Camera Raw idenfities a Sony Nex-3N lens as a Hasselblad, cause it’s true Hasselblad sells overpriced lens made by Sony.  

On the left, an original Sony NEX battery, named NP-FW50, costs about 70€ in Romania. On the right, Power3000 PL655B.823, a battery for the NEX series, costs about 30€ in Romania. I got the one on the right as a backup and used it a few times with my NEX-3N (fitted with Sony 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 […]

So Sony is selling its Vaio division to some investment fund, because it’s loosing so much money and Sony wants to cut costs. Vaio is a good line of laptops, too bad it is so bad. What I would do is instate a bonus system for people working at Vaio: if you come up with […]

Got really bored and decided to reinstall my Windows7 on my HP Probook notebook. Fairly an easy operation, half an hour to install Windows, half an hour to install all other software and tweak it the way I like it. And while doing it I realized Windows is a piece of crap OS. It really […]

After years of releasing mirrorless cameras without a clear direction, Sony got it right: they put a APS-C sensor on all of their mirrorless line. Being disappointed by the Sony A57 DSLT, I have bought a NEX3N with a 16-55mm kit lens, that sells for about 400 euros. It does not shoot 12fps or nothing […]

Now that the megapixel race is sort of passé, DSLR and smartphone makers have found new grounds to battle: low light. The one with the best picture in low light wins! Nikon launched D3200 with 24 useless megapixels. Samsung and Sony have 13 megapixel cameras on their smartphone. The 50 megapixel DSLR is near. All […]

You can’t find any data about this. Sony does not mention this in the manuals or on the web. The A57 shoots some horrible video, even with the kit lens. You can hear the lens moving on the video! With Sony lens and with other lens. There are two solutions to avoid this: use an […]

Last year, i was so impressed with the capabilities of SLT technology I sold my Canon 60D for an A57. One year later, I really can’t stand it anymore. The problems are as follow: Noise. I shoot a lot of pictures indoors. Family events, two grandsons playing, products. And I shoot on Auto ISO. The […]

I watch CES news like everybody else. Not so much to report, really. A lot of big tvs, a lot of stupid photo cameras, a lot of hd camcorders. Nikon D5100 is a good example of what the tech world has become by using a Toshiba sensor. Other camera manufacturers use Sony sensors. Even Apple […]

I wish i said i am using my new macbook air, but i am not. I am enjoying my new sony vaio y series, the closest thing to a macbook. I really wanted to get one, i love the design, the simplicity, the features, but i couldn’t. The OS is too limited for my taste. […]
