Sony A550 Review
The Sony A550 is a 14.2-megapixel DSLR that boils down to a more expensive entry-level camera. As with other Sony Alpha DSLRs, the A550 features a built-in stabilization system that uses sensor-shift functions rather than lens-based stabilization. As a result, every lens you attach to the camera benefits from image stabilization – as opposed to Canon and Nikon, for which you must buy “stabilized lenses” that can be more expensive.
Another familiar feature on the Sony A550 is the articulating LCD screen. Like the lower-level models, the A330 and A380, the A550’s LCD will tilt up and down, allowing you to hold the camera up high or down low and still be able to easily see the LCD screen.
A tilting LCD screen wouldn’t be much use without the ability to compose your scene on it. Again, the A550 offers the same Live View system that I have loved since it was originally introduced on the A300 and A350. In my opinion, no one does DSLR Live View better than Sony. It just works intuitively and feels very natural for those moving from point and shoot cameras. [Read more…]

CES 2010 Preview
The 2010 Consumer Electronics Show takes place January, 7-10 in Las Vegas. There will be a whole lot of photo tech on display at CES this year. Some of the manufactures present include Canon, Casio, Fuji, Lowepro, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Samsung and Sony.
This page will be our ground zero for CES news through the event.
Traditionally, CES has been the time for camera manufacturers to release a barrage of point and shoot cameras. With the market moving lots of low-end DSLRs at a much broader consumer base, it will interesting to see whether this affects the product announcements at CES which offers much more exposure to general consumers than say a PMA show (directed specifically toward pro and enthusiast photographers).
In this evolving page, we’ll highlight some of the big movers and shakers in the photography world as more details come in as related to their presence at CES 2010.
If you’re on Twitter, consider following Photography Bay as I may have some instant updates from the show floor and some mobile pics of new gear coming out as Tweets quicker than what you’ll find here or on the front page.
Canon
New Canon Point & Shoot Cameras: A3100 IS, A3000 IS, A495 & A490
Casio
My guess is more of those high frame-rate point and shoot cameras, like the FC100. Most likely they’ll be smaller and have better image quality.
Fuji
More EXR-equipped cameras maybe. These are good little cameras that seem to be doing well for Fuji. That’s for a good reason though, everything that I’ve seen from them really seems to produce solid images.
Kodak
New Kodak Point & Shoot Cameras: Kodak Slice, Kodak M580, Kodak Playsport
Nikon
More point and shoot cameras. Maybe we’ll see the camera that sends emails? Of course, we’d all love to see the Nikon D800 or D700s. Don’t hold your breath though. I wouldn’t expect this to be a CES ticket – perhaps a pre-PMA 2010 announcement?
Olympus
Olympus Stylus 7030, 7040 & 5010
Panasonic
Pentax
Expect some point an shoot cameras like everyone else. What I’m really curious about though is whether they’ll release the much-rumored and poorly kept secret 645D medium format camera.
Samsung
Samsung NX10 Announced: It’s a 14.6MP camera with a DSLR-sized sensor in APS-C format. The NX10 has no mirror like DSLRs, so it’s a bit more compact. Other features include HD video capture, an AMOLED screen and a built-in electronic viewfinder.
Sony
Sony A450: 14.2MP sibling to the A550 and A500. Essentially, the A450 is an A550 without the tilting LCD and Live View.
New Sony Cyber-shot Point and Shoot Cameras:
Sony W370, W350, W330, W310 & W300
