Sony NEX-7 review

sraynes — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 16:28:59 +0000

The Sony NEX-7 sits right at the top of the company’s compact system camera (CSC) range and is currently one of the most expensive CSCs available, costing around £1,000 for the body only, or around £1,130 with an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens.

The NEX-7 appears to be aimed at demanding users who like the idea of a more compact camera, but don’t wish to compromise on image quality or exposure control. Videographers may also look at this new Sony with interest because it’s capable of recording Full HD video with AF tracking and manual exposure control.

Sony A77 review

Review units for Sony’s long-anticipated replacement for the A700, the Sony A77, have finally made it to UK shores, although the worst flood disaster to strike Thailand for 50 years has hampered the camera’s official release into the market.

Scanning the A77′s specifications, it’s impossible to be unimpressed with what’s on offer. The camera is positively overflowing with up-to-the-minute technology that either matches or supersedes the competition. Boasting a new 24.3Mp APS-C format CMOS sensor, 19-point autofocus (AF) system, 12fps continuous shooting, Full HD (1080p) video recording and the highest resolution electronic viewfinder we’ve seen to date, it’s clear that Sony isn’t taking any prisoners in its battle against the traditional SLR.
