Sony announces their newest DSLR today, and I’m right on it tonight–better late than never.  I was pretty sure they would bring this out soon, and I’m pretty sure they’ll introduce a full frame in the near future, but that’s not really going out on a limb if you’ve recently read what Sony has been up to.  Look below …

I added some better bad focusing examples to the Sigma 18-50mm review below.  Also, I actually came up with a percentage for out-of-focus shots, for 18mm and the telephoto 50mm end.  Go down near the bottom of the review page to check it out.

You’ve probably noticed I finally moved May through July home page entries to the Home …

Sigma sycophants do not read below.  I’ve finally finished my review of the Sigma DC EX 18-50mm F/2.8 macro I started a month ago.  It was super soft, so I sent it back (my nickel) to a Sigma repair facility and they claim they repaired the rear lens group.  It works much better, vastly improved I’d say.  In fact …

Panasonic decides to throw in the towel on the cool retro design scheme, this time around fronting a DSLR that may actually sell. Check out the new Panasonic DMC-L10.  It looks to be a lot like a fixed lens camera, only you can change the lens for more versatility, and of course better image quality-I would venture to guess.  …

Canon ready to dump 8 new cameras on the market.  Go here for nice product photos and a short description.  I’ll post spec sheets in a couple of days.  I find two to be of interest, the 40D and G9, unfortunately, I probably won’t be reviewing either one.  Somehow, the G9 and A-series downgrades are resisting the wide angle …

Good news from the repair shop on the Sigma 18-50mm F/2.8 I just bought.  It appears they have fixed it, and now it’s usable!  I had to pay shipping, go figure.  So I have to re-do my entire review I had nearly ready.  Oh well, it was only a weeks worth of work.  I also have the Sony 11-18mm …
