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

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.

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.

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

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 
Lensmate produce an ultra lightweight filter adapter for the Sony Cyber-shot RX100, as well as selling some related accessories.

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 |
