Mirrorless Cameras
The premise of the camera is simple: it's a box that allows a measured amount of light into it in order to create an image on a photo-sensitive material. Stroll through the B&H Photo SuperStore and you'll see there are literally thousands of different interpretations of how to best do this. Cameras of all shapes, sizes, and colors are on the shelves—all of them begging to be held and used to make photographs.
The camera, one of the world's ultimate gadgets, has an appeal that transcends a great cross section of the human race.
The wait is finally over, and Sony has unveiled not one, but two new game changing imaging tools to their arsenal. Introducing the a7R VI mirrorless camera and the FE 100-400mm f/4.5 G Master lens. The perfect marriage of speed and resolution.
Since its inception, the a7R series has been a mainstay of portrait photographers, for whom its high-resolution imagery benefitted large-scale prints in fashion, beauty, and art contexts. With the release of the a7R VI Mirrorless Camera, Sony has introduced speed into the portraitist's toolkit, eliminating the tradeoff between resolution and processing and making the act of portraiture one of agility and discovery.
The a7R series has long been popular among wildlife photographers for the big files and associated crop-ability so to speak. That said, one area where the R could use some improvement is in the speed department. After all, it was never designed to be a wildlife camera; Its bread and butter was always resolution with landscape, portrait and studio photographers making the most use of all the extra detail. But, as tends to happen, Sony bends the rules.
Sports photographers are newcomers to the a7R party. Not because they're late to the series, but because until now the camera line simply wasn't well-suited for action, what with its processor-hungry file sizes slowing things down. Sony aims to change all that with the a7R VI Mirrorless Camera, the company's latest 66.8MP full-frame shooter offering unprecedented speed for the series.
Wedding photography is a blend of genres, sort of a marriage (pun intended) between portrait, street, and occasionally even landscape photography. There’s always a bit of mystery when it comes to lighting, and we need to be ready for anything. In a reception hall, you may dimly chandeliers, bright LEDs, or even pulsating, colorful strobes from the DJ booth. All of these variables, and you may not be able to use flash! What can you do?
Getting a new camera is always an exciting affair. Whether it’s your first interchangeable lens camera or a long-awaited upgrade, there’s almost always new features to explore. Mirrorless cameras are especially exciting as they bring new and intuitive features that boost creativity while making photography easier than ever! Whether you’re new to cameras, shopping for one, or looking to dust off an old hobby, let’s get into setting up our new mirrorless camera.
