New Camdiox battery grip for the A7/r/s.

SAR reader Fred (Thanks!) noticed that there is a new battery grip for the A7/r/s sold by Camdiox on eBay (Click here). That’s the second non Sony original grip alternative after the also just launched Meike grip on sale on Amazon US (Click here) and eBay (Click here).

This is the Camdiox Product Description

The is made by third party, as same as original Sony VG-C1EM battery grip. It is not from Sony, but almost same as original grip. This Power Grip is both powerful and versatile. Doubling the amount of shots that these SLR cameras can take on a single charge, the Power Grip also offers the flexibility of a secondary shutter release button for vertical shooting. It retains the tripod mounting thread as well, keeping the important ability to stabilize the camera during critical shoots.

This grip for Sony α (Alpha) iLCE-A7 / A7R / A7S completely replaced Sony original VG-C1EM Vertical Grip. This Vertical Grip also can hold two NP-FW50 Lithium batteries – effectively doubling your shooting capacity. It provides improved flexibility, not only helps steady your hand in both vertical and horizontal positions, but also provides a stable platform for shooting portraits, still-life shots and other subjects requiring vertical format.

This battery grip also provides additional controls for key functions and a shutter release that is located right at your fingertips when using the camera in the vertical position – eliminating the need for the contorted balancing act often required accessing the camera controls when shooting vertically.

– Vertical shooting

– Battery capacity doubled

– AF/MF and AEL

– User-defined C1

– Front rear control dial

– Perfect matching with camera body

Features:

1. The best choice for portrait photographs.

2. Provide a vertical grip shutter button, the shutter-lock switch, AF-lock button, AE-lock button, completely supports auto function.

Compatible With

Sony Alpha A7 / A7R / A7S

Package Included

Vertical battery grip for Sony A7 x 1

User Manual x 1

Retail Package x 1

(SR5) Good news: 5 axis stabilization works with ALL third party lenses!

Highly trusted sources (Thank You all!) confirmed the 5axis stabilization of the A7m2 works with ALL third party lenses like the lenses from the Leica M, Zeiss ZM, Konica Hexanon, Olympus OM series. Terrific news if you consider for the firts time in history those lenses will get a 4.5 stop stabilziation on a FF camera!

One of the sources wrote:

In body stabilization of the new A7II will work with all third party lenses. For lenses without electronic connections, you will need to manually enter the lens focal length. For lenses used with an electronic adapter, such as Metabones Version 4, the info is conveyed automatically to the camera and you will need to turn off any stabilization in the lens.

As you see form the images posted by Sonyshop-satouchi, Biglobo and Yagumo-Camera the 5 axis stabilization can be manually set for a long list of focal lengths!

P.S.: Sony A7m2 launch news is now reported on Sony Germany, Sony UK, Sony Italy, Sony France, Sony Australia.

Is Sony Too Big to Succeed? (Eetimes)

Christian: “I think I can say I’m the one dedicated to macro photography. I’ve always been a Sony user, my current camera is a NEX5-T, waiting to upgrade to the A7 successor. I think the NEX5-T is a very handy camera, perfect for macro work, even if I have to use extension tubes as we don’t have Sony macro lenses yet, until the 100mm f/2.8 is available:

Eddy: “Something that might be of interest to your readers: DxO recently launched a new version of DxO Optics, with a new function called ‘ClearView’, which is intended to get rid of ‘haze’ in landscapes. I’ve been using it a number of times, both on older and recent shots and it really does a nice job. As you know the A7R already has a really good dynamic range, but what DxO ClearView can do with it, in just one click, it’s amazing. Here are some pictures from last WE, with the setting sun and some nice clouds: http://ift.tt/1rgl6pc “

Brand new pictures from the A7m2 (with grip and lenses). And some new info.

Note: Sony A7m2 preorders will be available the coming week (likely around November 27). I will inform you when those will be online. For now the camera is only listed on Sony Germany, Sony UK, Sony Italy, Sony France, Sony Australia, Digitalrev. With only preorders accepted at Amazon Japan.

These are the very first real extensive hands-on pictures and reports coming from Sonyshop-satouchi, Biglobo and Yagumo-Camera. You can see many new details on these pictures like the different battery and connection slot (Click on them to see the larger version). The sites also do report a lot of other details:

– The A7mII feels really good in hand. Shutter button is easy to touch now and it’s easier to hold lenses due the larger grip

– A7m2 has not “4D focus” as the a6000 because the number of AF points doesn’t meet the required standard

– AF speeds is as fast as the A6000 anyway

– Sony again repeats the 5 axis stabilization has been developed by Sony and is not taken from Olympus
