Philip Bloom Video Auto-Focus Mega Test Part 1

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 29, 2016

Philip Bloom started a pretty big video auto focus shoot out between 10 cameras. In Part one Bloom starts off with some pretty typical tests, before trying an impossible test and giving up. The Sony’s all do very well, but so do the dual pixel focus Canon’s. In this video Philip Bloom tests the

I wish he included the Fujifilm X-T2 in the test, but he hasn’t done a lot of Fujifilm work in the past. I can’t wait to see part two.

DXO: Sony RX100 V vs IV

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 29, 2016

DXO compared the Sony RX100 V vs IV and unsurprisingly the sensors are practically identical. The main difference between the two cameras is autofocus and burst capabilities, which are impressive.

The upgrades to Sony’s RX100 V autofocus and burst shooting frame rate are welcome improvements for photographers after a high-performance compact. Its incredible 24fps frame rate with full autofocus and exposure tracking, not to mention its ability to capture up to 150 RAW and JPEG files, is some impressive high-speed shooting, and the new 315-point autofocus should improve focus tracking, too. Image quality hasn’t improved over the Mark IV, but it’s still very good for a compact camera. If you can shoot outdoors or in good lighting conditions at low ISO sensitivities, both color and dynamic range are excellent, and noise is respectable up to ISO 800. If high-quality low-light photography is important, however, the higher levels of noise above ISO 800 might be disappointing and may require some smoothing in post-production for better results.

I think most photographers find lens design interesting, but very few will ever take the time to go beyond creating a pinhole camera themselves. Mathieu Stern’s 3D printed lens is one of a kind and it doesn’t look half bad on his Sony a7II for a print. Read More »
