Wow, it’s September already, and summer is over!  Now, and through the fall I’ll be messing around with the text fonts here, seeing which one I like, and will eventually use for the new site design. I’ve been using Verdana mostly since I started the site, but I’ve grown to like Trebuchet MS, which has better looking kerning, with …

Just for kicks, here’s what I’d like to see in one of the next generation NEX cameras, we’ll give it a seven series designation (for an intermediate or advanced amateur model) and call it the NEX-7.  It’ll have ±3 stop exposure compensation with a dedicated button, a slightly larger body like the NEX-3, a real hotshoe, the ability to

My quick review page about the NEX cameras and system is about done.  I took a boat load of pictures for comparisons with other systems and lenses.  Unfortunately, all those pictures were taken when this website went haywire for about three weeks and I wasn’t able to actually build the review as I went along with testing like I

I’ve finally completed the NEX 16mm F/2.8 review, and it would not have been possible without B&H Photo, who graciously loaned me two brand new camera kits to play with
for a month.  You can thank B&H Photo, (and me) by purchasing your gear through my B&H links, that helps me to help you!!  Check out the NEX

Sony unloads a few new cameras to the market, all amateur models, but they’re still interesting. I’m late in getting the news out, but better late than never right!  Below are images of the A33/55, (shot with a P45 digital back by unknown person).  These cameras incorporate a pretty neat fixed translucent mirror, and therefore need to use an …

Many thanks to everyone that has donated to the site thus far.  I always take the time to send a gracious note to everyone that donates. Sometimes the email gets kicked back for some reason, or I never hear from a person, so I don’t know if they every received my note.  Be aware I’m very grateful to those …

I’m still adding to the NEX camera review.  Many reviews of the NEX system seem to

point to a slight over-exposure issue using auto mode.  I’ve been using mostly program mode and haven’t had any issues at all with over-exposure, although I haven’t noticed any real problems using auto mode either.  In auto mode, the camera seems to keep…

Check out the full review of the new NEX e-mount 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6 zoom lens.  This little lens turned in a pretty good performance, although not really much different overall  than the Sony DT 18-55mm kit lens.  The big differences are in build quality, focusing and handling.  The NEX zoom lenses have OSS, or optical steady shot, and will …
