Hands on :Sony's DSLRs NEX-7

Sony announced a pair of new DSLRs in their Alpha line today, named the A77 and A65. As our sister publication Pop Photo awarded Sony's A55 the camera of the year award in 2010, we sit up and take notice whenever Sony releases a new flagship DSLR--and we're glad we did this time, because good lord, these are some impressive cameras.

Both are outfitted with the newest version of Sony's Translucent Mirror tech, basically an entirely new type of camera that our counterparts at Pop Photo absolutely love. You can read a longer description of that tech and why it's amazing here, but essentially the idea is that by using a translucent reflex mirror (rather than one that must be flipped up and away when switching to video mode), Sony's cameras enable legitimate autofocus for video. The higher-end A77 boasts the newest version of the Translucent Mirror, which gives it the world's fastest continuous autofocus shooting, capturing full-rez images (and at 24-megapixels, these are massive ones) at 12 frames per second (the A65 gets 10fps).


The viewfinder, another major strength of Sony's latest Alpha cameras, also gets an upgrade--this time to a high-resolution OLED. Instead of using an optical viewfinder, these digital ones allow all kinds of tweaking and overlays of settings, so you don't have to withdraw your eye and mess around on the camera's LCD to quickly change your aperture or white balance.
A surprising amount of the tech in the Alphas gets carried over to Sony's new interchangeable-lens compact, the NEX-7, the predecessor of which we ranked one of the best cameras of last year. It's got the same 24.3-megapixel sensor and same processor as the big boys, for example. Read more about it here.


You can read more about the NEX-7, A77, and A65 over at Pop Photo--and see a gallery of images taken with them, as those lucky photogs have been playing around with these cameras for a good few days now. The A77 will retail for $1,400, and the A65 for $900, with just the body--no lenses included. The NEX-7 will run for $600, body-only.

Olympus PEN E-P3 : Camera With the Processing Power of a Computer

Olympus PEN E-P3 : Camera With the Processing Power of a Computer

Dual-core processors have been a computing mainstay for more than six years, allowing machines to handle two tasks at once without sacrificing speed in either. This year, dual-core chips have begun popping up in app-hungry phones. The next step: cameras. The Olympus PEN E-P3 is the first digital camera running on a dual-core chip, which lets it capture, retouch, and save shots nearly twice as fast as most competitors.

A camera with a single-core image processor must expose the image and then record it and display it, a process that leaves a several-second lag between taking a picture and seeing it—plenty of time to miss the next shot. The dual-core E-P3 (the followup to last year's PEN E-P2) can record and display images simultaneously, all but eliminating the lag. That same speed applies when adding art filters, such as fisheye and gradient effects, or pumping up the color. In fact, the E-P3 can churn out four different versions of one shot in only a couple of seconds.

Olympus PEN E-P3

RESOLUTION: 12.3-megapixel stills, 1080i video

SCREEN: 3-inch OLED touchscreen

PRICE: $900 (with lens)

Sony NEX-3: is it Worth it?

Mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras (MILC) are becoming increasingly popular. This new breed started gaining momentum with micro four-thirds cameras like the Olympus PEN E-P1, which use 4/3-type sensors that are half the size of sensors used in entry-level digital SLRs and about nine times the size of sensors used in compact cameras. The latest development in the MILC segment is models that use APS-C size sensors. The first such camera was the Samsung NX1, and now we have two models that Sony recently added to their Alpha brand, NEX-3 and NEX-5. Both models sport a 14.2 megapixel sensor and HD movie recording capabilities. The major difference between the two is that the NEX-5 boasts 1080i video recording and the NEX-3 does it at 720p.

Features:

The retail sample of NEX-3 that we got from Sony had the body, 18-55 mm kit lens, add-on flash, battery charger and neck strap. Despite a large sensor (23.4 x 15.6 mm), the NEX-3 is very slim (33 mm), unlike DSLRs, which are twice as thick. DSLRs get the bulk from the mirror box and the optical viewfinder mechanism through which you can see the frame via the lens. The mirror box has a mirror, which reflects the image of the frame to a five-sided prism (pentaprism). When you see through the optical viewfinder, you see the frame reflected back by the pentaprism. On releasing the shutter, the mirror flips upward and makes way for light to reach the exposed sensor. After the photo is shot, the mirror returns to its position. That’s why you hear a prominent clapping sound when you shoot with a DSLR. Mirrorless cameras are slim because they don’t use a mirrorbox. Hence, they don’t have an optical viewfinder and the flange focal distance from the lens mount to the sensor is also less. So you have to frame your shots using the LCD.

Nikon D3000 | Affordable D-SLR

Pitched squarely at the base of the DSLR market, Nikon's new D3000 made its official debut this month.The company wants the D3000 to be "the DSLR made simple" and as such has implemented a simple-to-use menu system.

The camera will set you back £430, while there'll be a kit available featuring the D3000 plus the 18-55mm VR lens for £500.(Nearly Rs. 30000/- INR.).

It's available from 28 August and replaces the existing and hugely popular D60, which is being discontinued. It seems very similar to that model in terms of feel, yet looks more like its more expensive stablemate, the D5000.
