frame-it Posted October 6, 2018 Share #41 Posted October 6, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) who knows...but if one has LR on mac or PC, the DNG will have the base adjustments...and those would load in C1 as well. personally i dont care about the built in LR...but to each his own Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Hi frame-it, Take a look here First digital Zeiss. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Exodies Posted October 6, 2018 Share #42 Posted October 6, 2018 Tie-in is a bit of a stretch. Presumably the camera produces DNGs which can be processed on a computer in the developer of your choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrycym Posted October 6, 2018 Share #43 Posted October 6, 2018 Zeiss must have colaborated with Adobe to port LR to the camera firmware and they must have paid a licence fee. This is what I was referring too Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldwino Posted December 21, 2018 Share #45 Posted December 21, 2018 Well, at least we know that it really exists in real life. Very curious about it. Wonder what the price will be... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted December 25, 2018 Share #46 Posted December 25, 2018 It looks like an interesting, innovative camera and I'm glad to see technology taking new directions that inevitably lead to new options for photographers, which can only be a good thing. That said, I'm extremely surprised that Zeiss has put the big, red, 'reading data' LED on the front of the camera; it just seems counter-intuitive to me and will simply draw attention to the camera and photographer. Since Lightroom CC comes pre-installed does this mean that there will be a monthly subscription payable to Adobe on top? Not a camera for me at this stage.

LocalHero1953 Posted December 26, 2018 Share #47 Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes, I agree this is a real innovation - a camera designed for direct linking to the internet. Time will tell if this is the best design or if it actually works as well it is intended, but I'm glad to see someone trying. Is that light a data reading light or a focus assist beam? (which I normally turn off) Edited December 26, 2018 by LocalHero1953 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to you I never have one on (I think only my SL has one anyway) so that possibility had completely passed me by. I also note a conventional data reading light on the reverse side too so it must be a focus assist. Apologies to all for my inadvertent misdirection.

Archiver Posted December 28, 2018 Share #49 Posted December 28, 2018 Yeah, that's a focus assist beam. 1.45 in the Zeiss video with Sabrina Weniger shows it in action. This camera is really intriguing, and represents a movement away from traditional cameras and into a market where smartphone usage is prime. With Lightroom CC built in, a huge harddrive and WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities, it will be very useful for people who want to shoot, edit and upload on the run, like travelers or journalists. The likely price will make it difficult for many journalists, though. There's no way this will be cheaper than a Leica Q. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmahto Posted December 28, 2018 Share #50 Posted December 28, 2018 Recently I have been using LR mobile app. My main use is to process iPhone pics and sync them to my desktop LR. I have grown to like the experience. Specially if the volume is less. You can do local processing etc just by finger gestures on smartphone. It also gets synced to LR desktop in the background via cloud. No extra effort needed. Now if the same experience is available in camera itself (like in the case of Zeiss camera) then I will certainly welcome it. Only issue for me is the transient nature and relatively short obsolescence period of anything internet. I change smartphone and upgrade apps every three to four years. Not sure I would like to treat my camera that way. Specially a premium camera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted December 28, 2018 Share #51 Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) I'm curious about Zeiss's intended market for this camera. A high quality internet-connected camera would appeal to those who are already familiar and comfortable with the idea of smartphone photography: those who take it and post it, but want something better than a smartphone lens and sensor can provide. It would also appeal to photojournalists: those who need speed of distribution of professional quality images from a professionally sorted body. The first group, though, would be startled by the size of the Zeiss compared to a smartphone; after all you can already use LR CC on a smartphone screen. The second group might be more accepting, but I still wonder whether they need the bulk of a full-frame body for fast response photojournalism. Leica appeared to attack the same markets with the T: a camera with a smartphone-like interface, and, with an APS-C format sensor, not massively bigger in the body than a large phone, and in similar styling. Being of its older generation, however, interconnectivity was poor, and is not much better with the Fotos app. If a TL3 has far faster and more seamless internet integration, the two will be interesting head-to-head competitors for similar markets. If there is big demand for such connectivity (and I suspect there will be), it will also be interesting to see how Sony, Fuji and Panasonic respond (Canon and Nikon are only just beginning to move away from traditional SLR dinosaurs, so are likely to be behind the curve for a while). I'm sure they already have similar products and technology not far from launch. Edited December 28, 2018 by LocalHero1953 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are photographing for the Internet I doubt whether anything beyond an iPhone or Huawei, + Snapseed will gain much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instant (or close to instant) sharing is for internet, however the same shot can be processed later in desktop for large prints. Right now I take two sets of pictures. One from phone and other from serious camera. If LR app is integrated with serious camera then there is no need for phone pic. Serious camera can do double duty. At least that is my thought. But then again serious camera should have longer lifespan which is not possible if it relies on such software integration. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
verwackelt Posted January 3, 2019 Share #54 Posted January 3, 2019 Very interesting camera. Unfortunately fixed lens. So not my first camera, but may be my second camera if the price will not be high like a first camera 😉 But what i am curious about is the display. Can it be calibrated? If not, i won´t edit the RAWs in LR on it but do it on my EIZO as usual. There are many things to know before i would go in a shop to try this camera by own hands. Finally i wait what all the early adopter will report in their blogs... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Richardson Posted February 28, 2019 Share #57 Posted February 28, 2019 He is basically saying how cool it is. And how it is big, but the grip should be good, and how it has USB-C but not card slot etc. Nothing new as far as I could understand. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted March 1, 2019 Share #59 Posted March 1, 2019 Interesting - but still waiting to see how it plays Lightroom, and how quick internet upload speeds are. As a camera, I think I would miss an exposure compensation dial. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing that the experience is same as LR mobile on phone. I like what I can do with phone pics (editing and uploading to my desktop LR). Very smooth workflow. My only issue is how soon the hardware (camera) is going to be obsolete with respect to the software that runs on it. Will you be able to sell in second hand market if LR is no longer compatible with camera in 5 years? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
