Sony has updated their rugged, waterproof point-and-shoot camera line with the new TX30, which they say is the slimmest and lightest rugged camera available now. Waterproofing on the TX30 has been doubled, increasing the depth rating from 16 feet to 33 feet and putting it in line with the rest of the top-end rugged point-and-shoot […]

The Sony Alpha NEX-7 is Sony’s top-of-the-line compact system camera. It was our 2011 Camera of the Year because it was the first mirrorless camera to offer true pro-level performance. It was a very difficult camera to get ahold of, though. I finally got my hands on one and I’ve been using it for a […]

Sony has introduced a second power zoom lens to their E-mount NEX lens line. Actually, the 11x E PZ18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS power zoom lens was already introduced as the kit lens for Sony’s NEX-VG30 camcorder. But it’s now available on its own for Sony’s NEX still cameras as well as the NEX-mount camcorders. Why the […]

Sony has announced a new, compact prime lens for their NEX mirrorless camera system. The new E-mount 20mm f/2.8 pancake lens has a focal length equivalent to 30mm on a 35mm / full-frame camera. That’s a conservative wide-angle focal length – very close to the traditional 35mm focal length preferred by photojournalists and street photographers. […]

In October Sony invited me to attend a camera event in Monterey, California where I got to spend a few days with some of their hottest new cameras. One of those was the 16-megapixel NEX-6, Sony’s latest interchangeable lens mirrorless camera. The NEX-6 was introduced in September at the biennial Photokina tradeshow in Germany. It’s […]

I got to use the Sony Alpha A99 camera for three days during a Sony cameras press event a few weeks ago in California. I really, really liked it and was very sad when I had to return it. I’ve used a few full-frame cameras this year but the A99 stands out in my mind […]

Last week I had a very exclusive opportunity to shoot with Sony’s new RX1 high-end compact camera. It’s hard to put the Sony RX1 camera in perspective.

I think 2012 should be called “Year of the Full-Frame.” Seems like everyone’s got a new full-frame digital SLR – including Sony. It’s been four years since they introduced their first full-frame camera, the 24-megapixel A900; and Sony photographers have been anxious for a replacement. In the past couple of years Sony has introduced a […]
