Sony has released some sample images shot with the recently announced Sony A7R IV and they look pretty glorious in their detail. The resolution of the original files is 9504 x 6336 pixels, and they range in file size from just over 30MB to just under 50MB as jpg files. Obviously, they haven’t let any raw files out, as there’s no support for them in anything yet.

by Leave a Comment
Ok, is it just me or are we living in 2014 again? Sony has today announced a “new” video creator kit which includes the Sony RX100 III camera. Yes, in a time where Canon is finally getting ready to add 4K video and an external microphone input to the G7X line, Sony re-releases (?) the Sony RX100 III, the 1080p compact camera announced in May 2014.
I’m not going to go over the specs of the RX100 III in this post, because everybody’s known what they are for five years already, but we will talk about some of the extra doohickies included in the kit that make filming and vlogging a little easier.

A major change – and learning curve – for me this year has been my switch from Nikon to Sony.

One of Sony’s investors is calling for them to spin off their sensor division
by 3 Comments
Despite Sony’s popularity with cameras, TVs, Walkmans, and other doohickies, one of their most successful units within the company has been their semiconductor division. The semiconductor division was actually spun off as a separate company back in 2015, but has remained a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony, who retains complete control.
Now, Daniel Loeb, an American investor who runs a fund owning a $1.5 billion stake in the company, has called on Sony to completely separate its “crown jewel” image sensor business from the rest of the company.

Sony’s report for the 2018 fiscal year is out, and amongst all of the usual mundane facts and figures is one particularly interesting piece of information. It seems that Sony’s share of the interchangeable lens camera market has now surpassed that of Nikon to claim the number 2 spot behind Canon.
Sony is reporting it has 23 per cent of the global interchangeable lens camera market based on revenue, and 24% of the camera market overall, an increase of four percent compared to the 2017 fiscal year.
