Reminder: Big SLT and NEX rebates in US.

Share

This is just a reminder to say that yesterday Sony launched a great deal action on many SLT and NEX cameras. The only little bad news is that the deal doesn’t include the new A99. That’s the list:

Deal 1) Save up to $300 on Qualifying Sony Alpha Digital SLR Cameras (Click here to see the Amazon page). The same deal is now running on BHphoto and Adorama too.
Deal 2) Save up to $200 on Select Sony NEX Compact System Cameras (Click here to see the Amazon page). The same deal is now running on BHphoto and Adorama too.
Deal 3) Save up to $100 on Select Sony Lenses (Click here to see the Amazon page).
Deal 4) Sony Cyber-shot Digital Cameras Starting at $79 (Click here to see the Amazon page).

The NEX-6 deal may be the on to grab. it’s the newest NEX camera and was a good deal even before the $100 price drop!

(SR5) Bigger announcements coming in March-April. And the three SLT models will be…

Share

Hi!

CES and CP+ shows are over and ironically it is now that rumors will get more interetsing. Major announcements are schedule for March-April and as I told you Sony will start from the bottom entry level stuff and announce more advanced stuff in summer and autumn. For now I can confirm that three SLT models will be announced this year, the first will be the A38, followed by the A58 (both in March-April). And the second half of the year will bring us the new A78. The lenses to come will be the 50mm Zeiss, the 70-200mm, the 70-400mm and a new 18-135mm DT lens.

Soon to come on SAR is a NEX rumors. So stay tuned! Don’t miss any rumor and subscribe the RSS feed (Click here) and Twitter (Click here) stream and the Facebook fan page (Click here)!

Metabones first impressions on DPreview. Canon FD, Minolta MD and Amount to be supported later.

Share

The holy grail of the adapters got tested at Dpreview. And they basically come to the same conclusion of other reviewers: “Image quality is very impressive, with results that compare exceptionally well against a full frame sensor. You do pay a small price in terms of corner softness and CA.”

If you have more questions about the adapter check out this FAQ on Metabones website. And the interesting news you can read on it is that “We will be looking into [shoplink 16763 ebay]Canon FD (lens here on eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 16762 ebay]Minolta MD (here on eBay)[/shoplink] and Sony Alpha in the future.”

UPDATE: SAR reader Vivek sent me a link to his super nice set of image samples with the Speed Booster: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vivek-iyer/sets/72157632630886829/

The EF to E-mount adapter is now shipping via the Metabones website. To get notified when more adapters are in Stock on eBay save this search on Slidoo.
