炸掉反光镜之后你真的了解索尼微单的魅力吗在蜂鸟摄影论坛上人物写真展现了它的无限可能
作为职业摄影师,我时刻要面对各种极端环境,比如高达摄氏50度的美国内华达州沙漠,比如低温负20+的日本北海道,比如突如其来动态捕捉,各种严谨苛刻的商业拍摄等等。这时候,或许你会认为只有专业级的单反才能胜任,10年前,这种观点我非常赞同,因为10年前我也用单反;10年后的今天,工欲善其事,必先利其器,每一场的拍摄都是不容有失,因为这是生存和生意,不是爱拍就拍,而我的选择,却是索尼微单™。
职业摄影师,连续多天高强度拍摄甚至整月拍攝都是正常的。单反自身重量不轻,一旦整天手持拍攝,就是个挑战,相信同行们都深有感触。过去梦想有一台轻便、性能强大的相机可以代替沉重的单反,现在就不用纠结了。自从全画幅微单™索尼A7系列发布之后,我已用索尼A7系列完成所有拍攝项目,无论是为杂志採集风光系列、人像类婚紗系列、抓瞎要求很高的大型婚禮现场系列還有商業採集系列,都覆盖了亚洲、歐洲、美洲和大洋洲。

不要破壞,不立,即使看到索尼澳大利亚把反光镜炸掉视频之后,我终于知道这次索尼是在玩真的,要向單反正式宣戰了……
Sony micro four-thirds this few years' development has been recognized by all. Especially the full-frame micro four-thirds Sony A7 series has received a lot of praise from professional photographers and high-end photography enthusiasts. But is it still lacking in directly challenging single-lens reflex cameras? Now Sony seems to be determined to challenge single-lens reflex cameras head-on, what happened? What capital does Sony have for its direct challenge to single-lens reflex cameras?
Goodbye Single Lens Reflex! Hello Micro Four Thirds!
Single Lens Reflex is a type of camera with a single lens and a mirror that reflects light onto the viewfinder. In using Single Lens Reflexes we rely on optics to capture images, which means you see exactly what you're going to get through the viewfinder without any distortion or bias. However since Single Lens Reflexes are more complex than Micro Four Thirds systems there is no mirror flipping up during exposure so they tend to be heavier and bulkier.
Micro Four Thirds on the other hand uses live-view technology where the image sensor captures real-time images as you frame your shot. This makes it easier for photographers who shoot portraits or landscapes because they can preview their shots before taking them.
I use Sony A7R with Zeiss Sonnar T* E 55mm f/1.8 ZA lens for portrait shooting and I find that it's very convenient when framing my shots especially when I need low angles or high angles because I don't need an external viewfinder.
For example while shooting in Spain Seville Square with my Sony A7R equipped with Zeiss Sonnar T* E 55mm f/1.8 ZA lens at low angle took me only seconds compared to using an SLR which would require me getting down on my knees or lying flat on the ground which could be dirty and uncomfortable.
The same goes for wide-angle photography where focus performance becomes important especially in wedding photography where subjects move around frequently and often unexpectedly requiring fast autofocus performance even at wide angles.
For instance during wedding photography in Hainan Island China using my Sony A7S with Vario-Tessar T* E 16-35 mm f/4ZA OSS lens at ISO3200 under dim lighting conditions captured excellent results without much noise thanks to its high sensitivity mode making it ideal for indoor weddings.
In addition many people believe that extreme cold temperatures below -20°C will cause issues like battery drain but surprisingly enough even under such harsh conditions my Sony A7S did not malfunction nor suffer from battery drain despite being used outdoors in snowy conditions during a photo shoot in Hokkaido Japan proving its robustness against extreme weather conditions.
