  • Sigma SD15: Too late, too expensive?

    Sigma announced that the Digital SLR first presented in 2008, Sigma SD15, will become available on 25 June 2010. Up to this point, it just looked like Sigma was fighting to close the time gap. But there are plenty of comments on the web about the prices that have been associated to this announcement: Europe:…

  • New Sony DSLR: Alpha 290 & Alpha 390

    According to a message on the forums of Dyxum, a Swedish magazine, “Digitalfoto för Alla”, just presented the new SLR photo cameras from Sony.

  • Sony and 35mm video

    You thought that Sony was preparing an SLR photo camera with video recording features?

It will probably knock…
