NIKON Z 6II AND Z 7II | NIKON HAVE LISTENED AND IMPROVED
by Adrian Deary
14/10/2020
14/10/2020
Nikon's first foray into serious mirrorless, the Z 6 and Z 7, performed well and were very well received. Despite that, soon after launch there were already dissenting voices questioning the wisdom of “only having a single card slot”, “is the AF sophisticated enough”, “that fps seems quite low as does the buffer size” and “what? A battery grip that only holds batteries”. With the Z 6II and Z 7II Nikon have answered all those questions and more.

SONY A7S III IMAGINATION IN MOTION
by Adrian Deary
28/7/2020
28/7/2020
A week maybe a long time in politics, but 5 years in digital camera development is a lifetime. A lot has happened since the A7s II burst on to the scene in September 2015. With the A7s III featuring only a 12-megapixel (albeit all new) sensor, this may not be your first choice as a stills camera. Despite the legendary low light/high ISO capability of its predecessor, its performance has been eclipsed by higher resolution models in the interim. No, this is clearly aimed at videographers.
