Great idea Tony for variable shutter button but even simpler would be a firmware update for all existing cameras so you could customise your shutter button when using back button autofocus so that the half press gives you single shot or low 3-5 fps and full press gives you maximum frame rate.
So often I don't realize that I am missing a feature, and then you propose it, and now my camera feels limited without it! I love the idea of the variable frame-rate shutter. I would upgrade for that. I'm still waiting for Sony to incorporate their Android phone tech into my next camera (as you've pushed for), rather than the tech trickling towards the phone division. Keep thinking of new ideas and pushing for them! Thanks as always for the videos!
Curious if the haptic feedback will cause shake and end up softening some shots. It would be a case-by-case basis and I'm sure there is a way to turn it off, for example on a tripod. Handheld there should be enough dampening from the flesh grip. Interesting.
I would assume that the haptic feedback would be triggered just before or just after the shutter cycle so as not to shake the camera during the exposure. But it is a good question.
I love your shutter button throttle idea, and the great thing is it wouldn't even require any new hardware. All cameras already use a shutter button that differentiates between a half-press and a full-press, for those who don't use BBF, so all the manufacturers would have to do is give us a software update that lets us configure the half-press just like we can typically configure the other buttons. Then we could configure the half-press to take a single shot (or use a low-speed continuous setting), while leaving the full-press to do high-speed continuous. Easy-peasy! Why haven't any of them already done this???
A haptic shutter button seems like an awful idea. What photographer wants to add shake to their camera just as they press the shutter button? This seems like a crazy.
Tactility doesn't require active mechanisms to provide feedback. I just want a good shutter button with a tactile bump (or a few stages of tactile bump as pressed deeper down). Linear shutter buttons should be dead.
I would be concerned that the haptic feedback would be for an electronic button which may be unreliable in damp conditions or with wet hands or gloves. As long as it is a real mechanical button then I like the idea.
Yeah, their patent shows a real mechanical button, probably because they need it to be two-stage to separately activate autofocus. However, a flat button like on the old iPhone's would allow it to be totally waterproof.
If it was a capacitive sensor I agree that could be unreliable. But it could also be a MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) force sensor. That should still be reliable in damp conditions and with gloves - it would measure force but the button would have almost zero travel.
I love the idea of throttled shutter button but also somehow incorporate the half-shutter pre-capture mode. BTW Tony, I wish you would change your intro from the "breaking news" and the cheesy glasses pull. If everything is "breaking news" then it is all just news. Thanks for listening.
The new cameras should be head-mounted, have a 360-degree lens and record 16k video at 1200 frames per second, so that the photographer does not have to worry about composition and focus, but can choose a composition in post-processing that it also likes to extract 132 megapixel stills from 16k videos.
Great video jam-packed with interesting news. I absolutely love your idea of having the trigger act as a gas pedal! That is such a great idea that it makes you wonder why it has not been done yet. Thank you for making this video.
Yep. But why tell the full story, when you can omit vital facts, and skew the narrative to your liking. Tony has deemed m43 dead for years, and as it refused to die ;) now he's pivoting to "now it's saved!!!". Had PDAF in my EM1II in 2017... last time I checked it was m43.
I would love a 3 or 4 position ring around the shutter button, 1st position single shot , 2nd position 3 shot, 3rd position slower unlimited burst, 4th position highest or variable high speed burst. I think that would be intuitive. Also allow 2nd position to be set up as bracketed for exposure (-), (=), (+) for HDR shooting or focus/dof stacking.
haptic feedback in lieu of a beep is a great idea. the idea of a analog shutter throttle is also a good idea, but i don't think it's doable on the shutter button - maybe low and high stages, but not variable. on canons, can you make the lens control ring adjust the shutter speed? remember the annoying slider on the canon R? slap one on a long zoom where your off-hand thumb could actuate it - that could be a solution.
Haptic shutter would be great... just a little vibe from every flick of the shutter. I intentionally keep the beep on so i know when I get a shot. Also space photography!!!! Hell yeah!!!
I usually back button focus so even just touch to meter, half press low frame rate, full press high frame rate as a camera option would be good enough. Touch to meter was a thing… now you could make the button capacitive sense but my old 80s minolta had metal contacts that sensed when you connected them with your skin to do that and was a single press button for simplicity.
Hey Tony, just wanted to say that you and your videos have been helping me out allot. Just picked up my first camera and knew a little bit about photography from high school photography class.........20 YEARS AGO LOL. The camera i picked out was mainly because of you're reviews on it. Looking forward to grabbing your book in the near future. Again, thank you
The Sony Star Sphere satellite isn't launching until the spring. The signup is for s pre-registration. It's probably on a rideshare with a bunch of other cubesats, so the exact launch date will be hard to pin down. I'm surprised they are able to do it. I worked on a cubesat project and there are very strict regulations in the US for satellites that do any kind of imaging. You need to register for a license with NOAA and specify what focal lengths and angles you will be capable of shooting. They are less concerned with you photographing the Earth and more concerned with you capturing other things orbiting the Earth, which may have classified orbits. Even though this is in partnership with JAXA, expect some restrictions on when and where you can shoot.
Unfortunately at the moment, the cost of propellant to maneuver a satellite for creativity just isn’t there yet. However, I would imagine that SpaceX will start a new industry refurbishing and refueling them on demand. In other words, a orbiting gas station and repair shop for satellites including the Hubble Space Telescope.
Maybe a rocker switch could work for a variable shutter release. Press it down to mid position for 1-3 FPS and all the way down to max out. Regarding Panasonic, I can see them challenging Sony with their version of an A7(S) Mark 3 but the full-frame market is already very crowded. I shoot the G9 for wildlife and love the light-weight and portability and would hate to see Lumix give up this very interesting niche. I would gladly pay two-grand for a G9 with phase detect autofocus. It's one of the most comfortable cameras I've ever held.
The haptic shutter button will be a boon to future camera bodies that don't have a physical shutter button, removing the physical button will in a small localized area improve that location for waterproofness. My concern is how much of a battery drain will it be? I know it won't be massive, but camera batteries don't last that long as it is and do we need something else to drain the battery?
Hmmm... Wouldn't haptic feedback impact IBIS performance? Or would they do the haptic feedback just before the actual shutter release? But then what's the use especially if you're in AF-C? With regards to the half shutter press thing, it sounds like a cool and intuitive thing to do, but then it would work probably only if you assign focus to the back button otherwise you'd have interference between the two functionalities if you are acquiring focus and determining the burst speed with a half pressed shutter release.
@@kyyuhl I thought about it but then how many stops of vibration compensation do they have to add? And how many stops of image stabilization do you need to counter it? Is it even feasible?
@@kaminobatto i don’t think it would be much more than what already exists. those motors aren’t that strong, i can barely feel the one in my iPhone while typing this comment. Unlikely for that force to travel from the shutter button to the sensor that easily. Unless they plan on putting it in across the entire camera body.
@@kyyuhl I guess we'll know for sure if they end up trying to implement it. I think it still have to be extremely subtle for this to work out without major complications.
In regards to the Japan price raises, electronics in general are way more expensive here in Japan compared to the rest of the world. A 400 or 500 usd tv could cost over 1000usd in Japan. For cameras, especially Sony's, they'll a lot of the time even take out English from the system menu and only have Japanese
somehow develop a dual shutter button setup. one button is single shot, the other is variable gas pedal high speed button. buttin within a button? with haptic feedback? and Eye control AF in the R3...
I already get a lower number of shots or higher number based on how quickly I tap or feather the shutter button on my R7and my A7iv. I can get for 4-7 shots, 10 to 20, or the full + rate. I'm not sure I would want the shutter button deciding independently what the burst rate was. I just like controlling it with finger pressure and amount of time on the shutter.
I love the throttle shutter idea, but I'm not getting excited about the haptic feedback. It's bad enough having to cope with shutter shock on mirrorless in the 1/100 range (usually suggested solution - a not very good one: use electronic shutter and therefore introduce rolling shutter on slow shutter pan shots such as passing trains or other vehicles) without introducing another potential vibration problem.
When I shoot my R5 electronically, I can very slightly feel a vibration from the body. I don't know if that's truly haptic feedback or if it's the sensor's IBIS invoking. I haven't done it without the IBIS on.
One reason to raise prices in Japan might be the desire to avoid a difference in 11:22 prices large enough to make it attractive to go to Japan/ the East to buy cameras that you then resell locally in the US and Europe; gray market.
Great video. I would love the haptic feedback shutter button, but short of buying a new camera which has the button, I would like the option of an acoustic feedback (very low volume) for the electronic shutter on my R5.
Is a haptic shutter necessary for a silent button that you can feel? I'd prefer a real button, if possible. I do really dig the idea of a shutter throttle, though. Not to mention...composing photos from space would, of course, be sick af.
If cameras are getting motorized physical controls, I want motorized knobs, rings and dials. My stereo amplifier has a motorized volume knob, that turns when the the volume is adjusted by remote control. The physical device should not have rotational symmetry, and the camera firmware should be able to set it to a particular position, not just turn it clockwise or anticlockwise. Could be the same for focus rings, exposure compensation dials, maybe dials customizable use on for shutter speed, aperture, anything else. Could be on toggle switches too. Would allow the best of both worlds between automatic & by-wire control, and physical control. You'd be able to tell the current state of a setting just by feeling the control, and move it to wherever you want it.
Not all satellites fly around the earth. A lot of them are in what’s called geosynchronous orbit. They are placed at a certain distance from earth where they orbit at the same speed as the earths rotation. That’s how satellite internet and tv work to provide a constant signal. My guess as to how those companies take photos is probably with certain satellites within their allocated geosynchronous space (measured with degrees °) It would make more sense that they’re just waiting in line for other customers photos to be taken and transmitted to earth.
Right on the button....buttons or a dial going from video to slow mo stills and am I being greedy fast action stills .The ones u have to get to fast canons custom fv modes great idea settings set with all manual settings EASY to change or leave what settings u want and some auto .For action photography this fv is brilliant flexable !
Panasonic didn't confirm they will be adding PDAF to their MFT cameras, they said they "will consider installing PDAF depending on the characteristics of the model" so it seems that some cameras might get it and others may not. I also don't think they will completely move to Full Frame only and abandon MFT and still will focus on both with Full Frame taking the front seat. MFT is still better for rolling shutter, higher FPS, smaller lenses, especially for wildlife with smaller lenses like the Panasonic 100-400mm and the 2x crop benefit for that. There isn't a full frame equivalent 200-800mm lens and if there was it would be large and expensive compared to the Panasonic lens. I have read quite a few of comments from people who still want a smaller MFT body camera like an updated Panasonic GX8/GX9 and there are people still wanting a G9II so the market is still there even if it might seem to be a bit more niche these days.
I hope you’re wrong and Panasonic keeps working on both M4/3 and Full Frame. It would be sad to see M4/3 start being phased out because OM needs competing their segment to thrive too. When competition within a segment dissipates things don’t move forward as quickly. M4/3 is a wonderful sensor to keep around IMHO
Japanese have learnt from Italians (I'm kidding obviously). Japanese are still printing their own currency so they can purposely devalue their currency to help exports. It's a small price to pay (in Japan) to keep exports flying out of the country at the speed of light. This technique was often used when Italy used to print its own currency - not anymore, sadly. When we did though, we experienced an economic boom!
It's funny, I am quite new to photography, but as an engineer I have always wondered why the frame rate could not be altered on the fly. But lets face it, when do the camera companies ever really give us what we want. Surely all mid to top end cameras should have an LCD screen at least as good as our phones? They should all have internal storage? Be able to transfer images as quickly as our phones? Waterproof? Oh and detect and delete blurred images? Turn into a 4x4 .............................too much?
Tony, it is easy to hate you sometimes. Why? I have an EOS-R, I have been very happy with it. Suddenly, it does not have a variable shutter button and I suddenly NEED that button! ;-) Why do you do this to me? Can I have my R retrofitted with this feature? I hold you responsible for doing this to me. At least Chelsea isn't mean like you and shows me things I don't have, don't know, but NEED now. ;-) Thanks for sharing anyway.
tony makes up rubbish - purely for y/tube views . I doubt any other camera makers will use - haptic shutter buttons as their cameras very clearly tell us when they are in focus or not . We can turn off the audio focus confirmation and simply use the lcd screen .
Thanks for another good vid. No thanks on the haptic feedback from my POV. How much of a batter drain? Mechanical things fail more frequently than electronic. Longer batter life, lighter weight, faster yet same or less heat generated via innovations, more stops in stabilization, mo' 'n better "R" glass, glass, glass -- is better place to spend the investment bucks. A layman's POV and just IMHO.
I guess the satellite service is mostly aimed at photographing places you can't reach, or places you absolutely don't want to go. For example Russia or something.
I wonder if the Sony satellite has launched but hasn’t hit its operating orbit yet? Maybe it’s technically up there but could take a month or several before it’s good to go. Hope so, it sounds cool.
I found information for you regarding Star Sphere 専用のシミュレータを通じて、地上から遠隔操作することが可能で、宇宙空間から撮影された静止画や動画を取得可能。EYEによる撮影体験は、一般向けサービスとして2023年春頃に展開を予定している Through a dedicated simulator, it is possible to remotely operate from the ground, and it is possible to acquire still images and videos taken from outer space. The EYE shooting experience is scheduled to be rolled out as a general service around spring 2023. so still not available for the public.
New cameras should have AI capabilities. For example, the lens would be there only for the artificial intelligence to understand what you want to photograph, and then the powerful super computer in the camera, connected to the chip in your body via bluetooth 10 connection, would produce a photo that would be admired by all the mechanical organisms in the tv series Galactica!
Haptic feedback button? Great … something to create vibration. 🤦🏻♂️ something else to fail. Complexity is a liability. SKYFI looks awkward, yet very useful to cartographers. The problem is that constant satellite readjustments require stressing flywheels to torque the sats into specific orientations. The motors moving the flywheels and independent camera fine adjustments are heavily used and likely require some sort of reduction in lifetimes or super costly maintenance. They also must be in low Earth orbit, making them vulnerable to thermal expansions of the atmosphere as the solar cycle approaches its periodic maximum.
So Nikon will establish a re-sellers "grey market" for new cameras in Japan. What next, waiting list? Preferred customers that need to have a buying history? (think luxury watches).
It has been used for decades - the very reason Digital sensors CCD came about in the first place . I have NO idea as to why tony would - after decades of Space Staion use - suddenly makes such a claim ?? .
It’s all about the economy and the need. Is a camera your working tool for your business or are we talking about photography a hobby? World economies are seeing inflation because of the U.S. Dollar falling in value. Japan had to increase camera prices because they own much of the U.S. Debt. Camera companies have kept U.S. prices level cutting profits with the effect of moving merchandise. However, this will slowdown as the recession worsens into 2023.
Please convey to canon and other camera producers too: I want them to change the location of the battery pack, or change the location of the, er what do you call it, the door to the battery housing, which is usually at the bottom, to one corner. Reason for the need of the critical change: when I'm happily shooting away at my subjects, then oh oh my battery is gone, I need to take it out and replace it with my backup battery, but oh oh, in order to do so, I need to first unmount my camera from the tripod, but oh oh, if I do so I'd be disturbing where and how I set the location and angle of my camera, and I want it to be static at the same spot and angle throughout the shoot 🤔
Um - so simply use a thing called a - Battery Grip . Then you can go from 1 battery to 3 batteries in many cameras . Pretty simple , and the very reason they were invented in the first place . ...

Depending on shutter speed, wouldn’t that produce shake for your photos if haptic feedback is added?
I use the sound on the Canon R6II while using the electronic shutter. I wish they had a variety of sounds to choose from.
I've always wanted my camera to play the ninth symphony when I press the button, because good music inspires me to take good photos.
PDAF has been available on Olympus/OM Systems for years !!!!!

Will a vibration motor create motion blurriness on the photo? Or it's only engaged at very high shutter speeds
Sir, the haptic feedback would blur your image!

Thats an great idea Tony. Pressing the shutter half way slower burst, press it all the way get fastest burst, yes please! 👍
What I really need is for Canon to provide overexposure blinkies in live view instead of having to go into playback.
If OM puts PDF in its lower priced OM-10 and PEN that would be a plus.
I want my shutter to make the same sound Tony's glasses make when taking them off as he says " breaking news " 😁😀

I also don't think they will completely move to Full Frame only and abandon MFT and still will focus on both with Full Frame taking the front seat. MFT is still better for rolling shutter, higher FPS, smaller lenses, especially for wildlife with smaller lenses like the Panasonic 100-400mm and the 2x crop benefit for that. There isn't a full frame equivalent 200-800mm lens and if there was it would be large and expensive compared to the Panasonic lens.
I have read quite a few of comments from people who still want a smaller MFT body camera like an updated Panasonic GX8/GX9 and there are people still wanting a G9II so the market is still there even if it might seem to be a bit more niche these days.
Just have an option to display the shot count on the screen/evf
I hope you’re wrong and Panasonic keeps working on both M4/3 and Full Frame. It would be sad to see M4/3 start being phased out because OM needs competing their segment to thrive too. When competition within a segment dissipates things don’t move forward as quickly. M4/3 is a wonderful sensor to keep around IMHO
I hope Sky Sphere is real. I’ll totally use that service to take space pics. 🚀📷
why full frame. What's wrong with a mediam format or a larger with a proper lense.
Japanese have learnt from Italians (I'm kidding obviously). Japanese are still printing their own currency so they can purposely devalue their currency to help exports. It's a small price to pay (in Japan) to keep exports flying out of the country at the speed of light. This technique was often used when Italy used to print its own currency - not anymore, sadly. When we did though, we experienced an economic boom!
It's funny, I am quite new to photography, but as an engineer I have always wondered why the frame rate could not be altered on the fly. But lets face it, when do the camera companies ever really give us what we want. Surely all mid to top end cameras should have an LCD screen at least as good as our phones? They should all have internal storage? Be able to transfer images as quickly as our phones? Waterproof? Oh and detect and delete blurred images? Turn into a 4x4 .............................too much?
Tony, it is easy to hate you sometimes. Why? I have an EOS-R, I have been very happy with it. Suddenly, it does not have a variable shutter button and I suddenly NEED that button! ;-) Why do you do this to me? Can I have my R retrofitted with this feature? I hold you responsible for doing this to me. At least Chelsea isn't mean like you and shows me things I don't have, don't know, but NEED now. ;-) Thanks for sharing anyway.
tony makes up rubbish - purely for y/tube views . I doubt any other camera makers will use - haptic shutter buttons as their cameras very clearly tell us when they are in focus or not . We can turn off the audio focus confirmation and simply use the lcd screen .
I was able to get signed up as a ‘crew member’ a few weeks ago. Really looking forward to doing it, but a little afraid of the price 😅
why don't we have internal memory in cameras like in smartphones?
I want Sonys Star Sphere to be real! I want to see what flat earthers say when we can do real-time space pics.
I would totally buy access on the sony satellite…provided its “affordable” (~200-300 USD/GBP)
throttle button Cant believe someone one in Asia didnt come up with this Wait they get our ideas and make them work cheaper. AKA microwave ovens
Confirmed price increase in Thailand.
You missed something In that opening edit you had a Light from space on your head then it was gone
Wow. Sony Sphere sounds very interesting if it worked!!
Haptic Shutter Release seems a good idea...
Thanks for another good vid.
No thanks on the haptic feedback from my POV. How much of a batter drain? Mechanical things fail more frequently than electronic.
Longer batter life, lighter weight, faster yet same or less heat generated via innovations, more stops in stabilization, mo' 'n better "R" glass, glass, glass -- is better place to spend the investment bucks.
A layman's POV and just IMHO.
🔥🔥 great ❣️
I like the idea of a haptic shutter button.
Welcome to the new world of Canon: shutter button shock!
haptic is good, but with a gas pedal effect is better.
I guess the satellite service is mostly aimed at photographing places you can't reach, or places you absolutely don't want to go. For example Russia or something.
if you capture the curve of the Earth than you're dealing mostly with a fish-eye lens and not a 130mm... I'll be waiting for that one.
I have given up on DSLR .. asking for so much
I think Panasonic will Focus on both Platforms, MFT and FF
I wonder if the Sony satellite has launched but hasn’t hit its operating orbit yet? Maybe it’s technically up there but could take a month or several before it’s good to go. Hope so, it sounds cool.
I found information for you regarding Star Sphere
専用のシミュレータを通じて、地上から遠隔操作することが可能で、宇宙空間から撮影された静止画や動画を取得可能。EYEによる撮影体験は、一般向けサービスとして2023年春頃に展開を予定している
Through a dedicated simulator, it is possible to remotely operate from the ground, and it is possible to acquire still images and videos taken from outer space. The EYE shooting experience is scheduled to be rolled out as a general service around spring 2023.
so still not available for the public.
Great idea
Thanks....
Tony, so far you're showing CGI... I truly hope there's some 'real space' in these new services as CGI won't cut it.
New cameras should have AI capabilities. For example, the lens would be there only for the artificial intelligence to understand what you want to photograph, and then the powerful super computer in the camera, connected to the chip in your body via bluetooth 10 connection, would produce a photo that would be admired by all the mechanical organisms in the tv series Galactica!
pass the boof sir
12:00 Tony's tortured soul briefly graced us. Then, just as quick as it had arrived, it left again.
Thanks for thinking I have a soul!
@@TonyAndChelsea Technically no because he said it left.
That camera is not in space. Can you tell the difference between CGI and reality? Honest question
This seems like a solution to a non-existant problem?
It's ALL for More y/tube $ .. well said .
All the more incentive to switch to lumix s5ii
The flat earthers still won't believe what they see with that Sony camera.
Sony Star Sphere is not alliable in Canada. Disappointing.
Haptic feedback button? Great …
something to create vibration. 🤦🏻♂️
something else to fail. Complexity is a liability.
SKYFI looks awkward, yet very useful to cartographers.
The problem is that constant satellite readjustments require stressing flywheels to torque the sats into specific orientations. The motors moving the flywheels and independent camera fine adjustments are heavily used and likely require some sort of reduction in lifetimes or super costly maintenance.
They also must be in low Earth orbit, making them vulnerable to thermal expansions of the atmosphere as the solar cycle approaches its periodic maximum.
Wow flat earthers are going to love this
Not bad but nikon is been in space since decade
Yes exactly . Well said .
So Nikon will establish a re-sellers "grey market" for new cameras in Japan. What next, waiting list? Preferred customers that need to have a buying history? (think luxury watches).
Poor flat-earthers. It'll be fun to hear their explanations for the space photography. 😁
It has been used for decades - the very reason Digital sensors CCD came about in the first place . I have NO idea as to why tony would - after decades of Space Staion use - suddenly makes such a claim ?? .
It’s all about the economy and the need. Is a camera your working tool for your business or are we talking about photography a hobby? World economies are seeing inflation because of the U.S. Dollar falling in value. Japan had to increase camera prices because they own much of the U.S. Debt. Camera companies have kept U.S. prices level cutting profits with the effect of moving merchandise. However, this will slowdown as the recession worsens into 2023.
Take nice pics from earth and your fam
When they fix their battery, call me
Give me a G7 with a better AF I 'll shoot with one
skyfi, aka, spyfi or stalkerfi
Please convey to canon and other camera producers too: I want them to change the location of the battery pack, or change the location of the, er what do you call it, the door to the battery housing, which is usually at the bottom, to one corner. Reason for the need of the critical change: when I'm happily shooting away at my subjects, then oh oh my battery is gone, I need to take it out and replace it with my backup battery, but oh oh, in order to do so, I need to first unmount my camera from the tripod, but oh oh, if I do so I'd be disturbing where and how I set the location and angle of my camera, and I want it to be static at the same spot and angle throughout the shoot 🤔
Um - so simply use a thing called a - Battery Grip . Then you can go from 1 battery to 3 batteries in many cameras . Pretty simple , and the very reason they were invented in the first place . ...
