    Limited information: Canon will hold a press conference on February, 18th to present the news of this first quarter of 2009. But they declined to tell what this will contain.

  • Sony 70-400mm tested in France

    Jean-Marie Sépulchre made a test of the Sony 70-400 mm f/4-5.6 G SSM on a Sony Alpha 900 (24 MP Full frame camera).

  • Nikon D3x vs Sony Alpha 900 (ISO 50-ISO 6400)

    Master Chong presents a direct comparison of these two recent cameras, with 100% cropped images. dPhotoExpert makes something similar, but much simpler, with a single comparison at 1600 ISO.
