Adobe doesn’t care what you think and quits the standalone version while launching the new Lightroom CC

By now you will have learned via all possible photo websites that Adobe launched the new Lightroom CC. The real disaster news is that there will be no standalone version of this. Now its “cloud” or nothing. Imaging Resource brought it straight to the point: “It’s time to stop living under the illusion Adobe cares what you think”

time to seriously check out alternatives like Macphun and Capture One. I know they often do not the same thing as Adobe. But Macphun for example already promised that they are working on a Lightroom alternative.

P.S.: Lightroom CC vs Lightroom Classic CC explained on CameraJabber

Specs of the new Sony 10 Megapixel Four Thirds sensor (for surveillance)

This isn’t a sensor made for MFT cameras. But it is still interestiong to see what kind of new tech Sony is implementing on this new Four Thirds sensor made for surveillance cameras:

“The “IMX294CJK” is the first in-house image sensor for security cameras to adopt the Type 4/3 format, and realizes output of the number of pixels needed for 4K at 120 frame/s (in ADC 10-bit output mode). In addition, use of a large-size pixel achieves SNR1s of 0.14 lx*1, and use of a Quad Bayer pixel structure (see Figure 1) realizes an HDR (High Dynamic Range) function with no time difference, enabling video imag-ing with a wide dynamic range”
