AlphaNumerique made an unsual but very interesting test with the Sony A900. Their goal was to find out which RAW converter works best. They used Lightroom, DxO, Bibble, C1Pro, Aperture, IDC, ACDSee, SILKYPIX, Lightzone and Raw Developer.
And the winner is…Adobe Lightroom!

Dpreview tested the new Sony A390. Read the review on http://dpreview.com/reviews/sonydslra390/
P.S.: The current price of the A390 is $572.43 (on amazon)
May not everyone is happy with that lens but at least Amateur Photographer said that “the AF is quick and the pictures are sharp…The resulting images are sharp and crisp, with attractive out of focus areas. In all, I am very pleased with the results…the results demonstrate that it really will be excellent value for money“. Not bad at all…
