Photography topics in the headlines this week: Sony’s A7 III, a review of the Google Clips, the dog photographer, and conceptual images in Iceland. Read on for more of the Very Important Photography Topics currently on our minds at 500px.
1. Sony’s new A7 III is redefining basic
Sony’s new version of its “basic full-frame” camera came with a series of great new features, including a backlit 24.2 MP sensor, a maximum ISO of 204800, and 5-axis optical image stabilization. Despite its lower pricing for a full frame Sony mirrorless, the A7 III has impressive features for its category. As camera reviewer Kai says, Sony just “redefined basic”. Watch the full review below.
2. Google Clips may need an update
Google’s AI-powered camera created the innovative concept of a hands-free automatic point-and-shoot. While it does a good job of finding images that happen right in front of it, the lack of pan, tilt or zoom limits its framing capabilities, which ultimately leads to fewer photos taken. Maybe an updated version addressing these issues could get this camera closer to its proposed perfect candid seeker.

Anya Anti is known for her dreamy conceptual photographs. For this particular shot, Anti got inspired by the internet-famous crashed DC-3 plane during her trip to Iceland. Check out her creative process on the video below, and see more of her work on her 500px profile.
