Sony foams Miami: Alpha dSLR part of major promotion

For some time I have been wondering why Sony (SNE) doesn’t use it’s marketing muscle to promote the Alpha dSLR line more effectively. Despite the onslaught of great dSLR models such as the A700, the A350, A300, and A200, I continuously run across people who are completely unaware that Sony is in the dSLR business. [...]

Sony has started shipping the Alpha A350. I took delivery of one of the big orange boxes last week and have started putting the A350 through it’s paces. So far, I am fairly pleased with the 14m dSLR — I will post a review with samples shortly. I had hoped to update my copy of Adobe [...]

Or should I say former high-end flash unit…as of this writing the HVL-F56AM is missing in action at the Sony Style website.

Sony confirms 24mp sensor in Alpha flagship dSLR

Sony quickly ended speculation about whether the new 24mp sensor would show up in the yet to be officially named “flagship” dSLR. Soon after Sony announced the full frame sensor, several high-profile Sony doubters expressed their opinion that Sony would never use the sensor in their own cameras, because after all “Sony would never dare [...]

Sony Alpha news explodes at PMA 2008

What a difference a year makes. At the 2007 PMA show Sony Alpha dSLR line was shunned by most of the press. There were no great announcements, although Sony did show off two mockups of yet unnamed dSLRs. The “Advanced Amateur” model eventually came to pass as the A700, while the tantalizing “flagship” is [...]

A300 and A350: Sony Alpha line gains two more dSLRs

Another week, a couple more new Sony Alpha dSLRs… Sony has officially announced two new dSLRs, both featuring Sony’s new Quick AF Live View system. This brings the Sony dSLR model lineup to five, provided you include the original A100, which is no longer in production but still available in many outlets. Only about four months ago, [...]
