I’m working away on the A900 review, this time I have some ISO shots for you, and comparisons to the A700.  Check it out here.  The crops below are ISO 6400, and you can see the A900 (left) leaves more details intact.  I guess Sony is using less luminance reduction with this camera.  I also made sure …

I’m ahead of schedule for once, and have the long awaited Sony, Nikon and Canon kit lens shootout ready.  I used 6mp cameras for the review, such as the Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D for Sony, D40 for Nikon and the Digital Rebel for Canon.  It’s more fun to review lenses with these lower resolution cameras as they don’t magnify …

Canon announces three new cameras that interest me.  The EOS-5D mark II, Powershot G10, and the Powershot SX10IS, in that very order!  Canon also has a new 24mm F/1.4 L USM lens coming out in December for a cool $1699.  Are you paying attention Sony?

I’ve completed the updates on all the lens reviews, except the Nikon kit lens,…

Sony announces the  A900 finally.  Seems like the leaked info was mostly correct.  There still isn’t a very good selection of images available, when Sony produces some, I may put a few on a separate page.  Check out the specs below.  It looks like it’s an A700 with a full frame sensor, this is good as I really …

All Sony lenses on the review page have been revised and updated with new information and images.  I have a couple of Minolta and Sigma lenses yet to go. I have “Temp. down” tags next to unlinked lenses, so check back to see if they come up, I don’t always update the home page on a regular bases, obviously!  …
