Sony DSC-RX100 III test by BHphoto.

The RX100m3 will ship in two weeks from now and here are a couple of new RX100M3 image samples and tests. On top you can see a hands-on video from BH. And now let’s talk about a small surprise:
The ISO comparison done by Focus Numerique (google translated) shows how the RX100M3 beats the larger sensor cameras like the G1X and GM1 and almost matches the APS-C sensor performance of the Rico GR:

Quite amazing or not?

Dpreview (Click here) posted the fulL A6000 review and writes:

The a6000 is a really solid camera and is better than its predecessor in almost every respect – anyone worried about Sony cutting corners to hit a lower price point should be reassured that it has done so intelligently. The result is a really capable camera, offering impressive image quality in both Raw and JPEG modes, plus class-leading video features. That it then does so in a small, convenient, well featured and competitively priced package is what really seals the deal for us. It’s strong in all areas and outstanding in some.

The camera therefore earned the Gold Award with a score of 80%.

Detailed hands on with the Sony A77 II by Sony

Here are a couple of A77II test links I got from SAR readers (Thank You All!).

A77II quick review by Yannick Ciancanelli.

ISO test images and RAW files at Sonyuserforum.de.

Vishal: “I received my A77II and have been taking plenty of photos with it. I’m aware there are not that many shots taken with the camera online as of yet, so I would like to point SAR readers to my Flickr page, which showcases some of the images I’ve taken with my Zeiss 16-80mm F3.5-4.5 (SAL1680Z). I’ve organised the photos in a folder named “Sony A77II” to make things easier. The images were shot in Raw and converted to jpeg using the latest version of Sony’s Image Data Converter. You can find the images here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/drvish/sets/”

Andreas: “I’ve found a way to convince Photoshop CS5 to process Sony α77 II (ILCA-77M2) raw files, which might be interesting for other fellow Sony users: http://seeraeuberphoto.wordpress.com/2014/05/29/how-to-convince-photoshop-cs5-to-process-sony-%CE%B177-ii-ilca-77m2-raw-arw-files/ However I have no idea if I am the only one where this “hack” works, or if it works for other people as well.”

Time to catch up with some tests about the newest Sony APS-C E-mount camera, the A6000! And as you know the lens got a $50 off in USA which makes it even more interesting (see at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, SonyStore).

As you know Kai from Digitalrev doesn’t really like the Sony SLT cameras (he likes the A7 series much more). And this is his take on the new A77II. As usual take it with a bit of fun and not too seriously :)
