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.

Sony offers NEX-5N adjustment for users experiencing video clicking
24
Sep
Sony has posted a note on its support site saying it will modify NEX-5N cameras of users troubled by clicking noises during video recording. The company points out that the phenomenon only occurs: ‘if the camera undergoes sudden motion while recording; motion generally inconsistent with smooth video recording.’ But has said it will make an ‘adjustment’ to the cameras (during the warranty period) of users who feel they’re likely to encounter the issue. The company doesn’t say that only people combining jogging with their videography need apply, but…

Sony SLT-A35 review published
22
Sep
We’ve published our review of the Sony SLT-A35. This latest model in Sony’s series of ‘translucent mirror’ cameras incorporates almost all the features of the original A33 and A55 but includes what Sony promises is an improved 16MP sensor, and handful of extra processing options. The only real losses compared to the A33 are the articulated rear screen and $ 50 from the MSRP of the 18-55mm lens kit, taking it down to $ 699. Is this enough to compete in the crowded entry-level segment? Read our review to find out.

Aug
Just Posted: Studio comparison shots from the Sony DSC-HX100V. We’ve just got hold of Sony’s latest superzoom, the 16.2MP HX100 and shot our standard test scene with it. It’s built around the latest 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55mm) back illuminated CMOS sensor and offers a vast 27-810mm equivalent 30x zoom. Being Sony’s top-of-the-range superzoom, it features a manual control ring that can be switched between controlling zoom and or manual focus. We also have one of its main rivals – the Panasonic DMC-FZ150 in the studio and will add that to the comparison tool as soon as we can.

Sony unveils SLT-A77 flagship APS-C DSLR-rival
26
Aug
Sony has released the SLT-A77, a successor to its A700 semi-pro DSLR. The long-promised A77 makes use of Sony’s translucent mirror technology to offer an impressive 12 frame-per-second shooting rate, despite its 24MP APS CMOS sensor. In addition has the highest-resolution electronic viewfinder we’ve ever encountered, with a 2.4M dot OLED viewfinder that rivals the company’s full-frame A900 for size. We’ve been using a pre-production A77 for just over a week and have prepared a hands-on preview including real-world sample gallery. Has it been worth the wait for the Alpha faithful?

Sony content updated. In the light of the level of interest in Sony’s latest launches, we’ve gone back and added more information to much of our content. Now our servers have cooled down a bit, we’ve gone back and, in response to the questions you’ve been asking, we’ve updated our coverage. Most noticeably, we’ve added some 1080p60 movie samples to the A77 preview. We’ve also added improved illustrations to our NEX-7 first look to make it easier to see how the control system is going to work.
