Sony A77 at Cameralabs (Nikon D3200 vs A77)

Share

Dpreview (Click here) tested the image quality of the Nikon D3200 with 24 Megapixel (Sony?) sensor. Do you see a difference in RAW between the A77 and Nikon RAW files? I guess Nikon did the usual “tweaks” on the Sony sensor.

And here we have some A77 and A57 news:
Sony A77: First Impressions from a Nikon User’s Perspective at ThePhoBlographer (Click here).
If you missed it here is the Sony A77 review at Cameralabs (Click here): “The SLT-A77 is the best SLT Sony has yet produced and, arguably, the one that puts SLT on a par with SLR, an achievement for which it deserves to be highly recommended.

A full NEX-F3 and A37 and lens rumor roundup!

Share

We had a busy weekend with plenty of rumors and leaks. Time to sum everything in one single post. And I also want to know your buying intentions :)
The good news of all these leaks is that I posted the NEX-F3 and A37 rumor over three months ago. These means that also my Full Frame rumors are very likely correct as they are coming from the same sources!

(SR5) Massive leak of new NEX-F3 pictures!!!

Share

There has been a massive leak at Yangcanggih (Click here). You Can click on the pictures to enlarge the images! As you can see it really has that 180 degree titlable LCD screen “copied” from he [shoplink 12423 ebay]Samsung MV800 (here on eBay)[/shoplink]. The camera is a bit more “massive” compared to the [shoplink 7207]NEX-C3[/shoplink] due the new grip and probably thicker body.

Sony 50mm f/1.8 at Amazon for $298

This is a must have lens for all NEX camera owners and also a lens that wasn’t easy to find in Stock in US stores. So grab it now here at Amazon (Click here). It is now the fifth most sold lens at Amazon (here is the lens ranking). It delivers impressive results on the NEX-C3 and NEX-5n and a part of the super expensive 24mm Zeiss it’s the only cheap NEX lens that delivers a good performance on the NEX-7. Read the review at http://photozone.de/Reviews/sonynex.
