Sony announced three new Alpha Digital SLR models, the DSLR-A380, DSLR-A330 and DSLR-A230. These three new DSLRs are designed for first-time digital SLR buyers, making the transition from point-and-shoot to the first steps in DSLR photography easier. The new cameras are smaller, lighter, and easier to use. Read the rest of this entry »

This year’s PMA tradeshow was my first chance to see the Sony Alpha A900 in person. They previewed it behind glass at last year’s show and finally introduced it at Photokina, in the fall. The Sony A900 is a 24-megapixel, full-frame, professional digital SLR, and the first and only digital SLR with an image-stabilized full-frame sensor. The A900 shows how serious Sony is about being a major player in the DSLR business. It has all the features and performance a professional digital SLR should have. And it’s built like a tank, as a pro digital SLR body should be. I think pro DSLR bodies should be able to double as a weapon. If someone tries to steal your camera you can knock them out with it.
