Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Several leaks and rumors point to a refresh of the excellent Sony RX100 (read my RX100 review) coming later this month. According to a leak of the RX100M2 manual, the camera will feature a hot shoe for attaching speedlights or other accessories and a tilting LCD screen. Additionally, the RX100M2 should feature the same 1-inch, 20.2MP CMOS sensor as is found in the current RX100. [Read more…]

The Sony RX100 is hands-down the best pocket zoom camera you can buy right now. Sony knocked it out of the park with a 20MP 1″ CMOS sensor and 1080/60p video capture in a camera that fits in your jeans pocket. [Read more…]
The upcoming full frame NEX-9 is rumored to accept full frame Sony Alpha lenses; however, it is supposed to do so without the use of the LA-EA3 NEX-to-Alpha converter like the Sony VG900 camcorder uses.

The Sony NEX-7N is rumored to replaced the NEX-7 with an announcement next month. The first spec list for the NEX-7N is below. [Read more…]
With the new Sony NEX-3N and A58 officially out of the gate, it looks like the next Sony camera due for replacement is the popular mirrorless flagship – the NEX-7. [Read more…]
The recently-leaked Sony A58 and NEX-3N are expected to be officially unveiled on Monday, Feb. 25, 2013. Firmed up specs have also leaked out now . . . leaving little to wonder about these cameras once official word comes out next week. [Read more…]
Along with the upcoming Sony NEX-3N that just leaked out, the Sony A58‘s official product images are now out in the wild prior to an official announcement as the successor the Sony A57. [Read more…]
The Sony NEX-3N is apparently coming pretty soon – based on these official images that leaked today.
These images show the NEX-3N equipped with the 16-50mm PZ (power zoom) lens that will take advantage of the zoom rocker switch that surrounds the shutter release. [Read more…]
The rumored Sony A58 is expected to have a 20MP sensor when it arrives in the next couple of months to replace the current Sony A57, which has a 16MP ASP-C sensor. The Sony A57 retails for $700 for the body only and $800 with a kit lens. Expectations for the 20MP A58 would put it in the same neighborhood of price for the respective body and kit.
Additionally, the upcoming Sony NEX-3N is expected to feature the same 16MP sensor as found in the NEX-F3. The F3 retails for $600 with a kit lens (although it can be had for $500 right now thanks to instant rebates), so it would be expected to see the NEX-3N slide in at the same price point as it replaces the NEX-F3.
Other products expected to be unveiled from Sony sooner rather than later include a Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 at $1600+, a new 18-55mm II kit lens for Alpha cameras and a new 70-400mm G f/4.5-5.6 II in the $2500 price range.

The first image of the upcoming Sony NEX-3N has leaked out. The NEX-3N will serve as the successor the very solid NEX-F3. What’s apparent from the image is the growing reliance on power zoom lens as evidenced by the zoom rocker switch that surrounds the shutter release.
While the leaked image shows the NEX-3N equipped with the 16mm f/2.8 common kit lens, current power zoom lenses from Sony include the 16-50mm PZ and the 18-200mm PZ. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a more affordable PZ kit lens introduced with the NEX-3N. [Read more…]
