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. Surprise at our end about the RX100 update, since the camera has only been on the market a short while, and the internal batteries used to maintain the date (etc) . . . → Read More: Firmware updates for RX10, RX100mkIII

I guess that Zeiss must be working right now on full frame Touit lenses, because this is unprecedented value for those able to buy in dollars without steep shipping charges, duties or taxes – however, the links they emailed out today led to a wrong page on their USED section, and after a lot of . . . → Read More: B&H double Zeiss Touit lens deal for NEX Share this: Comments are closed Accessories - 3rd party, Lenses - Alpha Mount, NEX System, Offers 12mm, 32mm, B&H, Carl Zeiss, E-mount, lens, lenses, NEX, offer, Sony, Touit, Zeiss 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.

Sony’s successor to the Alpha 77 improves all-round performance in line with the enhanced 24 megapixel sensor also found in the new A6000 E-mount camera. Key points are that the AF array now covers most of the image area (this is a mixed blessing as Canon 7D owners quickly found out, having active AF points . . . → Read More: Alpha 77 II announced Share this: 2 comments - (Comments are closed) Cameras (DSLR), HD Video, News A77 II, Alpha 77 II, SLT-A77II, 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 A crowd at a charity auction in Florida couldn’t believe their eyes as two brand new Hasselblad Lunar cameras with a joint retail value of around $14,000 suddenly rocketed in value to $54,500 (from Hasselblad press release this afternoon).

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?
