Kai says the A7rII has killed the Canon 5Ds 50 Megapixel camera!

Sony A7rII vs Canon 5Ds size comparison (CameraSize).

A7rII and new RX preorders:
You can now preorder the new Sony cameras in US stores. Click on the store name to place your order and be among the first to get the camera in early August:

Kai and the A7rII:
This week the Canon 5Ds 50 Megapixel camera started to ship via many stores like Amazon US. But the new A7rII really stole the spotlight from the Canon. Even not-so-Sony-friendly Kai from Digitalrev just posted an article saying the A7rII is a “Canon 5Ds R Killer“:

High-resolution, 5-axis stablisation, 4k video, faster autofocus, better shutter – these are not marginal improvements but rather changes of a colossal scale. Other camera manufacturers should take note: the a7R II is how a product update should be done.

When you look at what Canon are coming up with and then what Sony are doing, you can’t help but think that Canon are holding something back, playing it safe. In this comparison, there is no comparison because it has become quite apparent that Sony is the one that we should be eagerly anticipating to make the next big moves.

My thoughts: I believe the Sony A7rII 42MP files will match the Canon 5Ds files in terms of resolution because of the newers Sony sensor technology. And I have no doubt dynamic range will be higher ont he Sony! Can’t wait to see the comparison between the two to see if I was right with my speculations!

One more thing: Hugh Brownstones thoughts about the A7rII:

YES – new ISO Auto Minimum Shutter Speed
New focus area Flexble Spot with area (or something like this, I forgot the name). What it does, it uses close focus points to the one selected

Hasselblad Lusso is for sale only in Lane Crawford and in selected camera stores in Hong Kong, Macau and China.

Share

Hasselblad just issued that press release to announce their latest SonyA 7r clone, the Hasselblad “Lusso”:

Press text:

The iconic Swedish camera maker Hasselblad, whose legendary 500EL was used by Neil Armstrong to capture the first images of the moon’s surface, has been in the market for lifestyle cameras since 2013, first with the Hasselblad Lunar, followed by Hasselblad Stellar and Stellar II.

The new Hasselblad Lusso E-mount mirrorless camera, featuring an impressive 36.8 megapixel 35mm full frame CMOS image sensor, brings the company’s strategy of offering consumers a symbiosis of elegant lifestyle, user convenience and state-of-the-art technology to a new climax.

The camera comes with a FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens. For its handgrip, a rich walnut Canaletto wood was selected not only for its strength but also for its warm essence. A matt finish obtained after a lacquering process retains the natural veins of this beautiful wood.

The Hasselblad Lusso, is a strikingly beautiful camera that will enthrall its owners not only by its beautiful aesthetics but also by its technical features and performance.

The Hasselblad Lusso will only be available at Lane Crawford and in selected camera stores in Hong Kong, Macau and China.
