Fotodiox WonderBurst NEX Delivers Wireless Flash to NEX-3 and NEX-5 Series Cameras

December 10, 2012 By Eric Reagan

Fotodiox Wonderburst NEX

Fotodiox has a new flash trigger system, the WonderBurst NEX, which features the unique NEX flash mount transmitter and a traditional hot shoe receiver. The wireless units feature 16 selectable channels and a 300′ range.

These are manual-only triggers and do not transmit TTL info and the manual flash sync speeds are limited to 1/160s. Still yet, it’s a very affordable system at only $40 for the transmitter and receiver package. Check it out here on Amazon.com.

Sony NEX-F3 In-Stock

June 20, 2012 By Eric Reagan

Sony NEX-F3

The Sony NEX-F3 is in stock at B&H.  The NEX-F3 looks to be everything that the NEX-C3 is – and more.

As a result, I’m pegging the NEX-F3 as the g0-t0 consumer camera for those who want better quality than they get out of a point and shoot camera.  I own the NEX-C3 and it has been a fantastic camera – particularly when combined with the great little Sigma 30mm f/2.8 lens that stays on it.

The NEX-F3 is available in silver and black.

Sony NEX-C3 Review

April 9, 2012 By Eric Reagan

Sony NEX-C3

The Sony NEX-C3 rounds out the bottom end of the NEX line; however, it’s still quite the full-featured camera.  I’ve already raved about the Sony NEX-5n (aside from a now-fixed problem with the audio capture in movie mode).  The NEX-C3 is just as impressive of a camera to me. [Read more…]

Sigma 30mm f/2.8 EX DN Lens In-Stock for Sony NEX Cameras

April 5, 2012 By Eric Reagan

Sigma 30mm for Sony NEX

I’ve been waiting and waiting for this lens to become available ever since I saw it at CES 2012.  Well, now B&H has them.  I just ordered mine and should have it in hand by early next week.  I’ll let you know what I think of it after spending some time with it (maybe next week, or maybe not until after NAB 2012).

Sony Set to Launch an APS-C G1 X Competitor?

February 21, 2012 By Eric Reagan

Canon G1 X

Sony Alpha Rumors is pegging a compact Sony APS-C camera that will go head-to-head with the Canon G1 X.  Reportedly, the camera would use a pancake zoom lens to keep the size down.

I think Sony has a great thing going with the NEX line. So, I’m very interested to see what such a camera could add to Sony’s lineup.  If anything, I think a fixed-lens camera seems more accessible to a larger market.  This isn’t necessarily in terms of price (the Canon G1 X isn’t cheap), but rather in terms of perceived user experience.

Sony NEX-C3, 30mm Macro Lens & F20S Flash Announced

June 8, 2011 By Eric Reagan

The Sony NEX-C3 is a follow-up to last year’s NEX-3 and NEX-5 cameras.  Based on the feature set and price point, the NEX-C3 appears to serve as more of a direct replacement for the NEX-3.

The NEX-C3 offers a 16.2MP APS-C sensor and captures 720p HD video.  The NEX-C3 covers a broad sensitivity range of ISO 200-128000 and is capable of capturing images at a frame rate of 5.5 frames per second. [Read more…]
