one of the first photographers to embrace the HDR technique which, love it or hate it, has become an extremely popular way of post-processing images. He also runs the web’s most popular travel photography blog, Stuck in Customs, where he has been posting a new image daily since its launch in 2004.
Have you ever wondered what a hybrid of the popular GoPro and the Panasonic GH4 would look like? Well, Z Camera, a two-year-old Los Angeles based company, is trying to bring this concept to life with its new E1 camera, the smallest Micro Four Thirds camera to shoot in 4K. Though launched only a couple of days ago, their Kickstarter campaign has already raised much more than the original goal and continues to amass support and funding.
Today saw the arrival of the successor to the now two-year-old GX7, the Panasonic Lumix GX8. With so many Lumix cameras having appeared over the past year, you would be right to wonder what new and exciting features the GX8 could bring to the system. Well, as it turns out, there’s quite a lot to be said about this new addition to the Lumix line-up!
