The Luminous Landscape – What’s New
Just Posted: Our hands-on video preview of the Sony NEX-7. The NEX-7 is Sony’s enthusiast mirrorless camera, combining a 24MP CMOS sensor with a 2.4M dot OLED electronic viewfinder and more physical controls than on any of the previous NEX cameras. There’s been a lot of interest in camera, so we’ve prepared a hands-on preview video to show what it can do. There will be a more extensive written preview published next week, as part of the process of writing a full review but, in the meantime, we hope this video helps give you an idea of what to expect.
Just Posted: Sony NEX-7 pre-production samples gallery. We’ve been shooting at the press launch of Sony’s latest cameras, affording us a chance to shoot with a pre-production NEX-7. We’ve put together a samples gallery in a variety of lighting conditions, giving an idea of what the camera will be capable of. We’ve also tried its sweep-panorama mode in circumstances where conventional panorama shooting would have been challenging. We’ll be adding to the gallery over the coming days.
Just Posted: Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* E 24mm F1.8 ZA preview samples gallery. At the press launch we’ve had a chance to shoot with Sony’s latest E-mount prime lens: the Zeiss-branded 36mm equivalent 24mm F1.8 ZA. We’ve been shooting the lens on a pre-production NEX-7 to show its performance in front of a 24MP sensor. As usual we’ve tried to shoot the lens in a variety of conditions and at a variety of apertures to give an idea about how it behaves.
