Next Generation Of Sony Professional Cameras

I was using the 4th generation metabones adaptor for years on my Sony cameras and recently it started to act up. I didn’t want to spend the 400 on this, but after holding off for so long, I’m glad I did. I instantly noticed a difference when using it. It was secure, had increased clarity and provided a more accurate color. I’ve been using this with Sony cameras and highly recommend.

The DOMKE Next Generation Herald Camera Bag (Black Cordura) is very good. It conveniently holds a camera with a 100-400, or 70-200 zoom lens. The leather handle is a nice feature. The black cordura fabric is perfect; it has enough firmness to it so the bag is not flimsy in any way. DOMKE makes high quality camera bags that are well designed. I own only DOMKE bags that I use for outdoor photography. They have worked very well for me. You will be happy with the performance of this camera bag.

This is truly one of the first Next Generation LED flashlights I seen in this Form Factor. I spend allot of money on Quality LED Flashlights for all of the obvious reasons. Well these let me keep those $$$$ in a safe place when I just need a Great Bright Light of a small task. I have one attached to my Travel Backpack, and one attached to my Travel Brief Case. I can leave the more expensive lights in my vehicle or home for when I know I'll need extended Run Time or a larger Light Source. Top Quality, equal to the larger units out there!

Play 5 provides great sound with an easy to use system. Next generation for other Sonos products would be preferred before a decision to expan to full wireless audio throughout the house. Option battery power operation would allow more flexibility to transport devices outside the house I.e. Garden. Option to use phone data to connect wireless device outside the home would be a good innovation.

I bought this hand strap after the original strap on my Domke Next Generation Ledger bag failed with it's plastic clips. So much for a premium bag. I digress. While not specifically described as being made as a replacement strap for the Ledger bag, it is a perfect fit. Same length and material as the original strap, plus the Domke logo embossed in the center on a piece of leather-ish material. And, most importantly, metal hardware, not plastic. In my opinion, this is EXACTLY the strap that Domke should have used on the Next Generation Ledger bag. Nice product!

Great for professional cameras!

As a professional cameraman, I have been using these Sony Digital Master HDV tapes for about 10 years for commercials and web videos. I have about 600 in my tape vault, all shot on my Sony Z1U and FX1 cameras. The tapes are extremely dependable. Amazingly, in all these years I've only seen a few momentary drop-outs, and I have never lost a scene to tape damage. These days I use my HDV cameras for second or third cameras on many shoots, or when I need a special look such as low shutter speed. I am very glad that Sony continues to make this tape, and that B&H continues to sell them.

While digital technologies continue to be perfected with professional camera use and their widespread applications, the latest Sony RX1RII fixed Zeiss lens camera (other cameras allow long-lens variants) exceeds expectations, especially when printing work on a large scale (with the Epson Stylus Pro 9900). While some relatively minor imperfections exist as with all cameras that professionals adjust to, the expansive quality of color, remarkable low-light resolution, extraordinary image quality and virtual unlimited visual potentials provide challenges that move into unchartered territory for artists (see attached site-specific photographic installation of 112x152cm prints). The most problematic issue is not Sony's: Adobe Photoshop has abandoned the long supporting professional community by not making a plug-in for this camera's RAW files (ARW in Sony terms). Two alternatives: 1) join the CC monthly feed of Adobe Photoshop (APS), abandoning the experienced professional use of all former Photoshop versions, or 2) for 99$ purchase the most basic APS Elements software that notes the Sony RX1RII RAW files are supported, at least noted in Elements literature. What a way to treat loyal professionals and Sony over the years, claiming that CC is better without meaningful details justifying the obvious money first, customer second policy for purchasing the CC version. Not mentioning inevitable future rises in CC prices, non-copyright protections in-Cloud, and not allowing printing in your studio with your own APS, even when CC RAW is tiff converted. Sony's RX1RII with Zeiss lens and its internal digital processor chip is remarkable for what the eye can see (numerous professional digital cameras now exceed what can be seen without mention), even with the rare if not unprecedented 600$ additional cost recently by Sony.

I do professional videography but I started out years ago shooting on a Pentax K1000 film camera. I bought the a6000 primarily for shooting video with a large sensor camera. This camera is fantastic. At around $500 there is nothing that comes close in features and it has a aps C sensor which is found in 90% of all dslr and mirrorless cameras. I’ve seen canon 1” sensor point ant shoot cameras for hundreds more. I shoot low light wedding videos on this camera and the video looks fantastic. It also shoots video in Sony’s xavc 50 mbps format which is found on Sony cameras and pro camcorders costing thousands more. This small camera is a beast!
