ZV-E1.Also in white, also comes as a kit with 28-60mm lens and that kit also comes in white. Also at Adorama.The ZV-E1 is a 12MP 4K Full-Frame no-viewfinder camera optimized for selfie run-and-gun video. Sony's pretty excited about this camera because it comes closer to how well the iPhone just works for video. Sony's pitch mostly emphasizes how many faces it can identify for autofocus and video frame rates and so forth — all number claims. Your video's not going to look any better or get more likes at 4K/60 than it will at 1,080/24. All that matters is the quality of your story and how well you tell it, not your frame rate or pixel depth. My curiosity is if it deals with real-world suboptimal lighting as well as the magic HDR of iPhone that makes auxiliary lighting mostly obsolete, and if the ZV-E1 has stabilization as good as iPhone which renders gimbals obsolete as well. 4K/120 and 1,080/240 are promised later in a firmware update. The other huge difference is format. If you want everything sharp and in focus, iPhone does that best with its small sensor and short lenses. If you want soft backgrounds, the larger sensor of the ZV-E1 has an advantage, although iPhone's CINEMATIC mode will do the same thing. The other real-world question is if the ZV-E1 can clairvoyantly keep everything in focus all by itself as well as iPhone does. When we shoot anything in Hollywood it's always all manual focus, with one guy, the focus puller, in charge of nothing but pulling focus back and forth between actors. You need exceptional care in focus with the limited depth of field of larger format cameras, while iPhones with their smaller sensors, larger depths-of-field and active LiDAR focus systems always nail it. 29 March 2023 |
A7R V ReviewFull-frame 60 MP, 7/10 FPS, ISO 100 ~ 32,000 (pull-push to ISO 50 ~ 102,400). Adds a HUGE finder to the A7R IV as well as a screen that flips in more directions, faster data handling with a deeper buffer, a bulb timer that only goes to 15 minutes (Canon's go to 100 hours), each of its two slots take either a CFexpress type A card or an SD card, a full-sized HDMI connector and a front-facing external light sensor for auto white balance (first seen in 2003's Nikon D2H). Still has a rolling electronic shutter. 31 December 2022 |

NEW: Sony A6700 (also at Adorama)NEW: Sony A6700 w/16-50mm (also at Adorama)NEW: Sony A6700 w/18-135mm (also at Adorama)Sony's newest APS-C camera: 26 MP @ 11FPS, 4K120. All of these since the original A6000 have been awesome, with instant autofocus and super fast frame rates. Honestly the A6000 is still so good I'm amazed how Sony keeps improving these little gems with each new version. Even better, the two best lenses for this camera are offered as kits. Get the A6700 w/16-50mm and you have a tiny camera with a collapsing lens that will fit in a big pocket, or opt for the A6700 w/18-135mm and you're set for everything with just one lens. These are my two favorite lenses for Sony. Get the tiny collapsing 16-50mm for general use and travel, or get the 18-135mm so you don;t need to carry (and change to and from) a separate telephoto lens for travel or just about anything. Bravo! 12 July 2023 |

NEW: Sony FE 50mm f/1.4 GM.This new Sony lens takes 67mm filters, weighs 18.2 oz. (516g), has an 11 blade diaphragm, has a 1.3'/0.41m close focus, a 0.16× macro ratio and sells for $1,298. This is a newer, better lens than the old Zeiss Sony 50/1.4, which costs more due to older technology. The old Zeiss lens took 72mm filters, weighed a whopping 27.5 oz./778g, had a 1.5'/0.45m close-focus and sells today for $1,498. Sony will keep selling the Zeiss lens because the Zeiss brand earned such status back when they made lenses for CONTAX and HASSELBLAD that some people will still pay a premium just for the name, even if the old lens is bigger, heaver and has inferior optics. The optics of either of these are extraordinary so there's no need to replace your Zeiss 50/1.4 unless you want to save a load of weight, but buying new today definitely get this new 50/1.4 GM. 21 February 2023 |

Help me help you top
I support my growing family through this website, as crazy as it might seem.
The biggest help is when you use any of these links when you get anything, regardless of the country in which you live. It costs you nothing, and is this site's, and thus my family's, biggest source of support. These places have the best prices and service, which is why I've used them since before this website existed. I recommend them all personally.
If you find this page as helpful as a book you might have had to buy or a workshop you may have had to take, feel free to help me continue helping everyone.
If you've gotten your gear through one of my links or helped otherwise, you're family. It's great people like you who allow me to keep adding to this site full-time. Thanks!
If you haven't helped yet, please do, and consider helping me with a gift of $5.00.
