"TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2023 list of innovations changing the way in which we live includes two Sony cameras – Sony a7R V and Sony FX3.
TIME credits Sony Alpha 7R V’s dedicated AI processing unit for it’s game-changing smarter autofocus system. “With resolution as high as the 61-megapixel sensor in Sony’s line of Alpha mirrorless cameras, focusing can be a challenge,” writes Alison Van Houten. “The new Alpha 7R V model features a dedicated AI processing unit, which enables the camera’s autofocus capabilities to process even more data in real time. While most autofocus systems are based on face and eye recognition, the Alpha 7R V is trained to recognize and stably track body movements, even if the subject changes course. It’s not limited to humans, either—it also clocks birds with long necks or intricate head feathers, insects like butterflies and dragonflies, cars and more.” Read more.
TIME also highlights how Sony FX3, makes high-quality filmmaking far more accessible. “The high-end cameras used to film today’s blockbuster movies can cost upwards of $100,000,” writes Jeff Wilser. “But director Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) shot his recently released sci-fi epic, The Creator, primarily on Sony’s FX3. The camera can be purchased at electronics stores for under $4,000, and most viewers won’t see a difference in quality. The FX3 is light and compact, but its real superpower is a dramatically high ISO (the sensitivity of the camera’s ability to capture light), which allowed Edwards to capture difficult night shots without the need for extra lighting. As the director said while promoting the movie, ‘You can basically film in moonlight.’” Read more.

It seems Time had also named Joe Stalin person of the year also with Greta Thunberg with many others. Now I can see all the Sony fanboys getting their stock sticky

Because Time Magazine names those Sony cameras the "best inventions" of 2023 should I run and buy Sony? Give me a break.
I know this is not important to the majority of you here but I am satisfied and very happy with the output I get from my old cameras, Olympus and Nikon. I have what I need but if I had to buy another camera it surely would be from OM Digital Solutions. I get excellent results from Olympus and Panasonic lenses and also excellent results from my Nikon optics so, why change?
Use what you have, no reason to burn more money. Just my opinion.

Time's person of the year reflects the impact the person had on the news, not that they are necessarily good people.

While the reaction from the usual suspects is what I would expect, the reality is that this type of attention to the camera market is good for all manufacturers. Yes, I am a Sony shooter, but the fact that a camera of any brand is mentioned as a "Best Invention" can only help the market, raise the profile of all products, and spur competition. The fact that it is Sony once again has all the Canikon members's feathers ruffled. Too bad they can't see how this also benefits them!

And the market has responded, as both the Sony A7RV and Sony FX3 have been huge sales hits around the world. Just a fact. But Canikon members wont want to hear that.
Cheers and best to you all, whatever brand you use.

As an owner of the A7R V I won't disagree with this rating.
