The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

anyone wanting to fix stripes on their A7III - https://www.dpreview.com/news/6974141509/sony-striping-heres-the-fix

though I am sure you'd prefer to own bodies without such issues :D

Interesting.. wonder if this can be fixed in firmware, or maybe incorporated into the RAW conversion, especially if its not just Sony related. I guess the issue as mentioned is that there are more AF points on the Sony sensor, which I guess will become the norm for most mirrorless cameras in the future.

I wouldn't say the norm because I don't think this is an issue with canon's dual pixel AF

It's known as 'PDAF striping' and it's not limited to a single camera, or even a single brand. PDAF striping is one of those annoying issues which only shows up sometimes, and which depending on the kind of photography you practice, you might never see. But if you do see it, it's pretty unpleasant, and very distracting. Particularly if you print large, or pixel peep.

Canons ospdaf is different and it doesn't effect it but it has it's own issues.

As twist said canon's dual pixel AF is different. They don't have PDAF points like Sony/Fuji/oly do (or any brand that uses hybrid AF)
 
Hybrid is faster and more accurate. DP has less DR.
Not sure if that's because the concept inherently has problems or if canon made a half-arsed attempt at it. Wouldn't be surprised if it's the latter.

Sony also patented a dual pixel AF design not long ago. I think the next A7SIII will have it. It's better than hybrid PDAF for videos where you need the smoothness instead of speed.
 
Well... You can say it's the norm with cameras using hybrid PDAF. Even so as dpreview said it's not seen or have been reproduced in all bodies with hybrid PDAF...
If you think about what you are seeing and how the AF sensors are implemented, it's going to be more of an issue when there are a large number of AF sensors.
I don't thing *currently* many other brands have as many sensors as the current Sony's.

Maybe other makes have seen this issue, but have already implemented a fix in firmware.. I guess we will never know, but more importantly, there is already a fix, albeit in post processing.

It's concept issue cos the pixels are shared so less DR. This probably also effects iso.

Be interesting to see if they use it.

Sony, c1 and adobe should fix it.

That is a good point you make. This is because other brands such as Fuji license one sensor from Sony and they reuse it. Sony on the other hand have more options...

Family photo, minus a 5D4 which I am holding.

but apparently they've got their skin tones sorted so its all fine ;)
Haha.

I have a friend that is very talented photographer; mostly events. He has done a number of weddings, although doesn't like the hassle of doing photo albums or working weekends.

He only uses Fuji for that reason, the out of the camera perfect jpeg skin tones.

He is a bit old school, from a film background. Turns up, takes the photos, and at the end of the event hands over the jpegs unedited.

I think for togs that work with a fast turn around, perfect skin tones and white balance from the camera jpegs are priceless.

I guess that is why a lot of them shoot Canon at the Olympics, like you said, editorial, fast sports events, you need to shoot and upload to Reuter within minutes of whoever won the 100m Gold. You want to be the first to upload that finish line photo up online. You shoot jpeg, you don't edit, you just get it done and send it out.

Funnily enough we both were ready to settle on the samyang but got a last minute deal on the Sony :D

Also if I'm to buy a 50mm-ish lens it'll be the canon 50mm F1, the rest at boring :D

How much did you get the Zeiss 35 for?

Funny you mention the Canon 50/1.0….I thought about it but it's too expensive and hard to find. Funny fact, the 50/1.2 isn't its true successor, the 85/1.2 is.

£850 and a coffee :D

Yeah not a fan of the 50mm/1.2, I almost prefer the canon 50mm/1.4.
Well I know someone selling 50mm f1 for £2300. But they hadn't found a customer in ages... Expensive is one thing it's also hard to come by

Damn, that's a good price for the Zeiss, and the 50/1.0 too.
