From its contained size, the SLT-A37 is the ideal machine for those who want to make the leap and abandon its compact as it is very easy to use. Equipped with a CMOS sensor in APS-C format with 16 megapixel resolution, just enough to allow detail shots, even for possible magnifications.

In support there is the much-appreciated Bionz processor to which is entrusted the management and image processing. There is then the optical stabilizer that acting directly on the sensor compensates for mechanical machine during the micromovement shots Freehand eliminating annoying blur.

Two options for framing the scene: the electronic viewfinder, the same mounted on A-57 ‘s older sister, and the most comfortable 2.7-inch LCD display that lends itself to be used even in the most difficult situations as removable and adjustable. There are the classic features that allow the photographer to work in full automation.

Of note, finally, the ability to click to gust up to a speed of 7 fps at full resolution and with autofocus and video module for recording of movies in Full HD (1080p). Sony SLT-A37 is waiting in specialist centres by the end of this month in a kit which includes the versatile 18-135 mm lens.

The vertical grip, the HDR-GW77V is designed for people who love to capture the best moments during your holiday at the sea or pool. It has a waterproof body so as to allow its owner to immerse in water up to a maximum depth of 1.5 metres and a maximum 60 minutes of shooting.

With regard to its technical characteristics, mounts a 20.4-megapixel sensor that allows you to record movies in Full HD (1080p at 60 fps) in AVCHD format. Included are the 10 x optical zoom to bring the scene and a large 3.0-inch LCD display with touchscreen technology to simplify the activation functions.

To report the presence of an internal memory of 16 GB for the most discerning clientele can also be expanded using SDHC memory cards and Memory Stick Micro. Sony HDR-GW77V will arrive in specialist centres from weeks to a retail price not yet formalized.

The bodies of these two products are high quality and interesting, but perhaps not particularly original in comparison with the rest of the market. What most interests us, however, is located at the level of the optics. The Japanese, for example, has revamped its 18-200 mm and also we can find available only for the Alpha series, also a new 18-135 mm lens that can actually act as a “middle way” with the 18-55 mm. The SLT-A37 is a entry level within the range Alpha and has no particular news compared to the past, although there are of course other interesting updates. The sensor, as said, it’s always the Exmor APS HD CMOS 16.1 Megapixels with Bionz processor. Compared to the previous generation (A35) has been sensitively raise the ISO sensitivity, which now arrives at a value of 16,000. Confirmed the SteadyShot Inside technology. Based on fixed Translucent mirror semitransparent Mirror, the A37 can be used with both the optical viewfinder, with both the new 2.7-inch LCD, slightly smaller than previous models. The strength of this machine will be the shots to burst with autofocus, which should be possible with a speed of 7 fps. All for a price that in America you should bypass around 600 $ (about 470 €) for the standard lens kit.

Sony NEX-F3 in turn has kept a machine body much like the past, opting for a series of small updates that made the product more performant. The sensor remained the same from 16.1 Megapixels with Bionz processor and also in this case the ISO was raised up to a value of 16,000. Video can be recorded in Full HD 60i and 24 p. As the tradition range do not have an optical viewfinder but the LCD screen mobile meets perfectly to this lack, thanks also to its 3-inch diagonal. Very particular is the placement of the flash, integrated with a retractable mechanism pop-up. Sony has chosen to put it in the right area of the camera body, very close to the shutter button. Particular choice, which we would like to see live. Also in this case the price should be about 600 $ with included in the kit lens 18-55 mm base.

In this article, we will focus our attention on Nex-F3, very contained dimensions and linear design with generous ergonomic grip that makes it firm and safe grip. As regards the technical characteristics, should mount a APS-C sensor with 16.1 megapixel resolution.

In support there should be much appreciated Bionz processor, a rotating LCD display to 180° with 3.0 inch wide ISO sensitivity, a variable within a range between ISO 100 and 16000, the ability to click to gust up to 3 fps at full resolution and video form for recording video in Full HD (1080p 24 p).

Sony Nex-F3 will be announced in the coming days and will arrive in specialized centres since June. As for the price, the usual insiders believe that it will take roughly 600 euro for take home kit includes the camera body and the lens standard.

With regard to possible technical characteristics, few have the information already in advance, but it seems that the new machine can mount a FF sensor with at least 24 megapixel resolution to which must be added the powerful autofocus system with cross-points 101 and ISO expandable to 6400 ISO value.

Two options for framing the scene to capture: the electronic viewfinder significantly improved as compared to the one mounted on its predecessor and the most comfortable LCD display, whose amplitude is not yet clear but it should be adjustable to allow the photographer to use even in the most difficult situations.

There is at this point that await further leaks or, better, the official announcement for full technical characteristics, including price and availability of the new Sony SLT A99. Stay tuned because we will update promptly when we have more information.

The update in question bears the internal firmware version 1.05 cameras to introduce some improvements and fixing several small bugs. In particular, engineers have improved responsiveness while reducing waiting times, and increased the speed and accuracy of autofocus.

The series includes SLT cameras with Translucent Mirror technology, i.e. fixed translucent mirror instead of the traditional fold. This undoubted advantages in terms of dimensions and on the performance, not least the opportunity to exploit the autofocus for recording movies.

The new firmware is already available and downloadable for free from the official website of the manufacturer. To see all the new features that have been introduced and to download click here. As usual, we recommend that you follow the installation instructions thereon in order to avoid possible problems during installation.

Sober designs in which a generous ergonomic grip that makes it firm and secure grip, the A57 has a powerful Exmor HD CMOS sensor with a resolution to 16.1 Megapixels assuring picture detail thanks to the valuable support offered by the Bionz image processor.

Don’t miss the optical image stabilizer that is entrusted the task of compensating for mechanically micro vibrations of the machine during the shots in order to avoid the annoying effect. ISO sensitivity varies within a range between ISO 100 and ensuring photo of 16000 filled with light, even in the most difficult conditions.

Among the most significant features include click to gust up to 10 fps at full resolution, the 15-point AF system (cross-3) which proves always abreast of the situation and the possibility of activating the continuous focus keeps the subject in focus, even if moving or momentarily obscured by other objects.

There are the classic automatic functions both dear to beginners, as well as the manual controls for the more experienced. It is also fully supported the Raw format beside Jpeg classic. Not only photos, the A57 also records movies in Full HD (1080p) in AVCHD format. Will hit stores starting in April to around 750 euros VAT included.

Despite its size, the WX690 has everything you need to allow shots from 16.1 Megapixels CCD sensor which is well supported by a versatile wide angle G lens with 10 x optical zoom (equivalent to a 25-250 mm in the traditional format) and the image stabilizer SteadyShot type.

To frame the scene we think the large 3.0-inch LCD display located on the back, which implements the touchscreen technology and therefore sensitive to the touch. There are also the classic automatic features that allow less experienced, or more lazy, to work in full automation focusing only on click.

Note the form for recording video in HD (720 p) and the ability to shoot and record simultaneously activating the Dual Rec function. Available since March, the new Cyber-shot WX690 will have a retail price of about 150 euros VAT included.

Apart from this main feature, this Sony has incorporated good performance to get sharp pictures in any situation and Full HD videos.

Noteworthy is the RTM Exmor CMOS sensor to make videos and pictures with all kinds of detail and low noise, even under conditions where there is little lighting, as well as the lens G of Sony that can capture any scene, taking close-up or wide angle.

Also worth noting his extended zoom, which extends up to a maximum of 17 x 10 x, and the processing system By Pixel Super Resolution, which allows its user to ensure that images are sharp and full of detail, even extends the zoom to the maximum. Also get good recordings thanks to the optical SteadyShot with active mode that corrects the vibrations to take a more still image while recording walking.

And one of the great innovations is the intelligent panoramic sweep that incorporates for the first time in a handycam. With this system it can capture panoramic scenes with a large field of view easily, because we only have to press the release button performing a scan.

This handycam, which will be available in Spain in the month of may, also includes the detection of faces and movement, by ensuring that persons or objects that are moving occur naturally to perform a scan with the camera. In addition, with the face detection is achieved not make self-portraits with the severed head.

Among other benefits, this Sony handycam is distinguished by the timer self-portrait for distant pictures, but perfectly framed and focused.

Finally, noteworthy mode auto intelligent with 99 types of different scenes, special underwater mode and GPS to record the location of photos and videos.
