At the tail end of its presentation for the new global-shutter-equipped a9 III full-frame camera, Sony announced that it would finally be bringing some of its new software features to select older cameras via firmware updates.
In the last decade, 4K video recording has gone from a format only used in high-end productions to a feature found on even the most entry-level cameras and smartphones. It was inevitable that there would be another resolution bump as sensors and computing power improved, and now we have a number of compelling full-frame mirrorless cameras that can record 8K video internally (right to the memory card). We decided to compare the most compelling 8K-capable, full-frame mirrorless cameras to see which was your best option today: the Sony Alpha 1, Canon R5 C, and Nikon Z8.
Sony's latest Alpha 7R V camera sports some seriously impressive capabilities that make it hard to ignore. But given the other cameras in Sony's line, even if this is the latest and greatest, is it the best for you?
Sony has announced a firmware update -- version 1.3 -- for the Alpha 1 that adds 8K 4:2:2 10-bit recording and Lossless Compressed RAW for still images.
The Sony flagship camera is here, the first of the mirrorless full-frame "holy trinity" of Sony, Canon, and Nikon to be released. Sony announced this beautiful beast back in January 2021, and today we’re going to take it apart, modify it into a full spectrum camera, and (hopefully) put it back together again.
In May, PetaPixel reported an in-body image stabilization (IBIS) bug in the Sony Alpha 1 camera. It, combined with issues with the electronic viewfinder (EVF) had left a large number of users upset. Today, Sony released new firmware that fixes both issues to the delight of the community.
The Sony Alpha 1 is Sony's latest and greatest full-frame professional camera, but some users are reporting a situation that can cause them to miss important moments: in some cases, the camera's in-body image stabilization (IBIS) will not turn on -- a delay that can last for several seconds.
The Sony Alpha 1 is really impressive on paper. What it can do has taken the industry by storm and the expectations of this camera are just as high as its $6,500 price. Clearly, it has been the focus of a lot of hype. So, does it live up to those expectations?
Since the Alpha 1 made its way into the hands of YouTubers and reviewers, a flurry of videos has been released that compare Sony's flagship against the Canon EOS R5. But is this really a comparison that we should be making?
CBS Sports is wrapping up preparations for the production of Super Bowl LV, and the newly-announced Sony A1 looks to be a last-minute addition into the equation.
The Sony Alpha 1 may have many impressive specifications, but one that stands out as having greater implications for image-making is the sensor readout speed: it's so fast it may be able to achieve the computational photography we see in smartphones in a full-size camera.
With today’s announcement of the Sony Alpha 1, we saw an important camera capability moved to the forefront of the announcement: shutter sync speed.
The upcoming Godox V1 has drummed up quite a bit of excitement by promising to be a more affordable alternative to the innovative Profoto A1 round-head flash. It has now come to light that the V1 will be priced at just $259, or about 1/4 the cost ($995) of the A1.
We all know and love the legendary lighting manufacturer that is Profoto. For decades, they have produced and supported the most durable, powerful, and consistent lighting equipment for professional photographers around the world.
Profoto has just announced the A1, the lighting brand's first-ever on-camera flash. It's also what the company calls "the world's smallest studio light."
Have you ever dreamed of using an off-camera flash with your smartphone? Godox wants to make it happen. The Chinese lighting brand is teasing an upcoming product called the Godox A1. It's a "phone flash system" that's both a flash and a transmitter.
