The Sony a9 III is still months away from release but has already sent photographers into a frenzy. The positive buzz around the camera is as high as any camera reveal ever, and with good reason. The a9 III's global shutter system is a complete game-changer for a wide range of photographers and videographers and will enable shots that have long been impossible.
The Sony a6700 is a compelling addition to Sony's lineup and is the first addition to the a6000 line in several years. But, strangely, it doesn't appear as though it ships with any way to charge it.
Sony Camera Channel has posted a placeholder for an upcoming product announcement on YouTube. Per the video's description, Sony will announce a new camera on July 12 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. The product's tagline is "Next generation creativity on the go."
Sony has announced the Xperia 1 Mark IV, a smartphone packed with features that put the needs of video shooters first but doesn't hold much back for everyone else. It's also the first smartphone with a true optical zoom lens that can shoot between 85mm and 125mm.
The Nikon Z9 isn't the only mirrorless camera that makes it easier to capture speeding bullets in mid-air. Lithuania photographer Vytautas Dranginis has been catching them at the 2022 Winter Olympics with a Sony Alpha 1.
Sony's ZV-E10 is one of the newest offerings from the company and was positioned as a vlogging camera perhaps more than it is a photography-focused one. So does it do a good job as one, and should you buy it?
The Digital Picture has published an in-depth in-body image stabilization (IBIS) test that compared the performance of the Canon EOS R5 and the Sony Alpha 1. In many cases, Canon's EOS R5 showed a 1/3 to 2/3 stop advantage over Sony's flagship.
Sony appears to have discontinued the a6500 camera as it has been removed from the company's official website while distributors have also marked the camera as "no longer available."
Recently a squirrel noticed our nut box that was waiting to be raided for almost a year now. But as our squirrels here are a bit skittish, I needed to come up with a way to get in close to take nice pictures of them.
MonsterAdapter has announced a Nikon F-mount to Sony E-mount electronic adapter that the company promises will bring autofocus on Nikon AF-I, AF-S, and AF-P lenses with confirmed operability on a range of Sony cameras.
Two unnamed Sony cameras have reportedly passed FCC Certification for Wi-Fi compliance in the United States. While very short on details, the filing does give some indication of what to expect from Sony early next year.
Though you can probably attribute the timing to Amazon Prime day (which takes place October 13-14), discounts on Sony camera equipment are not just reserved for Amazon's buying holiday. Starting today and through the end of the week, you can score discounts on everything from the a9 and a7R IV to a host of lenses anywhere Sony is sold.
Sony is reportedly gearing up to announce a brand new mirrorless camera line: an entry-level camera that will be its smallest and cheapest full-frame body yet.
Yongnuo has unveiled a new 50mm f/1.8 lens, expanding its "nifty fifty" lineup to include the YN50mm f/1.8S DA DSM for Sony's E-Mount APS-C cameras. We don't have a price yet, but we expect this to be the cheapest 50mm lens you can buy for Sony's a6000 series once it hits stores.
A major change -- and learning curve -- for me this year has been my switch from Nikon to Sony. I’ve already documented the story of my switch to Sony, but what I have since discovered is the huge possibilities -- or as some of us might call it the “confusion of options” -- that comes with owning a Sony Alpha camera.
Here's a peek of what's to come in the camera industry: Sony is reportedly getting ready to announce two new full-frame sensors, one of which will be capable of 60 megapixel photos, 16 channels, and 8K video recording.
Sony's latest mirrorless cameras are much improved when it comes to shooting with adapted lenses from other manufacturers. To test just how well it works, photographer Manny Ortiz got his hands on a $5,700 Canon 200mm f/2.L IS lens and mounted it to his new Sony a7R III camera.
Until 2016, I had photographed weddings using nothing but Nikon cameras. First the D90, then D700, D3s, D4 and then the D4s (while dabbling with the D800, D810, and D750 in-between). I love/loved my Nikons and never regretted avoiding Canon at any stage.
Guess what fancy camera technology North Korea uses for its spy drone program? Sony's A-mount SLT cameras. One of these cameras was recently found by South Korean authorities in a North Korean spy drone that was found crashed in a forest.
Sony makes excellent cameras. In the last few years, they launched a completely new full frame camera system that has pushed the bounds of digital photography. I switched entirely to Sony gear after first seeing the tremendous low-light capability of their a7S and have enjoyed many outings shooting astrophotography on many different Sony camera bodies since.
The European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) has been giving out awards for the best photography equipment for 34 years, so they know a thing or two about what makes a good piece of gear. And this year, Canon and Sony cleaned up receiving 8 of the 19 photography awards EISA gives out.
In what is, as far as we can tell, one of the first successful hacks of the Sony Alpha system thus far, a person who goes by the moniker Ma1co has managed to crack Sony's 30 minute video limit and break into several Sony Alpha cameras' language menus.
Sony's A-Mount system hasn't seen very much love in recent days, but there's still some activity. As the company promised late last year, today it announced two new versions of popular A-mount lenses: the Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm f/2.8 and the 16-35mm f/2.8.
WikiLeaks has just published a massive collection of emails and documents that were leaked through the 2014 Sony hack. Among the documents was a product and service launch calendar that mentions new cameras Sony is (or was) planning to launch in the first part of this year.
If the calendar is still accurate, then Sony will soon be announcing new cameras in the A7r, A6000, and RX lines.
The Sony rumor mill is roiling today as details and specs surface about new full-frame E-Mount cameras that the electronics company is planning to release. One of the juiciest bits of news is that Sony's rumored 'Pro' FF E-Mount camera won't be an updated version of the a7, a7r or a7s... but the first of a whole new line.
After a rather bland Photokina and PhotoPlus for Sony, it’s no surprise that they’re cooking up something really great for the photography world behind the scenes. And while we don't have any more concrete news about the rumored medium format camera in the works, a very reliable rumor says to expect a new, pro level full-frame E-Mount within the next 3 months!
It looks like Canon isn't the only one ready to re-start the dreaded Megapixel Wars with a high megapixel camera that has been all but confirmed to exist. Nope, fresh info from highly trusted sources claims that Sony will be jumping into the fray as well with a 46MP full-frame camera to be announced at the beginning of 2015.
You get a leak! And you get a leak! Everybody gets a leak!
It looks like somebody (or a few people) in the know at Sony were feeling very generous this morning because we woke up to not one, but two separate sources of leaked photos showing a very exciting new product from Sony: the next QX, smartphone-mounted 'lens camera.'
And it's exciting because, in this case, the term 'lens camera' doesn't really work anymore. This isn't a whole camera contained in a lens... it's more of a smartphone-attachable E-Mount that will let you swap out lenses!
I was under the spell of mirrorless ILCs from their birth in 2009 when Panasonic and Olympus literally tore up the rule book and started from scratch. Their debut models, the G1 and EP1, may have been a little rough around the edges, but I was immediately smitten: these were the future of cameras, at least as far as I was concerned.
At last an interchangeable lens camera with a sensor big enough to deliver high quality images, but a body small enough that I'd never leave it at home; the lens selection grew quickly and as for the full-time electronic composition, I embraced the positives, sold my full-frame DSLR and never looked back.
It's official, it's powerful, it's lightning quick and it's exactly what we expected... it's Sony's a5100. Leaked yesterday alongside a full (and fully accurate) list of specs, the a5100 got the official announcement treatment from Sony late last night, confirming that the company pretty much decided to pack an a6000 into a cheaper body.
Okay, maybe leaked is a misnomer here -- some publications have even come out and said they believe Sony (and others) are leaking stuff on purpose -- but regardless, we just got our first peek at the followup to Sony's a5000 mirrorless camera courtesy of Digicaminfo.
And what's more, that first peek comes with a full list of specs. If you're the type that likes to keep some things a mystery, we suggest you don't read on.
If you're in the market for some new gear, be it bodies or glass, this weekend and the coming week hold some enticing deals. Both Sony and Zeiss are getting in on the action, so take a look below and see if either are up your alley.
It's been a very interesting 48 hours for rumors, and it may have just reached its climax. According to sonyalpharumors, there is a brand spankin' new Sony full-frame E-Mount camera set to launch on Sunday!
It's been over a year since the last Sony A-Mount camera was announced, but it looks like that dry spell may be over soon. According to the ever-reliable sonyalpharumors, a successor to Sony's A77 SLT is on the way, and it's going to pack some serious speed.
One of the most exciting things about Sony's new A6000 is the crazy-fast AF system that's been built in. At just 0.06 seconds of lag, the A6000 claims the title of 'world's fastest AF' and blows most mirrorless cameras and APS-C DSLRs out of the water.
But if you're like us, you're not satisfied with knowing THAT it's fast... you want the WHY and the HOW as well. Fortunately, Sony has just released an episode of LearnTV that answers this question for you, and teaches you a few things about the different types of AF systems while it's at it.
The much-rumored Sony a6000 -- the camera that is replacing both the NEX-6 and NEX-7 -- has finally arrived, and it might just steal your heart with its insanely speedy performance and other impressive specs.
If rumors are true, Sony's a6000 -- the replacement for the NEX-6 and 7 cameras -- will arrive tonight around 11pm Easter Standard Time. Of course, that didn't stop the rumor mill from getting some info ahead of time, so if you want to see some specs and a few pictures, read on. Otherwise check back later tonight.
