Sony’s upcoming (and long-awaited) full-frame mirrorless camera is a dramatic upgrade to 2014’s α7 II model.
This second generation Full Frame mirrorless camera is an evolutionary step-up from the original Sony α7. Sony rights many of the α7’s wrongs here, while building on the same core features that made it so successful in the first place, creating another winner in the process.
Sony has announced their upcoming mirrorless camera, the a5100. The tl;dr is that it’s basically the a6000 in a more compact package. The a5100 has no electronic viewfinder or any physical control dials to speak of, but it does contain the same 24.3-megapixel CMOS APS-C sensor and BIONZ X image processing engine as the a6000. In other words, it still focuses on…
While the Sony NEX-5 series of cameras will soon be replaced by the Sony a5000, the even more popular Sony NEX-6 is about to have a successor of its own: the Sony a6000. The a6000 improves on the NEX-6 in almost every respect. The old 16.1-megapixel sensor has been replaced with an awesome new 24.3-megapixel CMOS APS-C model. It can burst-shoot at…
Our editor Shawn has written a lot about mirrorless cameras, particularly the Olympus E-PL5 and its siblings. I think the Olympus cameras are great, but I’ve always figured that if I had the money, I might opt for something from the Sony NEX lineup instead. I just like the way they look, and I’ve seen them produce some incredible shots. But it…
What if you could somehow take the accessibility of a smartphone and pair it with the power of a point-and-shoot camera? Sony’s new ‘Smart Lens’ QX series of cameras aims to do just that. Available for pre-order in two flavors – the smaller QX10 ($248) and the larger QX100 ($498) – these cameras essentially look like zoom lenses that you attach to…
Intentionally over-engineered to handle the harshest, most extreme conditions you’re likely to ever shoot in.
This fast 35mm prime is a true workhorse, and definitely a high point in the history of the Sony E-mount system.
Stepping up in size from the Retrospective 5, this rugged camera bag adds versatility to an already strong reputation.
Owning the Berlin II is like being stuck in Barcelona because of a missed connection — there are a lot of worse places to be, and there are tons of worse bags to have.
The ultra-wide angle zoom has long been a staple in the landscape photographer’s kit. Though not perfect, this Sony/Zeiss collaboration delivers great optical performance, hitting many of the right notes with only a few minor issues. It’s a keeper.
Before I purchased the Slide LITE, I was a little doubtful of how well the strap would deliver on its promise of flexibility. Now, I think this is one of Peak Design’s best products.
The Sony 16–70mm ZA f/4 OSS costs a pretty penny, but it’s the only compact regular zoom with a constant aperture for APS-C E-Mount cameras.
The versatile 70-200mm lens is a staple in the working photographer’s arsenal because it excels across a wide variety of scenarios ranging from portraits to landscapes and even sports. Sony’s first take on this proven formula for the FE system is a stunner and will surely impress veterans and newcomers alike.
The first Sony-Zeiss take on the standard zoom lens for the Full Frame E-mount system may not set any performance records, but its versatile focal range and constant f/4 maximum aperture give α7-series shooters a very capable tool to get the job done in a compact, sleek package.
The Think Tank Urban Approach is the perfect larger camera bag for the photographer that wants a dedicated padded spot for each piece of gear, but also values versatility, an urban backpack design, and superb construction.
Standard primes around the 50mm focal are some of the most popular lenses around, and manufacturers have had decades to learn how to make them efficiently. In designing their first standard prime lens for the Full Frame E-mount system, however, Sony took advantage of all that knowledge, then flipped it on its head to create one of the most remarkable pieces of glass we’ve seen in years.
