Thank you. Mine arrived today, and I am thrilled with my decision to sell off the A7RII to get the A9. So much more enjoyable. Speed, response, feel, EVF, battery (I get 4-6X the battery life over. the old system) and well, everything. The AF for video is 2X as fast as well and now useable for my Vlogs as well.
Sony made this camera to have minimal rolling shutter effects. The situation where you will see this though is very rare. I have not seen it in any video I shot, but I never see it in my A7RII video. For me, if it never shows up in real world shooting, it is not an issue. So many try to find things wrong that will never even show up when using the camera correctly. I use a camera in the right way, daily for at least 2 weeks and report my findings. I found no issues at all when using the camera as it was intended. Now, while I was with others using the A9, someone tried to get that effect, and they did, though it was MINIMAL, and much better than previous models. So it may be there in some situations but again, I never saw it.
I did 2-3 videos with my thoughts on the A9. I already said all I really could say besides show the menu, and controls, but there are 100 other videos out there already showing that ; ) Also, I only had this for a short time. Sony. used to allow 4-8 weeks for reviews, now it is 2, and I was traveling half of this time. So did not have as much time with it as I would have liked. I will do a video and follow up when I get my own A9.
We have over the years, and continue to for different work, shot every camera system there is, extensively. From Leica to Nikon to hasselblad and phase one. You name it. And this is hands down the best all around camera we have ever operated. By a mile. It really is just that good. Even the feeling of the buttons are different/improved. Camera operation is so much more snappy. The evf is ridiculous and especially so once you zoom in with manual focus lenses.
It's sort of an open secret: Almost all the camera reviewers have some sort of relationship with the camera companies. Even here, there are two Nikon ads on this page as I am typing. I go to a review of a Sony camera and get the same two Nikon ads. Beyond that and beyond any formal relationship, reviewers are dependent on the camera makers for access: Equipment loans, early information, interviews and all the rest. How much of the information on the main page here came from camera companies? A reviewer cut off from the sources is pretty much dead in the water.
Really I spose what shifted if that previously you had a more open relationship, you'd have "ambassadors" for certain brand were they were more open about their links to one company. Those people though really always had a bit of a credibility issue so I'd guess companies realised that making things informal was a much better tactic.
Probably an unpopular opinion but I don't fault him too much because tons of jobs are about doing something questionable for the sake of profits. For example...even making a lot of technology like AI, Facebook, fast food (disposable plastic containers ruining the ocean and causing lots of health problems, etc). A lot of what we do makes the world "better" in terms of economic growth but doesn't really make the world better. I am sure a lot of people will disagree with me but I feel like participating in the dishonest review business by being a reviewer is just about the same as any programmer working in Google adtech, because, they're the ones who make this entire system possible.
This Funeral Home has always shown so much compassion and class.....I have attended many Funerals here being in the Health care business with people I have cared for over the years, and was very impressed.....I then chose them for my father 6 yrs ago, and again was so impressed the way they took care of all our needs and made a very sad time so much easier on us.... I needed them again for my Mom, and again, they went above and beyond to accommodate all of our wishes, and gentle they were at handling our beloved Mother. I can`t thank them enough for how kind and caring they all treated us in our time of such grief.....I know they will be around for many many more years for all the compassion they put into their business.......Thank You so much
Thank you so very much for your support and compassion during this difficult time for our family. My Grandmother's wishes were honored with the help of you and your staff. We are very pleased with the way things were handled and explained to us. Very professional and kind.
Thank you very much for the excellent and compassionate services you provided throughout the planning and funeral services for my loving husband.
We received a lot of positive feedback regarding the accommodations both at the funeral home and the church and the police escorted funeral procession to the cemetery. Your assistance in helping to plan every step of the process as well as timing of events was so very helpful to ensure and wonderful and well deserved tribute.
Thank you again to you and your staff for the excellent and dignified services you provided.
Our family wanted to thank you so much for helping us honor my husband. We were deeply touched with the military honors at his service. We truly appreciate all your help and guidance during this difficult time.
I recently read a posting that really speaks to my heart, about how I feel about the loss of my Dear Sweet Sandra. It states "Grief is LOVE with No Place to Go". My grief for my Loving Sandra goes deep within my soul to my most deepest core. My life will never be the same without her. But my life was made so much better, because she was a part of it. I will always cherish and honor the Love and Caring Legacy she left behind.
In 2011 there wasn't much to be found online about Huff. Even today, an internet search will turn up little. Our website's main focus has been on Huff's contributions to the Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939-1940. Websites for the Solano History Exploration Center and Vacaville Heritage Council tend to emphasize Huff's Chief Solano project; others may provide images of some of his historical plaques, but that's about it. I wanted to know more.
Huff apparently did not put much value on the art training he received in Paris. He must have said as much in a January 1925 letter to Benny Bufano because in his response, Bufano wrote "I am very glad that you are thinking and that you realize the inferiority of the schools in Paris. This, of course, is not the case with all of their schools. However, there are very few, if any worth attending."7
Huff was to remain in New York City for about four more years, honing his craft and soliciting commissions. A good deal of his activities during this time can be pieced together, however, a precise chronology is difficult. He resumed working at Arthur Lee's studio but probably not as much as he had prior to going to Paris; he was now a young sculptor pursuing his own projects. Still, Huff apparently continued to take sculpture classes at the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design.2
Howard Huff is new to the state of Michigan and is absolutely thrilled to become a Bronco! Howard started his higher learning career as a student at Waldorf College and soon transferred to Montana State University (MSU). During his time at MSU he was very active in the outdoors, taking part in many mountaineering and rock-climbing adventures that eventually lead him to go abroad. As a first-generation college student, Howard earned a B.S. in Secondary Education with an all-social-sciences teaching endorsement. To cap off his undergraduate career, he was the first person from MSU to complete their student teaching experience at Tain Royal Academy in Scotland. This experience ignited his passion for studying abroad. Howard then earned a Certification in English Language Teaching for Adults from the University of Cambridge and spent the next seven years teaching while traveling globally. He focused much of his teaching experiences in Eastern Asia where he certainly learned more about teaching than he taught.
I just retired in 1955 as a player-coach. I was really still more player than coach. I spent most of my years with the Giant players living around New York and different hotels and I remember my wife and I were in with the players at West 81st at Central Park and Mary and Sam decided to stay with us and that was a mistake Sam will probably remember because I used to call him after every night and I would say, ''Sam ,, what are you doing?'' and Sam, of course, couldn't say anything and I would say Sam come on down and we will learn the four/three defense and pro football. And so, he spent many nights with me in my apartment learning that particular skill. I am sure that Mary would have much rather been seeing the sights of New York City than spending her evenings in the hotel room, but I hope those days helped Sam in his professional career.
