After weeks of grumbling about the lack of interest in HDR PQ, a forum member over at DPReview took pity on me and shared a brief clip shot with his EOS R5 – and it really looks great! Too bad Sony doesn’t have such a feature on the a7s III!
Potato Jet: Why I’m Switching to Sony
a7s III Vastly More Popular Than R5

So it’s entirely possible, especially considering all the feedback Canon’s received, that they’ve got a fall… Read More
