Sony had a big year in digital cameras last year, especially when you consider that the company launched four cameras -- the RX100, NEX-6, A99 and RX1 -- that could all be considered blockbusters. So what does Mark Weir, senior technology manager at Sony Digital Imaging, have to say about their success? That's what...

Two newly-announced lenses today take the selection of Sony E-mount optics to no less than fifteen, including 13 lenses and two converters.

A recent series of humorous viral videos titled "DSLR Gear No Idea" from Sony Australia are making fun of a certain breed of overly enthusiastic DSLR owners. At the same time, the spots implicitly make a case for buying a Sony NEX series compact system camera -- or at least it appears that's what the company intends by...

Sony couldn't introduce two new, exciting interchangeable lens cameras without introducing some serious glass to go with them.

Filling the gap between its VG-series and FS-series E-mount interchangeable-lens camcorders, Sony Electronics Inc. has introduced a new model that adds a new feature not present in either existing line: support for power zoom lens control from the camera body. (Edit: Thanks to 'M' in the comments for pointing out that the NES-FS700 does have a physical zoom control; it just...
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...
Sony's compact system cameras have proven incredibly popular for the company, but like most competing systems, the NEX series has so far been faced with a relatively limited selection of dedicated glass from which to choose. A generous selection of first- and third-party mount adapters has helped, but many bring limitations in terms of autofocusing and other compatibility issues,...

Sony revamped their consumer compact system camera for 2011, producing a quite competent, attractive digital camera, the NEX-C3. Its body is well constructed, small, and light, but still has a good grip.
