  • 14 August, 2012 – Tokina 300mm Mirror Lens for MFT – A Hands-On Review

    Mirror lenses have been around since the 1950’s. Some are better than others, but they never are really up to the quality of a good prime of comparable focal length, or even a decent zoom.

    But their small size and comparative low cost keep them popular among some photographers, and their unique "drawing" ability appeals to some.

    Lens maker Tokina had just released a 300mm F6.3 Macro Mirror lens for Micro Four Thirds, and I have just field tested this new lens on my Olympus OM-D E-M5. My review is now online.

  • Sony NEX-VG10E Handycam Interchangeable Lens Digital HD Camcorder Unboxing & Review

    Sony’s NEX-VG10 provides the options previously reserved for professional videographers to consumers. It is equipped with the same ExmorTM APS HD CMOS sensor used in Sony’s “NEX-5” and “NEX-3” digital cameras which is approximately 19.5 times bigger than what you would find in conventional camcorders. It has a powerful BIONZTM processor allowing photographers the ability to capture full 1920×1080/60i high definition video at up to 24Mbps for true cinematic Blu-ray quality. And most of you must ask that how much does it cost? I bought the Cam itself 00, the Video Light 0 & I also got a 16GB Memory Stick Pro Duo Mark 2 for 0 that records for 2 hours. Here’s the link of the Official video of the NEX-VG10 by Sony www.youtube.com

  • Just Posted – Sony NEX-F3 review

    sony_nexf3.png

    Just posted: Sony NEX-F3 review. In the latest of our collaborations with Jeff Keller of the Digital Camera Resource Page, we look at the Sony NEX-F3 – the company’s latest entry-level mirrorless camera. The F3 continues the lineage of the original NEX-3, including many of features of Sony’s more expensive models in a less expensive body. In the case of the F3 this means the latest 16MP APS-C sensor capable of up to 6 frames per second, plus Auto Portrait Framing mode, a built-in flash and an LCD that flips all the way up to aid self-portraiture. Do these latest additions offer a significant improvement for the baby NEX? Click through to read the review.
