(Updated June 15th after press conference) The new Sony A7R II is the camera I’ve been waiting for, which everyone has predicted, and which seems to tick every box without having a huge price label on its own. I find the $3,200 (UK coinfirmed £2,600) matches its stated specifications well. Others may disagree, but . . . → Read More: Sony A7R II, RX10 II, RX100 IV – making everything else obsolete Share this: 2 comments - (Comments are closed)  DK's ramblings, HD Video, Legacy Lenses, NEX System, Sony Digital Cameras  42 megapixel, A7R II, A7R MkII, Alpha, BSI, camera, CMOS, CSC, digital, E-mount, FE-mount, full frame, ILC, Mark II, mirrorless, phase-detect, professional, Sony, system From Sonyalpharumours (with the links all very neatly arranged, probably from Sony’s own sources) details of firmware updates for the RX10 and the RX100 MkIII.

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 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.
