Sony Professional Cameras Reviews

All of the other reviews are true. It really is one of the best portrait lens you can get for Sony cameras.

I've often wondered when digital cameras would evolve into sensible designs that weren't hybrids for transitioning from analog equipment - all those same kind of ugly me too designs that I never liked, and couldn't bring myself to throw my money at. Well, here is my opinion on this long awaited design, the one I've been waiting years for: The camera not only gets rave reviews for innovation, and for good reasons (read formal reviews), it's light in weight, small in size, produces very high image quality, is user friendly, reasonably priced, has interchangeable lens capability, is smart looking, and can be used for professional work. It was long overdue on the market. The fairly large low noise sensor, even at the high ISO settings, outdoes many professional DSLR's on the market (I use various high end DSLR's for my professional work at times but I don't personally own any of them). And that's the bottom line for me. It has everything I could ask for in features; image quality, built quality, controls/settings, and much more that I don't require. After extensively researching all the cameras in the same class I decided that this is the one for me. The very compact and lightweight 28mm-84mm (35mm equivalent) zoom lens it came with is also all I could ask for - my two favorite lenses for my old 35mm film cameras were the 28mm and the 85mm fixed focal lengths - it's my dream come true. I love this camera, which produces very large 35Mb image files that easily please those who buy them when I use it for business transactions. And the hot shoe allows me to use my older studio flash units. The on board pop-up flash is a plus for the point-n-shoot people, which I find myself doing at times even though I prefer total manual control without any enhancements switched on. The HD movie mode will also please when there's a need for it. Simply put, it's a great camera to own.

I was a bit skeptical when I purchased this because reviews on Youtube etc. said it didn't work with certain cameras and had audio problems. I found none of that. I tried it with a Nikon Z6, a Sony A6300, a Sony HDR-AX100 and a GoPro 7 black. All worked perfectly. I have the card in an Xcellon Little Brother thunderbolt chassis. I'm using it with a 2018 Macbook Pro. I9 6 core. I highly recommend this card.

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!

As a professional, I always want the most reliable and compatible equipment to compliment my cameras. This battery is used with my Sony a7sii and yields professional results.

For Sony cameras I recommend no other. I have tried them all these are the best.

it's a must for sony alpha series cameras, the more the better.
