The Digital Photography Review Newsletter for Wednesday, September 9, 2015

The Digital Photography Review Newsletter The most popular weekly photography newsletter, with over 400,000 subscribers Wednesday, September 9, 2015

Welcome to the 577th Digital Photography Review newsletter. Things are busy in the DPReview office. As summer begins to wane it can only be a matter of time before we have to start summing up the year that's already done such a great job of rushing past. There are still cameras to be reviewed, shooting experiences to be conveyed and, of course, the small matter of PIX2015. There's plenty more to come in the approaching weeks, but here's what the past seven days have held: A quick look at Sony's Raw compression As we've been working through our studio analysis of the Sony a7R II and realised we couldn't tell the whole story without having a look at the compression that Sony is applying to its Raw files, and the camera's habit of dropping to 12-bit capture when it's shot in certain modes. We've taken a quick look at the theory and the real-world impact these design decisions have, to set some context for our forthcoming analysis of Sony's 42MP mirrorless model. Read about Sony's Raw compression and when, where and how much (or little) you might have to worry about it. DPR reader wins a Sony World Photo Award We'd already featured Andrew Suryono's excellent image of a young Orangutan sheltering from the rain when we published a slideshow of stand-out entries from the Sony World Photo awards, back in December. Since them, Suryono has gone on to win his local 'Indonesia' category of the awards, so we spoke to him about how he got the shot. Check out Andrew Suryono's story Readers' Showcase: Gene Smirnov It's not just Suryono's photos that have impressed us this week. Gene Smirnov is a regular DPReview reader whose work covers a broad range of styles and subjects, and ventures from from black and white to dramatic use of colour. He talks us through his approach and his inspiration in this week's readers' showcase. Take a look at Gene Smirnov's portfolio Leica S (Typ 007) samples gallery We've already shot the Leica S in our studio but its makers are clear that it's not intended to be just a studio camera. We took Leica's latest medium format DSLR outside with its 70mm and 120mm lenses, to see what its 37.4MP could do. Browse our real-world Leica S samples gallery Sony Cyber-shot RX10 II added to studio scene The latest camera to emerge from our studio is Sony's RX10 II. The latest version of Sony's large sensor, long zoom model features the Stacked CMOS sensor we first saw in the RX100 IV. How does it look through the RX10 II's longer lens? See how the RX10 II compares in our studio What else is coming up? The Sony RX10 II and a7R II reviews are both entering their final phases and there are another couple of bits and pieces we hope to bring you in the coming weeks. A quick glance at the calendar and the busy demeanours of my colleagues reminds me that it's just a month until PIX2015. I hope you're planning to watch. Richard

The Digital Photography Review Newsletter for Tuesday, September 1, 2015

The Digital Photography Review Newsletter The most popular weekly photography newsletter, with over 400,000 subscribers Tuesday, September 1, 2015

Welcome to the 576th Digital Photography Review newsletter. We've been hard at work this week, finishing up studio testing on the Sony A7R II. The latest installment of our review-in-progress is the studio test scene, and we'll have more on the way very soon. We're also making progress on our review of the Cyber-shot RX10 II, and you'll find a link to our detailed shooting experience below. Serious zoom: Sony Cyber-shot RX10 II shooting experience We've been toting around the Sony RX10 II for a little while now, testing its ability to capture 4K video, high speed stills and super slow motion video clips. And while a superzoom may not be DPReview writer Dan Bracaglia's first choice for his favored rock-and-roll and street subjects, he ultimately came around to the impressive capabilities of this camera. Read about our experience of shooting with the Sony RX10 II A lot to like: Real-world Leica Q gallery posted The Leica Q certainly wowed us when we spent a little time with a pre-production unit back in June. Its 24MP full-frame CMOS sensor, 28mm F1.7 stabilized lens and 3.68M dot equivalent viewfinder cut an impressive figure, something modern and classic all at once. Now we've been out shooting with a full production camera and have been quite impressed with our results - take a peek. Check out our real-world sample gallery from the Leica Q Hands-on: Leica claims fastest in the world for its new CMOS S (Typ 007) Originally announced last September, Leica's medium format S camera presents a number of key changes that bring it up to date with the latest models from its main competitors. Although the S Type 007 retains the same pixel-count as the previous Type 006, the company has switched from its traditional CCD sensor to a CMOS unit. It also claims the title of world's fastest framerate in its class. We spent a little time getting to know the S Type 007. Learn more about the Leica S (Typ 007) Readers' Showcase: Tony Eckersley You may remember DPR reader Tony Eckersley by his impressive photo of the Las Vegas skyline featured recently. From the Pacific coast to the American Southwest, Tony spends his weekends in National Parks photographing desert vistas and rocky coastlines. Find out more about him and take a look at some of his work. Take a look at Tony Eckersley's portfolio BSI Boss? Sony Alpha 7R II added to studio scene Sony's Alpha 7R II breaks a lot of new ground in terms of photographic technology. Its 42MP chip is the first full-frame backside-illuminated sensor, and it's bolstered by a 5-axis stabilization system. We've been testing its autofocus and low light capabilities, and now we've put it in front of our studio test scene. Find out if a BSI sensor gives it an edge over its peers. See how the a7R II compares in our studio What else is coming up? Reviews of the Sony a7R II, Canon EOS 5DS/R and Nikon D810 are being worked on concurrently, and we're also working through our review of the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 II. And don't forget PIX - it's shaping up to be a great show, and I'm excited to unveil the full schedule very soon. Click here to sign up for more information. Barney

But analyst Heino Hilbig says that it's not smartphones, market saturation or the fallout of the 2008 financial crisis that's caused this. Instead he argues that it's the fun-factor and easy operation that the iPhone brought that have made cameras seem less attractive. We think he's on to something.
