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 The long-rumoured Alpha 3000 was announced earlier in August but placed under a n embargo until August 27th.

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 
We shall be sending Frank Doorhof one of our original and rare Alpha Male T-shirts, in black, though I’m not sure we have anything quite large enough to fit him – which goes for his personality too.

Although I don’t think the camera is a game-changer or a vital upgrade for owners of Alpha 55 and 57 (the 55 will leave me only when it expires, with its useful GPS, 6fps/10fps and fully articulated reversible rear screen) there are hidden bonuses . . . → Read More: Colour and power benefits of Sony 20 megapixel sensor Share this: Comments are closed Cameras (DSLR), DK's ramblings, News, NEX System, Sony Digital Csmeras 20MP, A58, Alpha 58, colour gamut, megapixel, sensor, Sony, TriLuminos The Japanese industry magazine, Nippon Camera, has posted its calendar of new product releases for 2013.

The launch of and initial reaction to Sony’s Alpha 99 has been spoiled, for many, by the overpricing of the camera generally and to a greater degree in some key markets. The promise of the SLT design, and Sony’s move away from flapping mirrors and optical prisms with their associated collimation and alignment, was . . . → Read More: Sony’s Alpha 99 – mastery wrapped in dilemma Share this: 2 comments - (Comments are closed) Cameras (DSLR), DK's ramblings, Equipment Reviews 24 megapixel, A99, Alpha 99, camera, DSLR, DSLT, FF, full frame, professional, report, review, Sony 
Sony has released internationally valid firmware updates for both the Alpha 77, Alpha 65 and NEX-7.
