First serious Panasonic GH4 contender, the Sony A7s 4K.

Share

Well, this was a short time alone. The GH4 will get a companion very soon! Tomorrow Sony will announce the Full Frame A7s that can record 4K videos too! I don’t know the specs and how bad or good the quality will be. All I know is that it should be more expensive than the Panasonic GH4 and that it’s likely to record 4K at a much lower bitrate and a less good codec (the consumer XAVCs).  Also there is a slightly crop mode on the A/s so it’s not even a “pure” FF. I don’t think Panasonic has to worry about that new competition…

More info at MirrorlessRumors.com. MR will also host a live stream event if you are curious to see the new cam.

a little bit of everything…(with Cosyspeed bag and video battle).

Thomas:long time reader of your great blog and CEO of COSYSPEDD GmbH, a startup from Germany with a unique bag for mirrorless cameras. See our first video: http://youtu.be/-UFOpSG3g48 (Posted on top of this post at 43rumors). In short:
Wear your mirrorless camera like a western hero wears his gun. Cosyspeed CAMSLINGER bags give you fast, one handed access to your cam, comfortable wearing the whole day long and a new, cool feeling when shooting photos. It’s a unique bag system that really brings out the benefits of mirrorless cameras.
Our website is www.cosyspeed.com and I think you’ll find more info there. Go to the media page to find some videos that’ll show the functions of the CAMSLINGERs.

Rey: “I posted some thoughts on my blog regarding my testing of the Fujifilm X-T1, Sony A7 and Olympus E-M1. Bottom line, I chose the E-M1. Here’s the rationale: http://2guysphoto.wordpress.com/2014/04/02/fujifilm-x-t1-vs-olympus-om-d-e-m1-vs-sony-a7/

Cody:I had a chance to shoot with the Panasonic Leica 42.5mm & GX7 this weekend and have complied my best photos out of a couple hundred. I can say 100% without a doubt the positive reviews online about this lens are an understatement. This lens literally is a steal @ its price of $1599 US. I have nicknamed it writefully “Bokeh Master” and to prove this nickname here is my photo set https://www.flickr.com/photos/princecody/sets/72157643127358715/
