I’m using my RX10 to report. This camera is my big Sony dilemma. It’s actually all I really need for 95% of my daily work. Well, here we are reporting from photokina 2014, the major trade fair in Cologne. I’m only here for the day and a brief stop in tomorrow morning en route . . . → Read More: Sony’s BIG system future at photokina Share this: 2 comments - (Comments are closed)  Cameras (DSLR), DK's ramblings, Events, Lenses - Alpha Mount, News, NEX System, Sony Digital Cameras  Alpha, FE, launches, lens, photokina, roadmap, Sony, system Today, Sony confirmed a rumour – no doubt started as a result of pre-production tester leaks – that the A7S would have a completely silent all-electronic shutter mode. This is not the same as the Electronic First Curtain shutter found on the A7, A99, A77, A6000 and so on but conspicuously absent on the A7R. . . . → Read More: Sony confirm silent mode in A7S Share this: One comment - (Comments are closed) Cameras (DSLR), DK's ramblings, News, NEX System, Sony Digital Csmeras A77 II, A7S, Alpha 77 MkII, Alpha 7S, camera, RX100 III, RX100 MkIII, shutter, silent, Sony 
I guess it’s time to publish another field test review of the Alpha 7R despite rarely having used the camera in anger, or in any state other than anger. It arrived in late November and caught me at a time when I was not going anywhere or doing anything, nothing was happening and the weather . . . → Read More: Sony Alpha 7R – the Swiss Army Knife camera Share this: 9 comments - (Comments are closed) DK's ramblings, Equipment Reviews, NEX System A7r, Alpha, camera, field test, full frame, mirrorless, report, review, Sony 
The Sony E-mount (not FE) 10-18mm f/5 OSS lens can be used effectively on full frame for creative work and within limits for technically more demanding shots.

Sony said, as they took over the Konica Minolta camera division in 2006, that the day of mechanical controls and switches was gone. Economies of production and efficiencies of design meant that from now on, cameras would be controlled by buttons and menus. Anyone who remembers the original Alphas, the 7000 and 5000 from the . . . → Read More: Nikon’s DF finally recaptures the spirit of Dynax 7D Share this: Comments are closed Cameras (DSLR), DK's ramblings, News Alpha 7D, control, design, DF, DSLR, Dynax 7D, ergonomics, interface, Konica Minolta, Maxxum 7D, mechanical, Nikon DF, retro 
Although some of my information back in September was off-mark (writes David Kilpatrick), the post which I put up here was definitely right about the new A7 or rumoured ‘full frame NEX’ being based on the RX body design. I gather it was not the Alpha division, or the NEX division, which handed the prototype . . . → Read More: Sony A7 merges NEX and RX lines, RX10 revives classics Share this: One comment - (Comments are closed) DK's ramblings, News, NEX System, Rumours, Sony Digital Csmeras 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6, 35mm f/2.8, 55mm f/1.8, A7, A7r, Alpha, Cyber-shot, FE, FE-mount, full-frame-E-mount, NEX, RX1, RX10, Sony 
The A3000 is an E-mount camera which looks like an SLR but takes all your E-mount lenses and has a pretty good 20 megapixel sensor. It even has a metal lens mount. So what has been saved? You can now (2018) find these five-year old bodies for as little as £100. The saving . . . → Read More: Sony Alpha 3000 review by David Kilpatrick Share this: 2 comments - (Comments are closed) Cameras (DSLR), DK's ramblings, Equipment Reviews, NEX System, Sony Digital Csmeras 20 megapixels, A3000, Alpha 3000, body, camera, E-mount, E-system, EVF, ILC, ILCE-3000, mirrorless, mirrorless APS-C, NEX, SLR, Sony, Sony A3000, Sony ILCE-A3000, system 
Reporting from Perpignan, one of our good friends in the biz was enjoying the usual wine and sunshine with photojournalists from a French agency (or two). Turns out that right now there’s an RX1 with interchangeable lenses, just what we asked for when the camera was first seen at photokina, roaming the night-time streets of . . . → Read More: RX1 ‘NEX’ coming in October – 2 interchangeable lenses Share this: 6 comments - (Comments are closed) DK's ramblings, News, NEX System, Rumours, Sony Digital Csmeras camera, interchangeable, Leica, lens, mount, NEX, RX1 
In a move which will not delight many owners of the 2012-released RX1 and RX100 cameras, Sony has chosen to update both of them in fairly subtle ways which improve performance without changing the basic lens specifications at the heart of each camera. The makeover to produce the RX100 II is more thorough, and includes . . . → Read More: Sony updates RX1 and RX100, adds new flash Share this:In the last year two cameras have been through my hands and impressed more than any others with the quality of their sensors. Those cameras were as different as they could be – the full frame Canon EOS 6D, and the pocketable Sony Cyber-shot DSC RX100. They have one thing in common, 20 megapixel sensors. . . . → Read More: 20/20 vision – Sony Alpha 58 review Share this: 2 comments - (Comments are closed) Cameras (DSLR), DK's ramblings, Equipment Reviews, Lenses - Alpha Mount, Sony Digital Csmeras A58, Alpha 58, camera, DSLT-A58, opinion, report, review, Sony, test |
