Maybe now Canon will have to rename the R1 for the second time because of the amount they are behind Sony. The R2 maybe? LOL. And sad of course.

Good point. Meaning the initial slope would just continue, which is worse.Not a dual ISO sensor, so not likely.
The only flash system that supports such speed will set you back $25,000… enjoy!
Panning for birds against a bright background. Which is a VERY common scenario. Not saying it makes it unusable or crap. A global shutter is a pretty big step and kudos to Sony (with the obvious caveat that we don't really know yet how good it will be) but there are scenarios where it is not some magic bullet. If they keep a mechanical shutter though for those situations then it could be perfect if everything works as advertisedFor which wildlife subject would you need a global shutter, but still can afford low-ISO DR?
You're clearly missing the point. If you want to overpower ambient with your flash using a 1/80,000 s exposure, your flash must deliver sufficient power over a 12.5 µs duration. At full power, the Sony HVL-F60RM2 takes 2.8 ms (1/360 s) to deliver the light, so your 1/80,000 shutter speed would only capture a tiny fraction of it, defeating the purpose. In simple terms, that's like putting a 6-stop ND filter on your flash and trying to overpower the sun with it. Good luck with that.Sony HVL-F60RM2 and HVL-F46RM are compatible with that and they are like 400-500 €.
It's not a compatibility concern, but does the flash have enough power to match that speed.Sony HVL-F60RM2 and HVL-F46RM are compatible with that and they are like 400-500 €.
Yes, cool lens. You're right, it's on another level. Instead of just making an RF version of the EF 300 2.8, Canon made a 100-300 2.8 that is as good if not better than the prime. Which is more innovative?Did you\'ll see the FE 300mm GM 2.8? Yes it\'s only 300mm but look at the size and weight. Sony innovation is in another level. They\'re not only innovating in body but lens to.
Canon is more innovative with a new focal length/zoom @ f2.8 but Sony wins on size... except that Sony users also need a 70-200/2.8 to match the focal range.Did you\'ll see the FE 300mm GM 2.8?

thanks for pointing that outNot a dual ISO sensor, so not likely.
10 stops at 1/80,000 would be quite amazing.I’m guessing this camera will produce about 10 stops of dynamic range. I’m seeing both crushed blacks and blown highlights. I don’t believe Canon would release such a comprised camera. Frankly, I surprised Sony chose to.
I am not so sure when folks can choose the a1 for a little more money.For a sports-oriented camera should be fine, though.
Any camera maker can put a CCD sensor in a camera, have a global shutter, and call it a day.Many here talking about DR and all that. the GS benefits outweighs that.
Canon's is not that innovative.Canon is more innovative with a new focal length/zoom @ f2.8 but Sony wins on size...
Canon is Doomed™And, that’s the end of Canon. The world will laugh when Canon releases their R1 ‘flagship’ without global shutter and astronomical price.
And even months later of course. Pffff… shame
Rishi, is that you? Or perhaps some other random DPR “reviewer“? So funny. When the 1D X came out with DR 1-1.5 stops lower than the Nikon D800 or the Sony body with the same sensor, use case didn’t matter. Only the dynamic range in spite of the clear intended use case for the camera, with the highest full frame fps available at the time.Many here talking about DR and all that. the GS benefits outweighs that. Sony is also marketing it for sports, DR from sports specific cameras are usually low.
maybe in 6 months timeI am not so sure when folks can choose the a1 for a little more money.
On the other hand, there are certain shots that only the a9 III can take right now like a golf swing.
Won’t be less with a typical monolight. But the discussion was about overpowering the sun with a wide aperture lens. Even with a powerful monolight, a shutter speed that captures only a small fraction of its flash duration (and thus a small fraction of its light output), will not allow you to overpower the sun.you can use mono lights, it doesn't matter if the flash pulse is greater than 1/80000, it just can't be less.
At the end of the day, it depends if a monopod is used. "Light" is still relative to holding it for hours. Sony is making it easier to hand hold but won't always be used that way. At least there is an option for that choice which is good for everyone.It is the same size so mirrorless can't be a significant advantage.
I like what Canon did better but I also think it would make sense to have a smaller, lighter, and cheaper RF 300 f/2.8.
The EF version works perfectly well but now it seems too heavy.
