We Shoot Mirrorless #3 | PPN | June 15th, 2017

On this #3 “We Shoot Mirrorless” podcast episode, Scott and Marco discuss these new products and mirrorless topics: 

• Scott returned from a workshop in the Palouse and shares his landscape experience with his Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II. 

• Olympus contacted Scott and made him an “Olympus Visionary”. Scott shares how his ambassador title can benefit our show and our listeners. 

• Sony continues their lens lineup expansion and introduces two new wide angle E-Mount lenses: The Sony FE 12-24mm F4 G and the Sony FE 16-35mm f2.8 GM lens. We also discuss the overheating warning of the Sony a9 and the firmware update for this and other Sony cameras that came out recently. 

• Ricoh announced the WG-50 rugged compact with 5x zoom. 

• Olympus introduced the TG-5 with improved image quality and less megapixel. 

• And Nikon may ship the Coolpix W300 rugged compact with 4K video this summer. 

• DJI introduced the very small yet powerful Spark quadcopter (a.k.a. drone) for an amazing price of $499! 

• Scott discusses sensor size and depth of field misunderstandings and facts. 

• We have a PPN Photo Podcast Network group at Flickr (click link) that is open to our listeners and photos taken with all mirrorless camera brands. If you want to join just let us know through the "request invitation" button on the group and drop us a quick line there. We'll add you to the group then. And please ask for the invite via the web browser and not via the Flickr App. The invite process via the app has not been working reliably. 

• We have picked our monthly featured photographer and image from our Flickr groups. Our monthly We Shoot Mirrorless feature photo and photographer of the month is: Stuart Paton with his untitled image (click link)
