New A5100 gets tested at Cinema5D. Shows impressive dynamic range and beats the 5dmarkIII.


Image courtesy: Cinema5D


The newly announced Sony A5100 got lab-tested by the Cinema5D team. As you can see form the graph on top the dynamic range is imrpessive for an APS-C camera:



In terms of dynamic range the Sony A5100 surprises with the measured results and beats most other important cameras we tested, even more expensive ones. It also shines in rolling shutter performance. Overall it seems Sony has built its latest processing technology into this little mirrorless camera, providing good lowlight noise levels as well, which however we see nowhere close the A7s (not tested scientifically yet).



Sounds really great!

New Hasselblad H5D 200c with Sony sensor can takes 200 megapixel pictures and $50,000 from your bank account :)


No guys, Megapixel madness will never be over. Hasselblad just announced a new H5D 200c camera which is an improved version of the H5D 200ms which sells for $44,000 at BHphoto (Click here…if you are rich). The camera uses the Sony 50MP medium format sensor and has a unique feature which allows to take 200 megapixel pictures! This is how it works according to Hasselblad:



The H5D-200c MS camera uses a 50Mpix CMOS sensor mounted onto the Hasselblad patented symmetrical multi-shot frame, which accurately positions the sensor with a sub-micron accuracy using piezo-electrical actuators. It can capture 6 shots with the sensor positioned accurately at a sequence of quadrants of the pixel and takes color information from the Bayer-patterned pixels to create a 200Mpix capture. This results in a leap in resolution that has to be seen to fully appreciate the tremendous difference it makes. Be prepared to be impressed beyond your expectations.


The sensor moves 1 and 1/2 pixel at the time, to create a 50 or 200 megapixel capture. Here is an image that shows the difference between the different shooting modes (Click on image to enlarge):



The full technical info can be read at Hasselblad site.



Hey Sony, just for fun, why don’t make a 20-shooting mode to give us 1 million megapixel images? :)

(SR5) More images of the strange selfie-camera with Sonys curved sensor (and specs confirmed).


Here are more images of the Sony KW1 selfie camera which is the first camera using Sony’s new curved sensor tech!


This is also interesting for us because Sony stated they have developed a Full Frame curved sensor too. And that new Kw1 proves that kind of sensor is 100% ready for production. Let’s see that damn RX1s soon! :)
