Just Posted: Our review of the Sony Alpha SLT-A99. The A99 is Sony’s flagship SLT camera – featuring a 24MP full-frame sensor and dual AF system, along with the level of build and direct control you’d expect from a range-topping model. We’ve put the A99 through its paces in a variety of situations, including an investigation of how its AF depth control performs in challenging shooting conditions. We’ve also looked at the advantages the SLT system and articulated screen bring to a camera at this level, as well as looking at their downsides. Click here to find out what we concluded.

Sometimes you’re limited in space and you have to get creative. I needed a high-key full-length background and didn’t have enough room to use a white seamless, so I went with my trusty, old faithful Lastolite Hi-Lite background. This is how I lit the shot.

Just Posted: an extensive update to our Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 preview. We’ve been working away towards a review of the RX1 that we received recently. With its full frame sensor and 35mm F2 lens, it’s a camera that’s generated a lot of excitement amongst photographers, so we wanted to publish more detail of its performance and behavior. We’ve added eight pages to the preview, including more detail about its handling and interface as well as our studio test shots, a sample gallery from the production camera and our first impressions of shooting with it.
