Sony Cybershot TX200V – 18MP Waterproof Point-And-Shoot Camera
Posted by Photo-John on January 31, 2012 · 0 Comment
Sony has upped the ante in the outdoor camera game with the announcement of the $500, 18-megapixel Cybershot DSC-TX200V waterproof point-and-shoot. I believe that’s $100 more than any previous waterproof point-and-shoot camera and Sony says the new 18-megapixel CMOS sensor is the “highest-resolution currently offered in the ‘point and shoot’ market.” The TX200V also has an interesting [...]

2011 Camera Of The Year – Sony Alpha NEX-7
Posted by Photo-John on January 19, 2012 · 0 Comment
Last year’s camera of the year was pretty obvious to me from early on. And it was the same this year. I took my time, let things settle and took a closer look at the other contenders to make sure I wasn’t missing something. There were four cameras in the running for me – the Sony NEX-7, the Sony Alpha SLT-A77, the Olympus E-P3 and the new Nikon 1 mirrorless camera system. But in the [...]

Posted by Photo-John on January 18, 2012 · 0 Comment
The Sony Alpha NEX-7 is Sony’s top-of-the-line interchangeable lens mirrorless camera and this is our first user review for the NEX-7. It was written by community member Greg McCary, one of my favorite photographers on the site and a man who knows his cameras. Greg owns Olympus, Leica and Sony cameras and he’s a very experienced photographer, so his opinions carry a lot of weight. I’ve been anxiously [...]

The Sony Alpha NEX-5N is a compact system camera with a 16-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor. We shot controlled studio tests at all ISO settings with the NEX-5N and the Sony 18-55mm kit lens. The sample photos were shot RAW in aperture priority mode at f/8. They were converted to 16-bit TIFF files with Lightroom and the graybar, text and logo were added in Photoshop before they were resaved as maximum [...]

Sony NEX-5N – First Impressions
Posted by Photo-John on November 10, 2011 · 0 Comment
Since their introduction in spring of 2010, the Sony Alpha NEX mirrorless cameras have become very popular with both serious photographers who want a high-performance compact camera, and casual photographers who like the smaller size and ease-of-use. I hadn’t seen the latest NEX cameras in person so I made it a point to take a closer look at the NEX line at the PhotoPlus Expo a couple of [...]

Sony NEX-7 – First Impressions
Posted by Photo-John on November 2, 2011 · 0 Comment
So far, the most exciting camera of 2011 is the Sony Alpha NEX-7. At least that’s what I think. The NEX-7 is a rangefinder-style mirrorless camera with a 24-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, beautiful 2.3-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder, a tilting LCD display, full HD video and a new customizable control interface. To summarize – it’s totally badass. Back in August, when I [...]

Hands-On With The Sony NEX-C3
Posted by Photo-John on October 28, 2011 · 0 Comment
The Sony NEX compact mirrorless camera system is one of the more exciting things to happen to camera technology in the past couple of years and it demonstrates Sony’s commitment to innovative camera design. Even though it looks more like a point-and-shoot camera than a digital SLR, Sony’s $650 entry-level NEX-C3 uses the same large APS-C sensor Sony used in last year’s award-winning Alpha [...]

Sony Alpha DSLR Guide
Posted by Photo-John on September 27, 2011 · 0 Comment
Sony was a latecomer to digital SLRs. But don’t let that fool you into thinking they don’t have game. About six years ago they bought all of Konica-Minolta’s digital SLR patents and a few months later they released their digital SLR, the Sony Alpha A100. There was a lot of skepticism about Sony’s ability to make a competitive digital SLR. But the A100 showed the doubters [...]

Sony Alpha SLT-A65 Translucent Mirror Camera
Posted by Photo-John on August 30, 2011 · 0 Comment
The Sony Alpha SLT-A65 was announced last week along with the SLT-A77. It’s a 24-megapixel translucent mirror DSLR-style camera. I say, “DSLR-style” because the SLT-A65 replaces the TTL optical viewfinder of a traditional SLR with a 2.3-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder (EVF). The transparent mirror design makes the camera faster and allows it to use continuous auto focus [...]

Sony Alpha SLT-A77 – Prosumer DSLR Crusher
Posted by Photo-John on August 30, 2011 · 0 Comment
I predicted 2011 was going to be a big year for Sony and they just came through in a big way. Last week they announced four new cameras, including the 24-megapixel Sony Alpha SLT-A77. The A77 is Sony’s new top-of-the-line transparent mirror SLT camera and the follow-up to our 2010 Camera Of The Year, the Sony Alpha SLT-A55. Although the A77 may look a lot like the mid-range digital SLR [...]

Sony NEX-7 – 24-Megapixel Mirrorless Camera
Posted by Photo-John on August 29, 2011 · 0 Comment
Sony’s new top-of-the-line NEX-7 mirrorless camera is a departure both in design and pricing. A lot of the new features and specs are also in the new, less expensive Sony Alpha NEX-5N (improved auto focus, reaction time, etc.). But Sony has clearly built the NEX-7 for professional photographers and serious enthusiasts. It has a super-high-resolution 24-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, which [...]

Look at most of the products Sony has released this year, not just cameras, and you'll notice that they have built 3D technology into just about every device possible. Their new compacts, the WX5 and the TX9 are no exception, with the press material touting them as "the world's smallest 3D cameras." Rather than opting for a two-lens system like Fujifilm, Sony is using the same 3D Sweep Panorama [...]
