Apparently Sony could’ve positively acknowledged this suggestion and in 2012 we might see a new hybrid camera, called AlphaNex that would unify the world of SLR Alpha with that of mirrorless NEX.
The new camera could be equipped to attack targets with an Alpha built-in E-mount adapter, so you can use both types of goal without external adapters, although this will have as disadvantage the fact that current working objectives NEX “crop mode”. The sensor will, as requested, a Full Frame and the body of the machine will be similar to that of the current NEX-7, only that to adapt to different sensor, probably will be slightly larger. Change also the viewfinder, which will always be OLED, but electronic generation and will be a “global shutter”.

According to some rumors, this camera would be already available in the form of prototype, nay, they are available in different models, which are currently under consideration by the company. What is important to understand is that no one is a Full Frame with attack and classical, but a real NEX Full Frame camera, so a completely different compared to an Alpha or Alpha 900 850.
Since the camera is already in prototype phase, it is plausible to think that we could see at least a preview at Photokina 2012, to be held in September.

We begin our review with the model marked with the initials Cyber??-shot DSC-W610, car shapes ultra-compact (just 19.3 mm deep) and simple design that fits comfortably in your bag or jacket pocket ready to be pulled out when the occasion requires.

It has a CCD sensor that provides a resolution of 14.1 megapixels, enough to get photos with details for possible enlargements up to poster size. In support, there is a wide-angle lens with 4x optical zoom that covers focal lengths between 26 and 105 mm equivalent in the traditional format.

There is the type SteadyShot electronic stabilization that reduces the risk of annoying blur when shooting handheld. The scene is repeated using the wide Clear Photo LCD plus 2.7 inch (230,000 pixel resolution), which offers a wide viewing angle to allow its use even in difficult situations.

Several built-in automatic functions: Intelligent Auto Mode, Face Detection, Smile Shutter and even the A 360 degrees for beautiful panoramic shots. Not only pictures, the W610 also records movies, but only in VGA (640 x 480 pixels). Will come from specialized centers in the coming weeks at a price not yet announced.

You can activate the digital zoom with 10x magnification settings increases the total range of magnification from 0.9x model DEV-5 up to 20x digital model DEV-3, with a maximum magnification of 10x optical, is devoted to subjects more closely spaced .

Essentially, therefore, the Japanese manufacturer has tried to minimize the problem, but has also shared the responsibility for ensuring all owners of Sony Nex-5N eliminating the annoying noise free as long to send the camera to the service center before it can give no guarantee Official Sony.

Let’s start from the most striking feature of course the interest of fans, namely the optical sensor. The NEX-7 is equipped with the new Exmor CMOS APS HD, which, as mentioned, can arrive at an outstanding resolution of 24.3 megapixels. Kingdom to Sony’s BIONZ image processor provides advanced shooting speed (0.02 seconds), low noise and a quality worthy of a professional. The sensitivity ranges from ISO 100 to ISO 16,000, providing clear images even in dimly lit places. Also good focus, thanks to the Object Tracking feature is able even to follow the moving subject, ideal if you need to shoot sports (situation in which you in good stead the continuous shooting speed of 10 fps). Very fun and convenient features are also Artistic Effects, which include 11 scene modes and 15 special effects.

Let’s talk about the actual use. The NEX-7 is equipped with Sony’s new OLED viewfinder TruFinder XGA, which the Japanese equivalent guarantees as to the professional optical viewfinders, with 100% frame coverage. It accompanies the LCD 3-inch Xtra Fine, whose position is changed by 90 ° upwards and 45 ° downwards, to ensure comfort in every shooting situation, even the most uncomfortable. If you are keen on video, in addition, the NEX-7 is compatible with Full HD AVCHD format and lets you select the frame rate between 50p and 25p for clear video and high quality. Here, too, comes to help the Object Tracking, but you can also select the manual focus for every need.

Finally, Sony NEX-7 is compatible with a large number of accessories. Remarkable ability to use the accessory shoe on a camera with automatic attachment to E, but beyond that you can also use the HVL-F58AM, F43AM F20AM and the HVL-twin macro flash and the LCD monitor MT24AM External CLM-V55.

The sensor is a CMOS Exmor, but in Super35 format. E ‘can capture video in Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) with a frame rate of 50 or 25 fps. Two options to frame the scene: the sight tube or the most comfortable 3.5-inch LCD high-resolution (920,000 pixels) that can be rotated 360 degrees to facilitate its use in even the most difficult situations.

Of note, finally, the presence of GPS receiver that can be very useful if you want to identify the geographical coordinates of the place that is recovering. Being designed for professional photographers, the new camera Nex-FS100 has a high list price: $ 6500 tax included.

Renowned for their ease of transport, this camera boasts a style that recalls the shape and layout of the controls of the bigger models. Although smaller in size and light weight, the new Sony G lenses HX9V boasts high performance, with a generous 16x optical zoom and wide-angle 24 mm, which is suitable for any shooting opportunity. In addition to its powerful zoom, digital cameras and HX100V HX9V are able to capture sharp images without blurring, considerably reducing motion blur, even in photos taken while walking. Supplied with both units, the SteadyShot optical image stabilizer with new Active mode is an excellent image stabilizing system, enhanced by the Vibration Reduction feature “3-Way Shake-Cancelling”, typical of the Sony HD Handycam camcorders.

The models HX100V HX9V and offer a wide range of shooting options in 3D, with features Sweep 3D Panorama, 3D Still Image Multi Angle and Sweep. The CMOS sensor Exmor R 12.2-megapixel, standard in both digital cameras, supports the brand new Intelligent Sweep Panorama High Resolution (HR). Simply press the shutter button and move the camera horizontally or vertically to capture stunning panoramic images with a resolution 10.480×4.096. Once you press the shutter button, the camera and HX100V HX9V may overlap two successive frames captured with different focus settings and achieve a truly professional effect, with subjects perfectly sharp in the foreground against a background pleasantly smooth. Ideal for travel, and more, these cameras have an advanced feature GPS / compass, which records the location and the direction in which the device was aimed at shooting time. It’s not all: After fire, it is possible to trace the path of the photographs with stunning online maps, playable on all PCs.

The size and super compact linear design, the new camera allows shots of valuable because with innovative CMOS sensor type “Exmor R” with a resolution of 16.2 megapixels. A wide-angle lens kit is a branded Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens that has 5x optical zoom (equivalent to 28 to 140 mm in the traditional format).

To avoid the annoying blur thinks the type SteadyShot optical image stabilizer while the management and processing is carried out by the Bionz processor. ISO sensitivity extends to the value of ISO 3200 to ensure rich and vibrant photos snapped in light even if environmental conditions are not optimal.

We said a machine designed for photographers the most advanced automatic functions as well as classical, are, in fact, these manual controls to customize to your liking the shot. Then there are the “Sweep 3D Panorama” which we have already extensively discussed that allows the photographer shooting in three dimensions.
