  • Another leak: Sony Alpha 750

    When we told you that it was going to happen! Here is LetsGoDigital finding a leaked shadow of a future SLR photo camera from Sony, the Sony Alpha 750 which will most certainly will be the successor to the Sony Alpha 700 awaited for the beginning of next year. But we will have to wait…

  • Premium repair for Sony

    Sony will soon offer (at the end of October) a Premium service for after-sales and warranty. It will target pros and top-flight amateur photographers.

  • Sony Zeiss 16-35mm f/2.8 first impressions

    I just got a Sony Carl Zeiss 16-35mm f/2.8 ZA SSM zoom (Mfr# SAL1635Z) and I wanted to share with you my first impressions. Obviously, this is a pro-level mechanical design. You immediately notice the weight of this zoom lens (at no less than 1.9 lbs (860g), this is not a cheap plastic lens). Some…

  • Sony 2010 roadmap

    Photo-Rumors reveals what could well be the Sony roadmap for the year 2010. You were expecting a pause, you will be disappointed. Competition will still be intense: 7-10 January 2010 (CES, Las Vegas) : announcement of Sony A950, 32 MP FF, still no video, high ISO). January-April : tele-lens 600mm. 10-15 April (NAB, Las Vegas)…

  • Super sensor at Sony

    To make it simpler than it really may be, you can expect that the next Sony Alpha 950 (probable name of the successor to the Sony Alpha 900, improved in the beginning of 2010) will have no less than 32 mega-pixels. Even for a Full Frame sensor, this is a lot of pixels. But this…

  • Sony Alpha 7 will come with a new AF system

    We had no difficult in imagining that the predicted disappearance of the Sony Alpha 700 would lead Sony to offer a true replacement (somewhere between the Sony Alpha 500/550 and the Full Frame cameras like the Alpha 850). But this is an informant of Photo-Rumors who presents what a new auto-focus (AF) system would look…

  • DSLR market change

    This is Photoscala which published the sales numbers for digital SLR cameras. The most amazingly interesting is -for me- which major brands progressed (or not) between 2006 and 2008: You cannot miss the obvious progress of Sony who clearly became a major actor of this market, and a significant competitor for Canon and Nikon. Furthermore,…

  • Sony Alpha 500 & Sony Alpha 550

    Sony has presented two new DSLR cameras for the middle of its range: Sony Alpha 500 & Sony Alpha 550. Obviously developped simultaneously and sharing a lot of features, they are offering 12/14 MP APS-C sensors and very good continuous shooting, even in the LiveView mode which has been brought to a very good level…

  • Official Sony Alpha 850

    Now it’s official! Sony released information about the Sony Alpha 850, it’s second Full Frame digital SLR camera. Now, the price is right. Below 2000€, the body is essentially the same as the Sony Alpha 900 (including the excellent 24 mega-pixel Full Frame sensor with its in-body image stabilization). The designers reduced significantly the costs…
