Firmware Friday+1: Blackmagic, Canon, Fuji, Nikon, Ricoh, Sigma and Sony offer updates aplenty


 
 

This week's Firmware Friday roundup arrives just a little late, as your humble editor's been under the weather the past few days, and I didn't manage to finish writing it last night. In part, that was down to the amount of news there was to cover -- in the past seven days, we've seen updates from Blackmagic, Canon,...

Firmware Friday: Eye AF and more for Nikon Z6, Z7; stability improvements for Sony Alpha-series


 
 

This week's Firmware Friday roundup is a bit of an unusual one, in that while there are plenty of cameras receiving new firmware in the past seven days -- for 10 models, to be exact -- we actually don't have a huge amount to discuss. The reasons for that are twofold. While Nikon has updated both its Z6 and Z7...

If you're a Nikon shooter looking to get into video, you are probably saving up to grab the Nikon Z6, a camera with more video-centric features than any other Nikon before it. And after using it extensively, I'm happy to report that it is without a doubt...

Firmware Friday: New features and fixes for Sony Alpha A7 III, A7R III and RX0; Nikon Coolpix B700 too


 
 

After last week's monumental Firmware Friday roundup, the latest in our regular weekly series is more of a bite-sized morsel, bringing with it news of updates for just four cameras in the past seven days. Let's get right down to finding out what's new with the Nikon B700, Sony A7 III, A7R III and the CCB-WD1 Camera...

Sony A6400 announced, alongside souped up A9 firmware

 
 

Sony has just announced its first APS-C model in many years in the form of the (somewhat oddly named) A6400. We say oddly because both the A6300 and the A6500 were announced in 2016, and it's therefore not overly clear (at least from the name) where this model exactly sits. We've been told by some that it's the logical...

Firmware Friday: A holiday feast for Fuji, Olympus, Panasonic, Sigma and Sony shooters


 
 

Our final Firmware Friday roundup of 2018 is a biggie, bringing with it news of close to two dozen different camera updates for models from Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, Sigma and Sony. And as if that wasn't plenty, we've also uncovered two movie camera updates from Sony, as well as a lens and software update...

Sony @ CP+: A.I. is the future of mirrorless cameras; only we have the technology to drive market growth


 
 

Earlier this year, IR founder and publisher Dave Etchells and senior editor William Brawley attended the CP+ tradeshow in Japan, where they were fortunate to be able to meet with executives from many of the most significant companies in the imaging industry. As we work our way through a backlog of transcription and...

Firmware Friday: Bug fixes for Nikon P900, W300; Ricoh G800SE; Sony A7 III, FS5 and NXCAM NX5R


 
 

Firmware Friday returns for another week with a relatively compact list of updates this time around. In the past seven days, we've learned of a couple of firmware updates for Nikon's Coolpix-series cameras, some new software for the Ricoh G800SE, and a triplet of firmware updates for the Sony A7 Mark III, NXCAM...

Sony shows no sign of slowing down on its path to dominate the full-frame camera market. Its latest model, the super-versatile Sony A7 Mark III, is perhaps one of its most intriguing. Sporting an all-new 24MP sensor along with many of the well-received performance...

Basic redefined: Affordable Sony A7 III’s pro-grade AF and high-performing burst mode get a real-world test


 
 

A few weeks back, we told you about the brand-new Sony A7 III, the company's latest entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera. Described by Sony as being its "basic model", the A7 III is nevertheless a whole lot more than what the title might suggest. With this camera, Sony aims to get the fundamentals right even...

Shooting timelapse videos with the new Sony A7 III and Sony 12-24mm f/4 G lens

 
 

Sony Artisan Miguel Quiles was recently in Red Rock Canyon with the new Sony A7 III and as part of an episode of Adorama's "The Breakdown," he shows us how to shoot a timelapse on the A7 III without using the PlayMemories app, which is no longer available using the latest generation of Sony cameras.

Instead of using...

Head-to-head: The Sony A7 III compared to its nearest rivals from Canon and Nikon. Which would you buy?

 
 

It’s getting kind of expected for Sony to announce totally amazing technology, so when they just announce something that’s really good but not extraordinary, it almost seems boring. At first glance, the Sony A7 Mark III might not seem all that exciting, but when compared against its closest competitors, you start to see...
