And we are done! Stay tuned at Explora for more coverage.
And as promised here are some samples from the just announced a7 III:
Elivs is on a motorcycle. #ElvisLives
I'm still working out here!
Jake hard at work. We will have samples soon.
Some of the stages Sony has set up for the event.
We got one! And the video team is putting together a nice overview of it as I post this.
Lots of different photo setups. And a line to pick up cameras.
I'm still here. Taking photos. Still kidnapped.
Ooh. Curtains are opening for a Kando experience. Stay tuned for more.
Sony is looking real good if there is their new "base model".
Pre-orders open on Wednesday at 10AM EST! for $2000 US.
Can't forget about lenses and accessories. An impressive 26 full-frame lenses in 5 years. And there's the brand new HVL-F60RM flash.
Finally, the a7 III gets the Z battery for a whoping 710 shots on a single charge.
4K with full-pixel readout, HLG HDR, S-Log3, etc.. all the video features pros have come to expect.
Pulled many features straight from the a9, namely the AF system. And there is also the shutter from the a7R III for 10 fps shooting.
Obligatory Bob Dylan "times are a changin'" quote from Neal Manowitz, who takes over and clarifies this is not the a9 Mark III. Laughs all around.
4K HDR, 693 AF points, ISO 204800... the a7 III!
4K HDR, 693 AF points, ISO 204800... the a7 III!
A new full-frame mirrorless also known as "the basic full-frame model." But Sony is making clear this is not the same "basic" you are used to
Sony has driven forward with mirrorless and full-frame. And I gotta say it was a great strategy.
Let's talk about mirrorless, by the charts is clearly doing well.
Kenji Tanaka, the Senior General Manager of the Digital Imaging Group has taken the stage to share the big news.
A new innovation and a new Kando experience...
Image sensors are Sony's big business. In your smartphones, and even in Aibo.
Sony claims they are bringing out products at a faster pace than anyone else, hard to disagree with that.
Best operating profit since the company was established in 1946. Wow.
Some wonderful news coming, but first some corporate news. Management changes incoming.
Mike Fasulo, the President and COO takes the stage first.
Ladies and gentlemen...
I feel like they just turned up the volume of the music here.
Not the worst kidnappers. I just got a free bottle of water and I have been offered food twice.
They just advised everyone to grab a seat. Must be starting soon!
Based on the logo above the stage, it appears that this is a Sony event. The kidnapper(s) failed to share that with me.
It's filling up in here. Now we wait...
I had plans after the WPPI booths closed. And then I got kidnapped and thrown onto a bus at the Shark Reef and brought to a questionable part of town for something with Sony branding.
Todd is here as well to take photos.
Hello world! Sony just announced a surprise event and we are on our way there. Stay tuned for more updates!
