[Deal du jour] La DualSense Edge, sans être un modèle indispensable, est un bon accessoire, malheureusement vendu trop cher à sa sortie l'an dernier. La manette pro de la PlayStation 5 est bien plus intéressante lorsque son prix baisse un peu. Des promotions sur la console et ses accessoires sont aussi disponibles.
Depuis plusieurs années, la rumeur d'un casque Xbox VR circule. Microsoft, comme Sony, va-t-il se mettre aux jeux immersifs ? L'entreprise va bel et bien lancer un casque de réalité virtuelle, mais avec des ambitions très différentes.
À en croire différentes rumeurs très insistantes, Sony lancerait une PlayStation 5 Pro en fin d'année 2024. Il s'agirait de la console la plus puissante du marché, qui permettrait de faire mieux tourner les jeux du catalogue de la PS5 sortie en novembre 2020. Que sait-on à son sujet ?
The new Sony Alpha Setup Guide by Matt Granger is now live and ready to stream or download. The program runs for almost 11 hours and covers every full-frame Alpha camera. It includes CAMSET files, camera control as well as a complete menu deep dive of every item, and customization guides for Landscape, Portraiture, Sports, Wildlife, and video. The launch sale is now on - see this page for details.
[Deal du Jour] Sony n’en finit pas de baisser le prix de son casque WH-CH720N. Déjà à 119 € en juin 2023, il passe aujourd’hui sous les 100 €. Ce casque Bluetooth au rapport qualité-prix imbattable offre des performances haut de gamme pour un prix bien moins important.
Earlier today Weibo user E8M_8888 discovered a new Sony 262MP medium format sensor with a resolution of 19,200x12,800 (3:2 53.96mm x 35.97mm) - here are the technical specifications (IMX811-AAMR and IMX811-AAQR):
This new sensor (IMX811) may not be designed for consumer cameras since it is not listed on the official Sony page for "Image Sensor for Consumer Cameras":
Compact design with extensive use of lightweight materials
No stabilization and optical parfocus, making it unsuitable for video users
Excellent control of dark corners and dispersion, high resolution in the center of the frame, undercorrected spherical aberration, and an overall image that is soft and full of detail
"Set up your new Sony Alpha camera like a pro. Understand the different features and save time in the field. This 6 hour program covers the current Full Frame range, including the new α7R5, α7CR & α9iii."
De nouvelles caractéristiques techniques sur la PlayStation 5 Pro ont fuité, en attendant sa présentation à la fin de l'année 2024. Extrêmement puissante, cette console pourrait être le meilleur moyen de jouer à GTA VI.
Sony commercialise des plaques de personnalisation pour la PS5 Slim, ainsi qu'un socle pour la positionner à la verticale. Ces deux accessoires combinés coûtent cher, mais permettent d'améliorer le design de la console.
Les leaks sur la période de sortie et les spécificités techniques de la PS5 Pro seraient « réels » selon Tom Henderson d'Insider Gaming. C'est à prendre encore avec des pincettes, car il n'y a rien d'officiel, mais voici ce qu'indiquent ces leaks.
[Deal du jour] Sony possède une gamme de smartphones performants, mais souvent à un prix élevé. Le Xperia 5 V est un bon modèle et surtout un très bon photophone. Il est en ce moment 150 € moins cher sur Amazon.
After years of searching there is a solution that works! What camera fits in a pocket, delivers great picture quality, has a pleasurable user-interface and meets the needs of a discriminating photographer? The solution is at hand.
The most popular cameras today are full-frame mirrorless cameras because of the superb picture quality, intuitive controls and amazing performance. Canon, Nikon and Sony cameras top the best-sellers list with amazing choices that are smaller than ever. Yet every photographer longs for a pocket-able camera for a night on the town, dinner with friends, a hike, just to fit in a pocket or when we need discretion! How can we have our cake and eat it too? It’s possible.
The first option is the mobile phone. Yes, we all make phone-photos but most of us are not satisfied with the quality of the results or the creative options (ISO, shutter speed, aperture). In the past we have all bought the “premium pocket camera” like the Sony RX or Canon G and found the pictures and experience un-inspiring compared to our “big cameras.”
We bought M 4/3 and APS-C cameras and discovered the size is not-that-much-smaller than our Full-Frame cameras and the picture quality, camera utility, and photographer experience leaves us dissatisfied. Another good try yet fail.
YES, there is a workable and satisfactory solution to the compact camera conundrum…
Your favorite brand’s smallest Full-Frame mirrorless camera with a compact prime lens is the answer. For me, that’s the Nikon Z7ii with the 26mm 2.8! For you it might be the Canon R8 with 28mm 2.8 or Nikon Zf with 40mm 2 or the Sony a7C paired with the 35mm 2.8. These small Full-Frame cameras slip easily into a small purse, jacket pocket or walk-around in your hand. They offer the user interface, camera performance, picture quality and photo experience that makes you happy! Now, you have to agree to go with “no kit” to keep it small.
Go light and have some fun! Charged battery and formatted memory card in the camera and a minimal strap (Peak Designs CUFF wrist strap or LEASH neck strap recommended). Leave the case, bag, lenses, filters, charger and stuff at home. Just your camera in the pocket or purse.
On a recent rainy afternoon, I wanted to test my new compact camera concept. Off to LAX to do some street and location photography with Nikon Z7ii and 26mm 2.8. The camera fit ideally in my raincoat pocket and was 100% unobtrusive…. avoiding the gaze and ire of travelers and security alike. Using the flip-up screen, face-detect auto focus, AUTO ISO and manual exposure the photos appeared magically. It was freeing and exciting to walk and shoot effortlessly. The images were sharp, in focus and well exposed in a variety of lighting conditions…. just like you expect from your Sony, Nikon or Canon camera and lens!
The true test of concept was a night at Disney’s California Adventure with the wife and friends. This was a dinner-date and fun evening not a photo shoot. Camera in my pocket and a smile on my face. Low light, moving subjects, walking and talking all night and my kit captured amazing photos! What a joy to make pictures and have fun while not being “that guy” with my camera kit. Being able to control the focus square, shoot high ISO and wide aperture made me “feel like a photographer” without the baggage, while still being the attentive spouse! It was so much fun.
Having our full kit of photo gear is amazing. It captures superb photos. Sometimes, we need a smaller kit. My compact mirrorless Full-Frame camera kit allows us to tell our story and record the memories and be the photographer with just a camera in the purse, pocket or in my hand. Yes, they are available at PAUL’S PHOTO. In store, online or by phone.
