Sony NEX7 & A77


It's been a while since I posted some tech news but these are hot so I couldn't resist :)
On the 24th of August Sony is about to reveal some exciting new products. The e-mount Sony NEX7 and the a-mount Sony A77 plus some lenses. There is a lot of buzz going on on the internet so I don't want to be too repetitive. Check the links at the end of this post for more information.

Key (video) features among others are:
- AVCHD 2.0
- full HD 1080p at 60/50/25/24p
- full manual control
- 50-16000 ISO
- New 3-way tilting LCD
- three million dot OLED VF

- 1/8000 shutter speed
- 19 point AF system with 11 cross sensors
- 12 FPS (Photo)
- 24 Megapixel sensor
- APS-C

This is the first time Sony is bringing that to the filmmakers. People (on internet discussions) expect image quality across the NEX7 & A77 will be very similar with the FS100 & F3. That would be amazing...
And all this for 1800 Euros (with a 16-50 f2.8 lens included)? I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe it's time to let my trusty hacked GH-1 go... :)
Let's see what the Panasonic GH-3 is coming up with. There are rumors that it will have a global shutter... exciting times :)

Back from Norway

Hi there!
We are back since two days. This was a great road trip! It's sad that we didn't had more time to travel around, there is so much to see & do. Three weeks were just not enough. We drove over 7000km. It's a little bit sad too that we both became sick on the trip, so I couldn't do every hike I wanted and went surfing just once - but whatever, that's the way it is. I got antibiotics and a morphine cough syrup and survived ;) Norway is one of the most beautiful countries I've been to, that's for sure! I will come back!
Lot's of work to do now... First pictures coming soon on my Flickr.
Autumn will be a busy time too - lots of traveling and filming on the ASP Tour for Surf Chronicles. More infos about that soon!
Cheers!

Surfed Norway :)

Hi Folks!
It time to hit the road again! Julia and I are going to check out southern Norway for the next few weeks. This is pretty spontanious because initially we did plan tripping southern India. We got already two India visas in our passports but then things changed... I got sick and couldn't do some vaccinations, then we had some problems booking the flight and in addition there were a few other things going on which told us now it's just not about the right time to go. But the day will come for sure, sooner or later...
So Norway is our focus now! I'm psyched, I always wanted to go up there but somehow never managed it yet. We are going to drive all the way, sleep in the car & cook our own food. For sure I take lots of cameras with me. Can't wait to stand on one of those crazy cliffs looking down the beautiful fjord. I will bring a surfboard too because they have some pretty nice spots in Norway, so if it's on I'm in! :)
Hope you guys have a great summertime too!
Cheers,
Roman

Balis wakeup call

For some time now I get great emails from Alex, a friend of mine who runs The Chillhouse in Bali, about what everyone of us can do for a better environment. He's sending them mostly to people who live in Bali, run a business there, or are just interested in it... I want to share those words with everyone because this is not just a Bali issue, it concerns every single one of us every day everywhere.

Stop complaining now and do something!

Finally he and Cri put a little website online were they share their thoughts. I highly recommend checking it out!

From the website:
"The way forward is to reinforce critical thinking, taking action, and lead by example. Only then are we entitled to criticize those who don’t play by the green rules. And if we are honest, all of us pollute in a way, some more, others less. So we all better do our part and stop complaining. If everyone swipes in front of his or her own private and business door, then the whole world is clean!"
