Our review for the Sony A77 has languished in an almost-finished status for months now, but we've finally tied it off. Or at least we have until we hear back from Sony on a significant video AF issue we encountered.
You can check the video page of our Sony A77 review for the details, but the gist of it is that the...
Are you the designated photographer for your family? If so, there's a good chance something is missing from your photo albums: you. Fulfilling the duties of family record-keeper means you spend almost all your time behind the lens, making an occasional appearance only for posed, tripod-mounted shots. The Sony NEX-F3 aims to solve the problem...
Two newly-announced lenses today take the selection of Sony E-mount optics to no less than fifteen, including 13 lenses and two converters. The newest optics are a tiny pancake prime, and a power zoom lens aimed at video use. The latter has actually been shipping for a while in a bundle with the NEX-VG30 camcorder, but will now be available as...
Imaging Resource Founder and Publisher Dave Etchells talked with Mark Weir, Senior Manager of Technology and Marketing for Sony Electronics Inc., at Photokina 2012. Weir discussed the attention-grabbing RX1 full-frame compact camera, as well as...
The Sony Alpha NEX-6 is the Sony I've been waiting for. Not just the camera, but the company. They are back in fighting form, and what's more they seem to be having fun. Sony wasn't sure the NEX-7 would be quite the smash hit it clearly was, even at its higher price point, but that smash hit told them there was a market...
Though Sony already had an impressive full-frame camera, the company completely rethought their flagship SLR with the introduction of the Sony Alpha SLT-A99. Instead of forging new classic design as the A900 did, the Sony A99 builds on the design of the speedy A77, a more modern look with sloping shoulders and...
Sony couldn't introduce two new, exciting interchangeable lens cameras without introducing some serious glass to go with them. The just-announced Sony Alpha A99 seems a perfect match for a bright new super-telephoto fixed lens, while the Sony NEX-6--along with the company's other E-mount cameras--gets a lightweight...
Now in its third iteration, the very popular Sony NEX-5R doesn't get the usual updates people have come to expect. Like the NEX-5N before it, the NEX-5R still has a 16.1-megapixel sensor, a 3-inch tilting LCD, and is about the same shape and size. But there are a few new features that many will find compelling, including a fast hybrid autofocus system with 99 phase-detection AF...
Sony Electronics Inc. has today revealed a new Alpha-mount telephoto zoom lens for cameras with APS-C sized sensors, the Sony DT 55-300mm F4.5-5.6 SAM lens. 35mm-equivalent focal lengths vary from 82.5 to 450mm.
With an affordable pricetag of just US$300, the new lens--model number SAL55300--will ship this September in the US market. Its design features twelve lens elements in...
A tipoff from IR reader 'Home' alerted us to a new firmware update for Sony's recently-announced Alpha SLT-A57 digital camera.
A followup to the A55, the Sony A57 couples the company's Translucent Mirror technology with the same image sensor featured in the NEX-5N compact system camera. While its Continuous Advance Priority AE burst shooting performance is unchanged from its...
Sony's NEX-series of compact system cameras today gains an affordable new model, with the debut of the Sony Alpha NEX-F3, and we've just posted our preview.
The Sony NEX-F3 sits between the entry-level NEX-C3 and the NEX-5N in terms of specification. At the heart is a 16 megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS image sensor, with the same dimensions and pixel count as that in the NEX-5N and...
The unique lineup of Translucent Mirror cameras from Sony just got a little bigger, as the company unveiled a brand new model: the Sony Alpha SLT-A37 (and we've just posted our hands-on preview!)
Closely-related to the existing SLT-A35 model, the Sony A37 has a subtly restyled body that's exactly the same size, but just a little heavier. Behind the Translucent Mirror, which...
Sony Corp. has released updated firmware for its flagship Translucent Mirror camera, the Sony Alpha SLT-A77, as well as its more affordable enthusiast sibling, the SLT-A65.
In both cases, the new firmware aims to improve overall operation and responsiveness of both cameras, as well as adding compensation data for further lens models. The newly-supported lenses for in-camera...
