My review of the Sony Alpha 550 was supposed to appear at the end of November, allowing one week abroad in good weather with plenty of subject-matter, in Tenerife. Sadly that trip had to be cancelled, and the Nikon D3S arrived for review on the day we were meant to have travelled. So, with far [...] . . . → Read More: Sony Alpha 550 Review: highs and lows

ACCORDING to specifications revealed on a German site, the new Sony Alpha 500 will have a 12.3 megapixel CMOS sensor capable of providing Live View to the rear 3 inch medium resolution screen – with Manual Focusing at 14X magnification. The in-prism based Quick AF Live View is retained, giving a choice between two entirely [...] . . . → Read More: Sensor-feed Live View in new Alpha 500 Sony’s September launch for 2009 looks set to include three new models – the Alpha 500, 550 and 850. The model numbers are confirmed by the usual backdoor leak, appearing in the registration database for SonyStyle USA in this case (Canada has been a past culprit, updating databases associated with their site before the product [...] . . . → Read More: Alpha 500, 550 and 850  5 comments  Cameras (DSLR), DK's ramblings, News  500, 550, 850, Alpha, CCD, CMOS, DSLR, features, HD, launch, Live View, LV, megapixels, model, new, price, sensor, Sony, specification, speculation, video Latest update May 7th: Sony Style pages are starting to show this header picture, which shows three new models all sharing an unusual handgrip design and using the new lenses: Note – the new models have handgrip sensors or appear to – maybe the nickel problem has been conquered.

This camera has the first articulated screen (only 230,000 pixels) to be designed by Nikon. See: http://www.dphotoexpert.com/2009/04/14/nikon-d5000-live-view-hdv-articulated-screen/ . . . → Read More: Nikon D5000 – HDvid, articulated screen Canon has today officially announced the 15.5 megapixel APS-C EOS 50D. This is a 1.6X factor sensor, packing a density well in excess of the Alpha 350 – if Sony was to make an Alpha with the same pixel density it would be 17.5 megapixels, and a full framer would be 38.5 megapixels. . . . → Read More: Canon EOS 50D faces up to Live View One of the problems with the Alpha 350/300 is that the Live View is linked to the settings when you use Manual exposure. It provides a form of metering, a relatively accurate preview of under or over exposure. This makes it impossible to use Manual with studio flash (AC mains strobe) setups. Currently, there is [...] . . . → Read More: Alpha Live View in the studio – solved! The introduction of a £399 (street price, RRP £449) DSLR with 14.2 megapixels – with or without a useful type of Live View – should have been applauded by reviewers. It’s the single most important point about the camera. No other DSLR approaches this image size and resolution at such a low price. . . . → Read More: Sony Alpha 350 – a Creative Review The prototype ‘Flagship’ Alpha DSLR, with its 24 megapixel sensor, may offer live view – almost certainly off the sensor. Sony prototype (it is still officially in that state) product photographs reveal what looks like an extra button or sliding switch – and at least one rumour states that this is definitely for live view. . . . → Read More: Alpha 900 may (not!) have Live View NOT everyone will want the live view offered by the A300 and A350 – it does turn out to be more or less as we suggested, a secondary optical path adjacent to the eyepiece inside the prism housing. I’ll explain here exactly what the implications are, and why a future model – let’s call it [...] . . . → Read More: How the live view A300 and A350 will work |
