r/sony

I am eyeing a lightweight full-frame camera that will allow me to change lenses while remaining relatively light and easy to carry all-day around Paris or other cities.

I was more or less settled on Sony 7C II, but then I went down the colour science rabbit hole and read how problematic out-of-the-box JPEGs of Sony can be. For me, this is really critical - I do not like doing photo editing and I want to enjoy shooting, not playing with RAW files. Thus, it is really essential for me to make sure that the photos are looking good directly out of my memory card, without need to improve or edit them.

When going over comparisons with Nikon or Fujfilm, I indeed noticed that the Sony photos seemed quite “off” - especially green looked really weird. But of course the author could have been biased, too.

Thus, before committing to Sony camera for many years, I wanted to ask about your experience - is it really an Issue? Can it be corrected with proper settings in the camera? Or, for that seamless of experience of getting good JPEGs without editing photos for hours on my PC I should really look more towards Fujifilm/Nikon?

I really like how 7C II looks and feels (not too mention its specs) - it’s just this fear that it might not suit my needs that is holding me back. Thanks!

Hey y'all I have a sony STR-DE197 stereo receiver and I have been dealing with the left speaker on Speakers A going dead, both speakers on speakers B appear to work fine, when I turn up the volume, the dead speaker appears to come alive, and sometimes that speaker will cut in and out at low volume but performs well at a higher volume, what could be going on inside my receiver?

Hello!

After numerous of times trying to transfer footage out of my old Sony DCR-TRV250 camera, I have been unsuccessful, although every single video and tutorial suggest otherwise.

Cable chain I used:
Firewire 9pin to 4pin - Apple Firewire adapter - USB-C. The exact same chain which I've seen in multiple videos people successfully connect the camera without any issues. (It also shows the chain in system report device list).

1. Trying to connect with my MacBook M4 Pro - unsuccessful (even after changing the legacy settings and before updating to Tahoe.

2. Used a 2020 Mac Mini - unsuccessful, even installed Mojave to bypass any other issues as Firewire and DV cameras are supposed to work better with older macOS versions.

3. Trying with an older Windows Dell XPS, still unsuccessful.

4. Found an old 2012 Macbook Pro with Firewire port to simplify the chain. Still didn't work.

In the cameras' settings I have tried every single combination possible. First trying the suggested settings that I found in the manual and other tutorials on the internet.

I have also tried 2 different Firewire cables (9pin to 4pin). With one of the cables the camera shows DV in, the other doesn't.

(none of the times the camera showed up in the system device manager.)

Looking for help to get it working. All the best!

Anyone know how to reach Sony to help with recovering a compromised account if I have the original console and the email I used to create that account with? I can’t do it via live chatbot cuz my region is blocked

I am designing a custom phone using my sony xperia 5 iv's internals and a custom camera set so i basically have a full swapable lens camera with the sensor performance of a professional camera with the benefits of a smart phone (data connectivity and easy cloud storage in the go) am planning on getting an E-Waste sony a7 or similar and making custom drivers for its sensor that will work with the phone I'm mostly considering the sony a7 since its got a good full frame sensor with similar architecture to the phones current sensor but and is old enough that there is likely a lot of them sitting around gathering dust

if anyone has documentation on the sensor and other things that would help with making the drivers it would be really appreciated

also, if anyone has an e-waste camera lying around i may be willing to take it of your hands depending on the logistics thanks
