  • Three new Sony Alpha cameras

    We learned about the arrival of the new Sony Alpha 230, Sony Alpha 330, Sony Alpha 380 SLR photo cameras by a leak from Sony web sites. Obviously, Sony is ready to announce them and is actively leaking information, since the Sony Style web sites are now showing pictures of the new cameras (in the…

  • Sony Alpha 330, really?

    Directly from Sony, but this may still be an error… it seems that a Sony Alpha 330 is coming in the near future. Impossible to say what this is really, but I’d bet on an SLR photo camera looking like a cheaper Sony Alpha 300/350. Nothing more tehcnical, no feature list, but the error seems…

  • Sony Alpha 500?

    If you are waiting for one or more new SLR cameras from Sony this year, you are not alone. By far. But when you see Russian web sites pumping rumours, you may start beng suspicious. On photogenius.ru, there are a couple of photos and a feature list for a Sony Alpha 500 which would be…

  • Full Frame comparison

    Gizmodo, the gadget blog, sometimes has a few interesting posts about digital photography. Today, this is the case with their “Canon 5D Mark II vs. Nikon D700 Review Shoot-Out” which turned out to face the two digital cameras in real-life conditions of night photo (of course, they wanted to compare high-ISO pictures and noise).

  • Sony: A new entry-level SLR

    This is just what is promised by an informer to Photography Bay. Not much about real information (and this may even not be true), but what we learn here is quite interesting and thought-provoking (though quite similar to things that you read previously on YLovePhoto): April 2009 availability Will replace simultaneously the Alpha 200 and…

  • First touchscreen SLR camera?

    What do you think about this? There are already several point-and-shoot compact cameras using LCD touchscreens for all or part of the user interface. But, to this day, none of the major SLR camera manufacturers did try this on a them while it would be relatively easy to push this into a design budget for…

  • All lens tests are wrong

    I recommend reading a nice little post titled “All lens tests are wrong” that concludes that the only good test for a lens is to use it during a full year. Not wrong, but I still recommend to also check my list of web sites with photo lens reviews.

  • Canon, Sony, no SLR

    Today, Canon as well as Sony did announce several new products for this beginning of a recession year (plenty of point-and-shoot cameras). Of course, this is the preparation of the next PMA fair in Las Vegas. But SLR enthusiasts will stay waiting for more. No new SLR body. Only Tilt-Shift lenses in Full Frame ability…

  • Sony Alpha 800 from Copenhagen

    This is a leak coming from a web site which was one the very first to give data about the Sony Alpha 900 (before it was announced): The Sony Alpha 800 would be presented during March 2009 PMA fair. With the following prominent features: 15.2 megapixels Sensitivity: ISO 100-12.800 Continuous shoot: 6.5 fps New AF…
