What this article totally misses is that this is Sony's flagship offering not for all professional photographers, but specifically for professional SPORTS photographers.

Sports photographers need super fast continuous shooting so you can get 20 shots of that epic catch in one shutter press and choose the best one. Likewise 1/32,000th of a sec shutter speed is twice as fast as most cameras' 1/8,000th of a sec fastest shutter speed, which helps to freeze quick motion.

The high number of AF points is a sports feature too - one area that mirrorless still significantly lags traditional DSLRs is that their AF systems are not as fast as the type used in DSLRs, which have dedicated AF sensors (mirrorless does AF off the imaging sensor), so a ton of AF points is one way mirrorless tries to narrow the AF gap.

Great to see a hiring startup Lever lead by example and take the diversity of their own hiring so seriously. Love this candid format!

Chris from Realm here - we're definitely working toward 1.0 for React Native as well, but it won't be part of this release :).

What's meant by a reactive database vs a non-reactive one?

Don't usually associate iOS with fragmentation, but makes sense when it comes to screen sizes I guess - esp w the iPad pro now

Also, where are they spending this much on marketing, they've got almost no marketing presence imo?

Arg paywall! Clicking through from this link goes under it to full story: http://www.techmeme.com/151104/p16#a151104p16

They would get so much pushback for artificially raising prices, with the increased demand they can claim innocence/market forces - this seems like the most logical explanation to me, also don't think they'd want to collude with a potential competitor for profit-sharing that seems a little conspiracy theorist...

Can you link to them? Would love to check them out

Worked fine for me on mobile (chrome on iOS)... What browser are you using?
