Sonyalpharumours has posted a firm rumour that there will be a full-frame NEX. Anyone who understands the design of camera bodies, and the geometry of optical projection, has known from the start that this was possible given the design of the E-mount. Those who have made uninformed comments (all over web forums!) to the effect . . . → Read More: Should NEX go full frame? Share this:Version 2 firmware for the Canon EOS 7D released today so much transforms and upgrades that camera that it makes the lack a replacement – at least until after photokina – no concern for owners. Indeed, owners will be thanking Canon for giving them what amounts to a new camera free of charge. Whether or . . . → Read More: Canon transforms 7D – why can’t Sony do the same?

For almost a decade the Sigma 12-24mm full frame ultra wide angle zoom has been unrivalled by any other makers – not Nikon, not Canon, not Tamron, not Tokina, not Sony. No maker has ventured where Sigma went, to the extremes of over 120° coverage combined with well corrected straight line geometry. Today, the original . . . → Read More: Sigma ultrawide zooms – old and new 12-24s versus 8-16mm Share this: Comments are closed DK's ramblings, Equipment Reviews, Lenses - Alpha Mount 12-24mm, 8-16mm, DG II, HSM, lenses, Sigma, wide-angle, zoom Here at PCA we do not often redirect our loyal readership to other sites, unless it’s to buy stuff which earns us enough commission to enjoy a couple of pints and a burger every month!

The first thing that is likely to strike you about Sony’s one-inch sensor Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 is size. It’s tiny, slightly smaller in body than the Nikon 1 series interchangeable lens mirrorless cameras using an identical size 2.7X factor, one-inch or 13.2 x 8.8mm sensor.

Much of my NEX-7 critique was written while also using a NEX-5n outfit. I was lucky enough to find an opened NEX-5n 18-55mm kit missing its mini flash at a very low price, as new. By the time I had finished completing my NEX-5n system with bells and whistles, the total would almost have . . . → Read More: NEX-5n – sweet sixteen and expandable at a cost Share this: Comments are closed DK's ramblings, Equipment Reviews, NEX System 5n, Alpha, camera, critique, NEX, NEX-5n, review, Sony The Sony NEX-7 is not a NEX at heart.
