Might be so with a mechanical shutter, but we don't know what exactly is going on with an electronic shutter, do we? There's software involved and it's hard to know what's being done in camera, there might be some magical readout mojo going on which you might not be able to emulate in post.

this was shot on the humble NEX5n, more than 3 years ago at around 400iso i think. imagine how clean the a7s would be when in this mode.
Awesome stuff, thanks for the insights!

Course it will be supported, it's been the certain future for some time. With H/W support having arrived, I'd suppose it will happen during the next 12 months.

I might not be too professional about this, but I came to the conclusion that complex RAID setups are nothing for me and as long as you're no data host or anything, I don't believe it has to be for you, either.
Consider this: the really high transfer rates you need only for editing, so I go like this: I use a RAID 0 of two inexpensive 7.200 RPM HDs for editing, temporary storage, two SSDs (one for OS, one for caching), so you can always read from one, cache on another and write to a third array/disk. If you need more speed, just use an SSD RAID 0 or whatever. In terms of storage and backup I use inexpensive USB 3 solutions like these:
Windows 10 works perfectly with USB 3 solutions (previous Windows versions did have issues), dunno about Mac, though. I just dump the data onto inexpensive 7.200 HDs (write speed around 120 to 140 MB/s), handwrite something on the label and put them into a closet. If the data is super precious, just get two disks. I do have a Synology 8-bay NAS, but I hate using it. And if something goes wrong, rebuild times are tedious, the damn thing has to run all the time and it's not as fast as your main workstation. So nowadays I'm all about JBOD (just a bunch of disks) as long as you have good control over your environment and shit. Works as long as you're no corporate bigwig. Inexpensive, uncomplicated and imho reliable.
Oh, if anyone in Europe wants to buy the Synology DS1813+, give me a shout.

That whole "reformat to change region" is an irritant. Some DSLRs don't do it, makes you wonder why Canon C serious and the Sony RXs, among others, do
Mental retardation?

Is it just me or is it absolutely crap?
You do have to figure out how to make it work and in what situations to use, then it's not absolute crap.

The thing is a tank.
:D Samsung gear IS known to be quite sturdy. Try that with a Sony.

Some tests I just did with the Samsung DIS
You should go off the Tyrrell's, you're shaking like mad!
I think the DIS is an interesting feature and quite admirable, I doubt there's any major company that would have added something like this gratis. It seems to work best with longer focal lenghts. And it just came out, so there's probably a few tweaks to be made.

Ah, alright, that's a bummer.

Just submitted a request for a return at B&H on this guy. I knew it was going to overheat after continuous use but WOW, not like this.
...
This is incredible disappointing since the image is really incredible in the right conditions.
I didn't trust the small body, wanted to get it over the RX10 in the beginning, as well, but held back. Just get the 10 instead if you're willing to pay the extra, same incredible image and no issues.

Looks great!!! Not sure how I missed this, but I'm glad I found it. The last shot is breathtaking.
Although short, the entire piece reminds me of the best summer day I never had. It's hopeful and sad with every passing shot. Like summer, it was over too quick.
Thanks my friend, appreciated. : )

Being the retardo I am, of course I had updated the Studio version with the standard update. Interestingly enough it worked, kept the Studio splashscreen and layout, just not the functionality. So nvm, Lord Blackmagic. And thanks again for your input, Mattias.

Science, yeah. Hail Science!

The site likes fast internet connections. I'm in dialogue to speed up the response time on the server. It's Google integration (analytics and fonts) that slow it down.
It's probably mainly the theme itself, nothing much you can do about that, depends on how it's coded. The ajax-heavy stuff is oftentimes problematic.

^so standard sony I guess?
Anyone able to compare the battery life with that of a t3i or NX1?
Yeah, standard Sony. About 60 to 70% that of the NX1, I guess.

dude youre the greatest!! TWO batteries and a charger for $27?!???? if i get two of those ill have five altogether thats soooo perfect thank uuu
Thank me again when your house is on fire and your kids and wife (if there are any) dead!
Charger really makes sense, charging in camera sucks.
-
Alrighty, will see then. If you don't forget about it, go ahead, otherwise it's no biggie, either. Thanks, Mattias!

Did you make sure to download the Studio version?
Otherwise it's probably a beta bug. Seems like they fix things rather quickly. V2 fixed all the issues I reported and only took a week or two.
It does say Studio on startup. Could you please check if the NR features are available for you?

speaking of extra batteries.... do you guys have any suggestions for the "transcend u3 card" of 3rd party batteries on amazon? lol i need that delightful dichotomy of reliability and frugality
P.S. cant believe i spelled dichotomy right on the first try
I'd just try something with a decent review track like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049WBZEK?redirect=true&ref_=s9_simh_gw_p421_d10_i2
I've tried two different cheapo versions and haven't had any issues, yet. They're supposed to not hold their charge as long as the premium ones, but I can live with that.

He said it: "reverse order of the video title"
So left is Oly, right Sony. Comes as no surprise.
