Balboa Park at Sunset. Shooting the Sony FS5 with New V1.11 Firmware
This Sony FS5 review is the most live one I’ve done. Just hours before I was going to send back my demo camera to Sony the V1.11 firmware update was released. Sony was gracious enough to let me hold on to the FS5 and update the firmware to test it out for a few more […]
Updated Sony FS5 Firmware V1.11 Fixes Tearing and Blocking Image Issues
The issues was noted by Paul Antico and Andrew Reed and although it can be avoided it certainly isn’t acceptable. Sony jumped on it and stated they are going to fix it and they did it record time. So what the heck is going on? Sony says it’s a two fold problem but both have […]

Sony FS5: Quick Slog2 S-Gamut Test Plus First Impressions
I took the Sony FS5 outside for a very quick test in bright light. For this I used the Sony E 30mm f3.5 Macro. This cheap lens is a very good performer. I use it a lot on the a6000 since it’s APS-C. Works great on the FS5 too. I really like shooting macro. It’s […]
Getting Audio Into the Sony a6000. Yep. It can be done PLUS Sony UWP-D Wireless
I love my Sony a6000! (now $500) It’s been a great “take me everywhere” camera. It’s really become my blogging camera too. I can fit it in a bag with my favorite Sigma 30mm f2.8 DN lens, and I’m set for BTS shooting. Yes, it has its faults, but all cameras do, right? With all the […]
